While I do think it’s much easier for her to get her foot in the door, you can’t deny how awesome this young lady is. She was fantastic in her father’s movies. She was a scene stealer every time!! I would love to go see her in this!!!

These musical theatre folks are so exhausting (and this is coming from a former one) They 💩 on the nepotism like they wouldn’t do the EXACT same thing if their family were famous 🙄

Stop this nonsense.

These 'theater fans' must be new to the industry.

If you have famous parents you can't work? So stupid.

She should have just chosen to be born to different parents. This is all her fault

Page Six always a hater.

So kids of famous people can’t work?

Enough with the attacks on “Nepo Babies” as if someone could give their children a leg up they would not do it. Every parent works so that their children don’t have to go through what they went through and also someone can’t help to the family they are born into

She’s precious and a good actress

Are 'nepo baby' the next target of cancel culture?

I'm literally shaking right now. Could they have not found a BiPOC wheelchair bound queer for this part?
