I heard she wasn't vocally ready to take such a role.

She seemed to sing it fine in the rehearsal videos. It's not like it's that challenging of a role vocally.

"Broken Foot but I do not think she is ready."

She was ready, she just hurt herself and had engagements after. Thats all.

If the Weisslers weren't willing to stop Melanie Griffith from actually going on, then I have to believe that Mya's injury was legit, as there is no way she could have been worse than that.
