Renita Raycole pulled Jazz from the show immediately and Jennifer Freeman was quickly brought into replace Jazz in the role of Claire.

Kudos to Momma Renita. Not many stage moms would do such a thing. Anybody else on here old enough to remember Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby? ((shudder))
She sounds like a well adjusted young lady. I wish her well.
The thing I find interesting is that many people speculated it was a "color" thing since Jazz was much darker than the current girl in the role. I wonder what that says about us as a people......hummmmmm
