I notice the "stigmata" marks are no longer on her hands in the show posters. I am sure lizziecurry will point out I missed the discussion on this, but I searched and couldn't find it.

pressure from the Nothing Like a Dame folks?

Pressure from the Christian folks, I thought.

That's awful how they removed it. I thought the stigmata was the best part.

I really enjoyed this interview for me, which doesn't happen to me that much. I don't know why, I think she just has a great personality and it was interesting to hear her thoughts on juggling her "career" and motherhood.

Thanks for reading and enjoying my interview feature with the wonderful Mrs. Scott. She was indeed very personable and her hilarious cynicism oozed from my phone as we chatted. A very funny woman who clearly loves her life.

For those questioning the removal of the stigmata from the poster design, read here:

Doesn't make too big of a difference when you think about for whom the concert is benefiting.

I feel like the poster is way too plain now without the stigmatas. There's nothing really to look at now.

And there's kinda no point for her hands being up like that now.

I am jewish and not religious, but I was shocked by the marks on her hands to be honest. Not surprised that they were removed.

Thanks for the link EugLovin...I'm not surprised she was made to change the poster. Didn't bother me, but I remember the posts here regarding the design.

I'm surprised this board didn't jump all over the change when it happened!

Is Sherie going to be out of The Little Mermaid tonight? I know she's out this weekend (I'm assuming to get ready for her show).

stella985, Sherie is only scheduled to be out of the show Saturday and Sunday. Cicily Daniels will be going on as Ursula in her absence.

Controversial things are good!! She should have kept them.

I agree, it's upsetting that she changed her poster based on what a very small and small minded number of people had to say. Who cares, it's a poster!

Word on the street was Heidi Blickenstaff was going to cover the role of Ursula this weekend while Sherie Rene Scott was out. However, rumor is she injured her foot and will not be the tentacled-queen after all. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks! I'm going tonight and one of the main reasons I want to see the show is for Sherie so I'm glad she'll be there.

And, EugLoven I believe you are correct.

Heidi was originally supposed to go on this weekend but was injured a couple weeks ago and cannot go on for at least another week so Cicily is going on as Ursula Saturday and Sunday.
