I saw this interesting profile of Seth Rudetsky.

Do you think that Seth's text re. Lilla Crawford booted the other girl from Into the Woods?

What other girl?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

As I recall, the only confirmation of Sophia Grace Brownlee's casting in Into the Woods came from her publicist, she was never included in any press materials from Disney or mentioned by Rob Marshall. Then, when she was "fired" that only came from her father (and again maybe her publicist); again, no word or comment from Disney or Rob Marshall. It always felt like some big scheme to try to force Disney's hand, and they just didn't play along.

Perhaps he helped Lilla get in the room, but (as has been talked about in any thread involving Ben Platt) talent gets you the role. I'm sure they saw dozens of girls for the role and chose the one who they felt was best for it.

Seth seems to acknowledge that talent is what gets them the gigs. But, it is neat that he greases the way along for them!

If that's true AEA AGMA SM, then i give the father/publicist a lot of credit for trying to force Disney's hand .... I'm curious why they thought that they that could work, but I dig it. Very juicy!

I’m pretty sure there was some official acknowledgement that the creative team realized after she was cast that having a very young child (as Sophia was) in the part didn’t work and that they realized it was a mistake. Maybe it was in an interview with Rob Marshall but I believe it has been discussed by the creative team of the film.

Some media coverage when it was announced that Sophia Grace was cast in the INTO THE WOODS film adaptation:

Interesting. Thanks. I was curious about this!

By the way, going back to the article, I'm curious which other stars Seth has helped!
