Teen Postpones College to Star on Broadway as Cher

[@bbyskittles91]

This is what happens when you make you kid feel comfortable and confident enough to do whatever they want. Her mom encouraged and supported her so much. She's awesome.

[@SuraDoes]

bbyskittles91 she is the product of good parenting

[@fredrika27]

@@SuraDoes That's true, but her parents should have made sure she also did her chores. Her mother caters to her, but that isn't good, because it makes her entitled. Other people her age do their own laundry AND go to work and/or school. I like she does her shopping and has a nutritionist to keep her healthy, but there is too much kissing up to her and telling her she is great. That said, she is very grounded. Get her a dance coach who teaches her to us heat and cold treatment before her feet swell up!

[@lilmissmonsterrr]

@@fredrika27 that's not the impression I got at all. She seems pretty hardworking to me. When you're in a whirlwind like Broadway you have to prioritize and she seems thankful to have her mother's support and help. Then again, it's a 12 minute highlight reel so neither of us should have much to say about who she is as a person.

[@bstmeg5237]

@@fredrika27 you seem more entitled than she does. Nobody has to do chores just because it's not fair to you

[@bstmeg5237]

@@fredrika27 pretty sure if she's on Broadway she has therapists who teach her proper proticol. She's 19 her mom can do her laundry if her mom wants stop being bitter. I'm in premed she's icing just fine heat is for aches cool is for therapy and injury. Basic anatomy and physiology.

[@RayMak]

This will get her much further than college will.

[@virgie4715]

Ray Mak yes! And if she does want to go to college later on, she’ll probably be able to pay for it herself!! Win, win.

[@TheRachaelTeam]

Hey ray!! Love Ur page and Shawn :) lee

[@RayMak]

@@TheRachaelTeam thank you so much

[@skinsey85]

Especially if she wants to go for women's or gender studies lol

[@mollywaters1684]

Carnegie mellon, the college she was meant to go to, has been rife with successful musical theatre graduates though, she was probably going to study theatre or musical theatre there aha

[@Andrew0David]

I met her at the stage door in Chicago and you could never tell that she is so young. She's incredibly mature and handles this role so well.

[@jacobhines5583]

Naw she just looks old tbh

[@colleen395]

She performs in nyc

[@Andrew0David]

@@colleen395 The Cher Show did their out of town tryout in Chicago last summer.

[@rowelle]

For Fun Didn’t you hear her talking about the tryouts in Chicago, or did you not watch the whole video?

[@colleen395]

rowelle I was talking about something else of course I watched the whole vid ya idiot

[@Sadude13]

SHE IS VERY CONFIDENT!!! AND CLEARLY HAS A LOT OF CHARISMA!!! WORK

[@MsEliteForever]

But she doesn't look like Cher.

[@whereami4025]

Damn right

[@miriamhughes]

Do you mean CHERisma? ;)

[@iTeacupPanda]

She is a pretty girl with a lot of talent, but she doesn't look or sound like Cher. She is a soprano, not even a mezzo and Cher is an alto. So it's confusing . . . Madonna's musical actually got someone who looked like her 100%.

[@alicew5589]

“My boyfriend, Trader Joe’s” 😂 love that for her♥️

[@ZoraTheberge]

I sort of love the idea that she could potentially play the other two Chers down the road.

[@DawnKellyMedia]

Yas!

[@Finjen22]

YES

[@chowtime91]

She’s so likeable. She has the perfect amount of theatre kid precociousness without being over the top obnoxious.

[@minarooda]

Yes!!

[@bstmeg5237]

True I was jealous at first she doesn't seem to have training at least in singing or dance. Seems she was in theater probably but yes what you said she isn't too obnoxious or artsy fartsy and she doesn't seem smug

[@anjalipamurthy5635]

teamdamien Stephan I doubt she got on broadway with as little training as you’re described

[@evalynn1863]

Clicked on this without any idea of who she is and 12 minutes later I'm crying and hoping she succeeds at everything in life. She seem's like an old soul and is so wise and talented

[@leightvreporter]

Awwww so sweet. Glad you liked the story!!!

[@beefilms6656]

her relationship with her mom is so genuine and sweet

[@stefcervantes]

She reminds me of Joanna Ceddia , with the glasses, the bun, the avocado toast

[@sarahwons1093]

Hahahahah yes, when she said avocado toast i lost it

[@Charlotte-fw9fi]

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!!!

[@pamveeee]

[@ryandantinne]

I would never guess that she's 19 she seems much more mature and even looks older

[@jomoland]

ryandantinne yeah I would have guessed mid twenties

[@rhavenlynn5364]

Ok. The girl has a Zeppelin shirt on! Yes, she is very wise!

[@kaseycass3064]

Her resemblance to both Cher and Emmy Rossum is mind-blowing!

[@Ghtto_V]

Kasey Cass I KNEW SUM1 was going to recognize that she looks like Emmy from shameless

[@phantomvideowatcher]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@tafferine388]

She looks nothing like Cher though??

[@SuraDoes]

Kasey Cass she does look like Emmy Rossum 😮

[@PickmeshaJones]

Kasey Cass Emmy Rossum yes! I was gonna comment that

[@nmoomoo]

I don’t know if this is a stretch but she kind of looks like a young white Tracee Ellis-Ross

[@RPlaza-ht9gp]

Ricky Franc it’s not you right!

[@jade3026]

Definitely not a stretch at all! I was trying to place who she looked like

[@ebbykayyc8442]

Yep just the fully white version. Tracee is only half

[@aliyahjohnson1595]

Ricky Franc omg deadass

[@michellelopez4944]

I see it!

[@grl9990]

She kinda has Joanna Ceddia energy

[@emmettj.5873]

[@sourcherrypie]

She's got Tracee Ellis Ross vibe

[@cblw14]

She favors her too

[@sarahfuller5482]

With a smidge of Emmy rossum

[@Tyra_Rose]

It has to be the eyes!

[@sourcherrypie]

It's the eyes + mouth visually, but most importantly, the confidence and sheer passion that she radiates for life and work.

[@MOSEART85]

YES! She looks just like her 😊

[@bobbymunster3451]

I'm glad you posted a video about her. I felt really bad when watching the Tonight show and she didn't have the chance to say who she was. This gives her the light to shine.

[@luisGarcia-yy5vj]

She looks like the white version of tracee ellis ross

[@rmereh]

omg that is so insane.. you're right! hahaa

[@yikes3720]

Yes!!! I couldn't quite place who she reminded me of, but that's so spot on

[@RadicalCrazyness]

EXACTLY

[@maryannedelaney]

Amazing!

[@hdb80]

So true!

[@Btrains84]

It's very easy to imagine her as Elphaba too!!..She's got that vibe!!..

[@ceshcummings6402]

I personally think with the proper makeup, and wig, she looks very much like Cher during her show days. Especially from the side.

[@cecorra]

She is so down to earth and that relationship with her mother. I am jealous.

[@sodivmlight]

the nicest drama major at LaG. a truly genuinely nice person who was never obnoxious or stuck up. and with a whole lot of talent. she truly deserves all the attention she’s getting !

[@bleupisces66]

I saw her in the Chicago production before it went to Broadway. She was definitely the standout in the show. She's going to have a very long career.

[@hannahhester8376]

If I had the chance to play any role on Broadway, much less a lead role, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

[@janetalexa]

i had no idea who she was before clicking on this video and i’m walking away loving her charisma and character, hoping she gets everything she wants out of life

To the girls who I have done shows with who can't do their own make up or refuse to. See I told you even Broadway actresses can get themselves ready

I just want to say how much I adore her, and her mothers relationship. You can really tell that they’re truly each other’s best friends, and that they love each other. But also you can tell her mother always made it a priority to make her dreams come as alive as possible. Especially by making her more comfortable in her own skin, and much more. I hope but nothing but blessing for these two.
