Inez in played by an adult actress on tour because when a child is in the role, a tutor/child wrangler MUST be on staff and a child requires constant supervision and costs more money.
They cut from 10 trucks to 8 to simplify the touring load ins/outs.

I can not believe someone is impersonating me. Donna you need to change your name. There is room for only one D'Luscia on this board and that's me!!!

Now I know how CJR feels, when someone stole her identity.

at one point during the song "I know where I've been" Link was downstage with Inez. He sort of put his arms around her. It looked kind of sexual or flirtatious because Inez is now an adult. I didn't work. It took on a whole new meaning. The blocking only worked when Inez was a little girl.

Do they change the script at all when Inez is played by an older girl?

There is no need to change the script. It's still teh same character.
side note -- Inez has ALWAYS Been understudied by adult actresses.

I believe Shayna Steele understudied Inez in the original Broadway production. The point is, if the person looks and sounds the part, why not? Donna, I'm assuming that who you saw didn't have the "kiddy" quality?

Shannon Antalon, who plays Inez on tour, understudied Anika Noni Rose in Carline or Change. yes, Shayna Steel understdies Inez on broadway.

IMHO, the original Inez was SO BAD compared to the one who followed her...I think the second Inez's name was Aja Maria-she was absolutley PHENOMENAL
