She's doing the reading for HOME. Not sure how much life that has.

She's probably busy with her grammy nomination.

I also heard a rumor about the flight-ready production.

I thought they weren't renewing her contract and thus she started auditioning for other shows.

"Last time I checked, she was auditioning for another production that included flying. She must have gotten casted"

She's doing Peter Pan?

@Jordan For her audition song she sung "I'm Flying" from Peter Pan, so I'm guessing the show she got casted in was Peter Pan.

CASTED IS NOT A WORD!!

Everyone is referring to vlog in which she went on an audition that had flying in it. I am assuming it is for a commercial, or something that is not a big broadway show since it was filmed...I feel like casting directors and such would not allow any audition footage to surface or be published like that.

Also I think her contract wasn't renewed because she could potential grow out of the role at any point. And that her contract was initially made with the notion that there would not be any renewal.

I thought when your auditioning the last thing the producers/casting director wants you to sing is something from the show they're casting...

Well, at least they didn't do her the "Martin Charnin way"

THANK YOU, Ljay! Pet peeve of mine as well.

Even in fishing it is CAST. Yesterday, I cast my line so far, it tangled in the growth at the other end of the pond.

Lilla's "sin" was that she grew up. Some of the orphans have already grown out of their roles. Lilla's already too tall...so are Jaidyn and Georgie. Annie's and orphans have been replaced throughout all Annie productions from the beginning of time. A lot of the kids are leaving at the same time. I doubt there is any ulterior motive here outside of the fact that they grew up. I am sure she is ready to move on as well...

I am glad about Anthony..he made the show along with Lilla. I have seen Taylor (she's a good actress but sadly she doesn't really sing). However, I would like to see Sadie. I saw her as a replacement orphan and she really stood out in the group.

I heared she got castigated as Little Red Riding Hood in the movie "Into the Woods!"

I guess she knows things now, many valuable things.

Could that flying project be the new musical "Fly" that Andy Blankenbuehler is choreographing??

Taylor's fine, but I was hoping they'd move Sunny up to the leading role.

[KathyNYC2]

^^^ I guess Sunny if she stays with the show will be trained to work with Sadie, since Taylor already works with Mike, the other regular dog they use.
