Lillias White was not in the original cast ... she eventually replaced Kecia Lewis-Evans as Asaka, Mother of the Earth. Both actresses are fantastic, but Kecia created the part and is heard ont the cast album.
She really does deserve a tony for this. I for one know how hard it is to dance and sing this songgg..omg!! they mixed the sogns in though, because the part that timoune did isnt untill after asaka finishs
No name. It's a little girl who is scared by a storm. The villagers tell her the story to calm her. She also plays young Ti Moune for part of "We Dance".
In my opinion, Asaka should have gotten a Tony nomination as well as Mama. Ti Moune is one of the weaker female roles in the show. The monologue that Asaka has in the end about, "And the gods cried..." gets me everytime, you need a powerful actress. And Mama has to sing, "A Part of Us." Andrea is even more of a badass than Ti Moune.
@briaja13 that bit of the song that she sings is still in the show, just not at that part...its actually sung at the end of Mama Will Provide and before Some Say...its Waiting for Life Reprise
Oh man my school Once on this island.....good times.....good times.....(I can't believe it's only been 5 days since it was over it feels more like 5 months).

The Tony's are so much bigger and glitzier these days. That looks like such a little and ordinary stage. I like it.

@violinrox24 The actors formed most of the set, like the trees, etc. That's how it's supposed to be done.
