It’s not going to happen.”He proceeds to shake hands with the cast members and ask them who they’re playing. He goes down on his knees before the boy playing Aaron: Both say they’re honored to meet one another.Bennett then does a Q&A with the cast.
The young woman playing Cady (originally played by Lindsay Lohan), asks him how best to overcome performance nerves.Bennett takes her hand and tells her, “You’re going to be great.
It’s not up to you to worry about what Lindsay did or what people on Broadway did. It’s about you doing what you want to do.”He also reminds her that many of the people coming to see the show already love the movie and that works in their favor.Bennett watched the rehearsal and praised the hard-working young cast.
