[@MoLewis57]

Everybody's talking about the guy's age, but what's really underrated here is that they did all this on an uneven surface full of fake trees, vegetation, and rocks. One false step could have scuttled the whole performance, particularly when he leaped from the top of the "hill" to the bottom of the "hill" and she pirouetted on a "rock."

[@anikotothvox]

He was actually 23 at the time of the performance. Still, he does look too old. There are plenty of men around that age who look younger.

[@jenjohnson1136]

She was 19 and could reasonably pass for a teen (especially in a world where Maria is played by a 30 year old). He was 23, nearly 24, and definitely looked like an adult.

Rolf: ".... I am 30, going on 35 ..." Reminds me of the scene on Friends where Joey asks if he can pass as a 19 year old. Joey: "So you’re playing a little Playstation, huh? That’s whack! Playstation is whack! ‘Sup with the whack Playstation, ‘sup?! Huh? Come on, am I 19 or what?!"

I don't like how he's telling her how to feel in the song but I've seen 17 year old boys do way dumber, way creepier shit.

While I do love this rendition, I really wish they would hire performers that are around the age of the characters... There are plenty of talented, professional young performers looking for their first big role they could pick from.

[@Kim-dl2uk]

I agree but it is very difficult to make musical productions with underage performers due to child labor laws.

[@missjustpeachygirl]

@@Kim-dl2uk Acting isn't considered child labor, they just have to ensure they have the right mandatory work permits.

[@alexsantoro597]

It’s hard working with younger performers/actors because of school/work/projects/etc (I think you get where I’m going with this). For example in Love Never Dies they needed a young boy for the role of the main characters son Gustave. They hired 5 boys because of their schedules

[@missjustpeachygirl]

@@alexsantoro597 No I understand that completely, but the beauty of theater is that it's for all ages. I think the performances themselves should reflect that too, and as much as I love the A lister performers, I'd like to see those without means get opportunities too.

Everyone comparing the movie from this version is forgetting the script is very different. All the actors are doing this live, like a high school musical. They can only do so much with the scenes. If they mess up, they keep going. Go watch the UK version with Kara Tointon. (Which in my opinion is 10000% better.) The little girl who played Marta trips and Kara (Maria) ad libs “Are you okay Marta?” There are also scenes where she gets excited and other actors have to put hands on her shoulders to calm her down. She is literally acting like a seven year old, as she is. Kara forgot some lines, other characters go with the flow. (Ex: Maria is supposed to say “That’s a good age to be, eleven...almost.” Instead Marta says her line a little early. Etc ...) In the lonely goatherd song, Kara has a small issue putting the hat on Gretl. Stuff like that. Still The show goes on... I only noticed these, because I did theatre and memorize scenes. So comparing the Live! Version to the movie isn’t fair. Two totally different scripts, sets etc ...
