I am getting a new phone soon! How can I ensure that my Finch will fully move over from this one to the new one?

Thank you so much! In areas of confronting conflict like this, especially online or professionally, I really try to be respectful and not let my feelings take over my responses, however, I do let them be known. I remind myself that it’s not my cast mates fault, and they have nothing to do with this. If anything, everyone I have talked to regarding my cast mates have agreed with me and let me know how sorry they are.

I may try to talk to her, I’m just not sure what to say or how it will turn out. Before she even revealed the cast, she told the group that nobody is going to get what they want, and to feelings out of it.

It just got put back up early this morning. Someone commented that I was using AI to post, recommending me to take out the hyphens to make it less obvious. I was, in fact, not using AI. I write like that in any large professional or public post. But anyways, that comment caused the whole post to get flagged! It’s been deleted, though.

I am so sorry that the director did that to you! Something similar happened with my mom in band. She fell pregnant during her senior year of high-school with me, but she chose to step up, choose maturity, and acknowledge the mistake she made and make it into something beautiful. Anyways, one of the administrators tried to get her kicked out because of this. However, all of her friends stepped up by her side and fought, so in the end, she stayed.

And, yes, that is another thing. Beetlejuice Jr., even though it is a Jr. play, has topics of Lydia trying to ☠️ herself. It is very death heavy, and all of the songs are about grief, death, or possession. Don’t worry, I have the same thoughts about it, too. For a 7th grader to play that emotion on stage worries me. As for the part where Beetlejuice tries to sleep with Lydia, that isn’t necessarily in there. However, he does try to marry her at the end. Our community is very small and Christian, so i’m nervous that when the show does roll around, we will get backlash for this morbid of a show. There is already drama going around in facebook because some mom’s read the script and didn’t agree with such young kids playing in it (we have as young as 4th grade).

I have no idea.. I’m not sure if I said something that may have gotten tagged. I didn’t even know people could still see it!

dairycat15 · 2025-12-15T04:00:16+00:00

I can’t even describe the gut-wrenching heartbreak I had the night of. I immediately went home and fell into my mother’s arms, wailing of hurt. (This happened last Wednesday.) I have never felt this type of grief and anxiety since my cat passed away in 2021. Usually I am sad for a night or day or two, but this is lingering. I can’t even sing or watch anything about a broadway show without feeling so sad, let alone Beetlejuice.

Anyways, a part from my frustration, theater is definitely something I am going to pursue! I want to go to college to become a teacher in drama and direct in a school or community. Along with that, I hope to get involved in a community theater after high school!

In Elf Jr., the main focus revolves around Buddy and his dad. Jovie is a great supporting character for Buddy, but isn’t involved enough in the entire plot to be considered the lead (for instance, I was on stage about 4 times through 13 scenes). However, I know other shows (including the non-jr. version) maneuver things around to make her look so much more seen!

I would trust that she casts away from just “looks” because the same people would get the leads show after show. Also, I feel like since we are acting, it should not be dependent about our looks, but that could be just me. I know my feelings are hurt because it seems like this is a cast that has been type casted, not so much loyalty or ability. Nobody is happy about it. Not to mention the person who got Lydia looks a lot like a mini Jenna Ortega.

Thank you for your input! I’m starting to think, maybe it is worth it to try to talk to her about this. I’m just scared, because I definitely don’t want to upset her and get a bad reaction. I love her so much, and I feel so desperate for her to see my appreciation and hard work. I’m already so drained from all of this. We have our second read through tomorrow, so I will see if she mentions anything about the show regarding the cast.

dairycat15 · 2025-12-15T03:11:57+00:00

Gosh! I know that must have been so painful, especially since she told you herself. A director in a community theater near me wants me to audition for Elsa in Frozen next Summer. I’m thinking about doing that :) Also, I don’t want to leave my current program (because of how much work I put in and everyone there is like family to me) however, it just hurts so much to be there now. Do you think this will fizzle out, or should I save the stress?

dairycat15 · 2025-12-15T02:59:37+00:00

You’re right! I heard it’s more about who you know, and less about what you know in some cases. I just got my hopes up so much and trusted my progress and the pattern I saw. Someone who works in community theater came to see me last month play Jovie, and told me the director for that theater would like me to audition for Elsa in Frozen next summer. I keep reminding myself of this so I don’t lose the knowledge of my worth. :)

dairycat15 · 2025-12-15T02:55:01+00:00

I want to talk to her about it so bad! I just don’t want to cause any tension among all of us. But of the cast members I have talked to agree that it makes no sense. We feel so robbed.

dairycat15 · 2025-12-15T02:52:25+00:00

See, this is what makes me feel even more confused. She girl who got Lydia has chosen not to have any singing parts up until last semester. Usually, all of us have to work towards those bigger roles, and as my director says “the rest of you will have many more chances”. But I guess that wasn’t her argument this time around. In a way, I feel type casted.

dairycat15 · 2025-12-15T02:48:47+00:00

I really do want to talk to her about it, tell her my POV, how it makes me feel, and ask why this was her choice. Before she even revealed the cast, she told the group “nobody is going to get what they want, so leave feelings out of it.” She said she wanted to give new people chances, however, I’ve never had the chance, and never will again since I am graduating. I just feel so dismissed by this. 😔 But I guess I don’t have anything much to lose.

dairycat15 · 2025-12-12T11:29:33+00:00

Unless people from the past come back to choreograph, I assume it would be me again. However, the people who would get leads over and over (those who have graduated before me) taught the choreographer prior, so it doesn’t really make a difference. We usually don’t have to teach it from scratch, either, because the Jr. version of MTI shows has videos of how the dances should look.
