This strikes me as a tad creepy.

Here's the article I read in the Providence Sunday Journal about her...http://www.projo.com/theater/content/artsun-ross_01-14-07_IA3OVHM.107654e.html

I find it a tad odd. If you hear her, I mean, she is good, but I don't get where he got his passion for her from.

She played Maria in 'Sound Of Music'?

At 15?!

Yeah this is a little weird.
Is that really what it takes to make it now? Be an attractive 15 year old, send a kareoke email to some ancient Broadway veteran and hope he's in a good mood?

Goshen doesn't do High-School-shows.

i don't know, call me crazy but I don't hear anything special about her. too many people I train with that deserve webber's publicity....

"She is still only 15 and it is going to be great to see her develop"

That made me laugh for very wrong reasons

I thought the article said Marta, not Maria.

I've seen Andrea live in a ton of things, and I think she is really talented. Do I think she's perfect? Not at all, but for her age she is outstanding. And Andrew Lloyd Webber isn't stupid, he wouldn't like her if she didn't have anything.

She was one of the last people they were looking at to play Ariel in Little Mermaid, but didn't end up getting it.

That being said, Andrea does not "have it all" but she is very talented.

again...i know too many people that deserve the publicity (this sounds like another Emmy Rossum is a Goddess arguement coming along...)

I think Andrew Lloyd Webber has been slowly entering senility since the mid-90s and this story is my latest piece of evidence to add to the pile.

I believe Andrea Ross played Gabriella in High School Musical at Stagedoor Manor...if it is the same girl..

We haven't heard the girl, yet. She might actually be as good as all that.

But, it seems his latest thing is wanting to discover the next big star.

Type in her name on the forbidden website. The Sydmonton concert is there...

Again, watching her, I do not understand where he found his passion for her. She's good, but nothing special.

ETA: Just wanted to say that I do think she has a lovely voice, et al, but as Egan said, he seems to be simply trying to find the next "big star." Really, I don't think his interest in her is all that whole-hearted.

I somewhat take back what I said earlier. So far I'd only listened to her legit musical theatre voice. Her website has more contemporary songs, which, I feel, seem to suit her voice much better and show it off more. It has some ghreat maturity about it, especially there on her site where her album is apparently displaying a better style for her voice than she does with musical theatre.

Andrea is a very good friend of mine, and personally I find it incredibly distasteful that you people would go as far as to start talking about pedophilia where she and Mr. Lloyd Webber are concerned. Having seen her work, and having heard much of what she has done, she is incredibly talented. The star quality comes from her disposition, humility and her genuine love for the art form, and that is what Mr. Lloyd Webber saw.

Her extensive resume in the Boston area, which includes appearances with the Boston Pops further support the evidence that this girl is immensely talented.

Think what you want, but please do me a favor and grow up.

Yup, she was in the debut of High School Musical at Stagedoor. It is great to see Stagedoor kids getting breaks! Congrats!

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

what's up with ALW? He's failing as a writer so he's trying to reinvent American Idol?!
I'm not saying she's not talented... I don't think there's cause to fall head over heels for her abilities though but well... I guess ALW can still recognize a good gimmick when he sees one and why not prop himself as the fairy Godmother of musical theatre as a career move, there's worse.
