I’m going to reserve judgement until I hear reviews on GC. I’m sharing the same sceptical thoughts as you all but for all we know, she might surprise us. (Won’t be going to see it myself as I saw an earlier date on the tour). I personally don’t care HOW someone gets a role or what their journey was to get there, as long as they’re good at the job and right for the role. Which is why I don’t have an issue about Carrie’s lack of training or the shortcuts she has had in the industry, I have an issue when she is cast in a role she isn’t right for and isn’t good at, purely based on her social media fame. I also have an issue with the fact she not only doesn’t acknowledge her privilege but denies it. If she was good, it wouldn’t matter how she got there, but, frankly, she’s not that good. It’s why I wasn’t bothered about Joe Sugg’s stunt/smart casting for Waitress. Because he was actually fantastic, therefore the show was still great. But Carrie, in Heathers in particular, can really bring down the quality of a show by being in it. If GC can play the role well and doesn’t let everyone in the cast and the audience down, fair play to her. She’d better be good.
