She is a bit young isnt she?
I was just surprised me when I heard they casted her as Mary.

Ashley is around the same age as Laura Michele Kelly (maybe a year or two younger). Julie Andrews was 29 when she did the movie.

And they cast her as Mary, not "casted".

It kinda won't matter if she "pulls off Mary"
or not.
The Show is the Star.

I bought tickets for the show near the first preview. I'm so excited to hear her sing live, love the B/B clips.

Can't wait for the show!

hopefully I'll be able to get to the city to see her as Mary...I miss simply being able to go to CCM and see her perform in shows there! She's incredibly talented!

She is talented! However, Disney just wants to make money on the show Mary Poppins.

Will Gavin Lee get billed before Ashley since he has done the show and is more well known then her? (At least in London)

Gavin Lee is no more less well known than Ashley Brown on these shores. I imagine Brown will be billed first, since she's playing the title role. They'll probably both be on the same line, but Brown's name will appear first.
