It was Tatum's stage debut and she couldn't have asked for a better cast. She was one of two young girls in the cast and everyone was extremely kind and inclusive of her. She LOVED every minute of it.
This was a dream role for Carlie. Watching her perform every night and NAILING it EVERY show...my heart could have just burst. I can't even express how proud of I am of both my daughters.
Over the years of being involved in theatre, I've watched as Carlie has received big roles, small roles, and NO roles. It was heart-wrenching watching her go through the tough times. But going through those times make moments like this, that much sweeter. Nothing has been handed to her. She has worked HARD to get to where she is today. Eponine is hands down her most favorite role of all time--which is saying something because she's been a pretty girly princess a couple of times:) How grateful we are to have been a part of this.
The show itself was top-notch. I could not believe the level of talent amongst these teens. They brought this play to life and did an incredible job. Through 6 shows, these kids pulled together, did hard things, and amazed all those who had the opportunity to watch--every show was sold out! People paid to stand in the back! It was that good!!!

Amazing show run. It's been a LONG 5 months but completely worth all of the extra hours and effort. Crazy proud of my girls. Crazy proud of this entire cast.
