Okay, I've reread the post and I think I have it figured out now. Future Mama Rose is a girl and did not get the role of Babe because she was too tall for the guy who was cast in the male lead. So she is concluding that the same guy will get cast in the role of Danny (a character name that never entered into your post and caused all the confusion) and therefore she will be too tall to be cast as Sandy. Is that right?
It's like a little puzzle.

Wow, all these schools are very sheltered as people say, but it's weird because my high school is very different. This past year the musical was the Merry Widow and there are some whores in that and a whole storyline about a woman cheating on her husband. Also my high school has done West Side Story, which isn't fun for the whole family but had every show sell out. the play that was done this year too was Pericles (Shakespeare) and half the show is prositution and sex. so whatever, i think a lot of times the censorship depends on the school or the director or the county or something, because there has been some innapropriate shows that have been really good.
damn, she's cool.

The point that the schools seem to be missing is that it's not the content itself--it's the quality of the material that matters. There's nothing wrong with sexual themes or "bad" language if they're being appropriately used in a work of art, either serious (Shakespeare, opera. etc.) or popular (classic Broadway musicals). I also agree that this censorship is particularly silly when kids today see so much worse just turning on the TV set. They (the administrators) seem to look at things in a vacuum, without taking into consideration the intelligence (or lack of) behind them.

agreed totally! Oh and about Shakespeare - my old teacher used to joke about how he was a dirty old man. Almost all if not ALL of his shows have something to do with sexual inuendoes or sex to be blunt. but they are wonderful shows and administrators don't mind shakespear b/c , well he is "SHAKESPEARE", But they are soooooooo picky when it comes to the musical selection. ARGH it frustrates me..haha

You should go out for the role of Louise. I can't wait to see you take it ALL off!
