An infectiously vivacious person, it was a no-brainer as to why she was cast in such an inspiring role.
Ashley Scott as Mara in a scene from ‘ Disney ’s The Magic Box’. Picture: SuppliedAhead of the recent debut of Disney ’s “The Magic Box” musical in Cape Town , I caught up with Ashley Scott, who has been cast as Mara.
She added: “But during the callback, I was in India busy with an IPL cheerleading contract and missed the in-person auditions. I was fortunate enough to speak to our resident director, and said even if I’m the third tree from the left, I will be happy if they can see me. “It was very, very special. There were tears in the room, there was laughter. I just remember seeing Mickey for the first time and I just was giggling from excitement. It was such nostalgic childhood memories … to see Mickey in person was surreal.”
“Also, our huge set as well. Our rehearsal process was so intense but that is why we are where we are today, which is just incredible.”
