Tianna is a "Broadway Veteran"? hmmm.
Anyway, Great for her, glad she is getting another chance. I wonder how this came to be. I wouldnt exactly call her famous, and it seems like she didnt have to audition. And she definitely isnt from virginia. interesting.

So 15 year old girls have to be 4'10"? And I thought Tianna got too tall to play Annie.

I dont think that Tianna got to tall to play annie, at least that isnt why she stopped touring last year. Was that what you meant? If so, im pretty sure it wasnt because of her height. Tall or not, congrats to her!

Beckie:
I am pretty sure that the orphans will be cast with local kids in Virginia. They would probably not cast kids from audition videos for a local production when there are plenty of kids nearby who will likely audition. As for Tianna, perhaps she knows the director and was offered the role, regardless of her height. It happens all of the time.

Awesome for her! We loved our experience at Tuacahn when Grace played Annie after the tour. She will probably be able to bring the family for the summer and you are in one place for the entire time. I understand why she would be interested in this experience! Touring is tough on the family! Spending the summer in Virginia would be so much FUN. Too bad Grace over 5 ft.

There is something about Tiannas voice that I just really love. I thought that about the videos and sound clips that were on her site before she started playing Annie too. I think her voice is great. Madison was already Annie by the time I saw the tour so I cant comment on how she was in role, but there are certainly more aspects to playing Annie than singing, so who knows.
I will say that, from this video, she seems pretty old looking (like maybe too old to play annie?). But that may just be the strapless dress, straightened hair etc. I dont think it matters all that much though. I am sure she will still make a believable kid and i'm glad she is getting another chance at annie. Ive always thought size and look was considered too much for annie/the orphans anyways.Kids come in all shapes and sizes.
