Okay, so apparently it’s the musical, which should be interesting.
Mary doesn’t have a lot of what I’d call really vocally challenging songs, though. The real actor who has to be a powerhouse is the one playing the hunchbacked uncle Archibald Craven, and I honestly can’t see any grade schooler being able to pull it off. Mandy Patinkin played the role originally on Broadway and that’s a tough act to follow.
Not sure how Heart can be an acceptable understudy if she doesn’t have the talent for the lead, though.
