My 11 year old daughter is currently one of of 4 actors (they rotate in groups so they’re not performing each night) playing Miltilda in the West End in London. The lead child actors who play Miltilda and Bruce are accommodated in a boarding house (the boarding house is ran and owned by the production company) in London as they come from all over the country. The other child actors who don’t play lead roles have to already live in London so that they can attend the school they we’re already attending.
My daughter wanted to audition for a West end show and was playing Miltilda in the West end before covid when they we’re all Sent home in March 2020. My friend has now started saying that she thinks it’s cruel that I have let my daughter audition for a West end show and let her live in the production company’s boarding house. Would you let your child do it if they wanted? Do you think I am being cruel?
