[@edespop]

sorry but to think now if Millie got this she wouldn’t have performed in the Olivier Awards or done a solo on National TV

[@not_gabi6508]

Honestly I say it’s a blessing that she didn’t get this role. She wouldn’t be as big as she is now

cp star don’t you mean to young for the role of Velma cos that’s the name of the character lol

[@capucine9791]

Molly Dyke yup that’s exactly what I meant idk why I wrote that 😂. I’ll change it now thx for correcting me

[@laylagrace7325]

With six it has alot more energy which is perfect for her

Boleyn was perfect for her

She seems more of a Roxie to me personally

Millie is SO good in SIX. After seeing this I love her even more. So humble.....she totally deserved her Olivier award nomination.

[@actress5256]

Poor Millie fell! But still kept going! What a queen!

Millie auditioning for Chicago but gets Six 😂😂😂

[@laylagrace7325]

Seren Lewis idk y but I kinda felt bad for her but also kinda happy that she didn’t get it because If she did she probably wouldn’t have got Anne Boleyn 💚👑

[@misterroboto9999]

Thinking about it, if she got velma, we probably wouldn't have heard of her. Instead, she popularized a new role, standing out, and thereby cementing a place in all our hearts.

[@astridb1374]

And now she be in be more chill

Millie! She's amazing!

[@smilesomemoar]

Millie: *didn't get the part* Also Millie: Is it because I stepped on the turkish rug???

[@Gryffindame]

Interesting that they do dancing first over the singing

[@Shinybuddies]

The dancing for Velma is really hard - it will eliminate more people, faster, than the singing

[@maceylamb8922]

Most people can sing and act but struggle on the dancing side. So they try and eliminate more people during the dance sessions than having to sit through loads of singing

[@felicitylittler]

Thats how all auditions🥰

[@ivysayshello]

oml I was wondering why KZbin kept recommending this to me and then MILLIE showed up and I was like “ah, yes”
