Why is Chilina leaving the tour?
Her voice is butter.

PERFECTION
By far my favorite version of this song, I'm sure Janet will be absolutely perfect in the role!
can’t wait to see what she will do next
i think the only place to go from here is to bring lindsay mendez in to have her sing pretty funny from dogfight
Is she actually Israeli?? As an Israeli myself let me tell you, her accent is AMAZING!! So spot on!
Also, HER VOICE
Her voice is a little lighter than previous Dinas but she’s the most mesmerizing and enchanting I’ve seen on this song.
BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!
Greatness 💯
It is SO FUCKED that this role is NEVER played by an actual Israeli, Middle Eastern, or someone who is even Jewish. If the theater community is trying to promote representation, then you better stick to your word with all cultures. This casting continues to horrify me. It happened in Fiddler and it's happening in the band's visit and no one is blinking an EYE. Janet Dacal is Cuban, she's butchering a proper Israeli accent. I don't care if she was deemed as the most popular or talented compared to every other auditioner, representation MATTERS. There are Jewish women who would kill for this role. This is a role they never thought would be possible to play. This is a role they would dedicate to their ancestors who died because of their own religion. Do you deeply understand how important that would be for a jewish woman? Do you realize how much more deeply this would touch other Middle Eastern people if this character was played by an actual Middle Eastern woman?? Wearing a flowy dress, letting your curls down, and wearing red lipstick doesn't cut it.
