In "Tall Girl 2," we get to see you act out the musical production "Bye Bye Birdie" on stage. Did you both see the show before you started filming?

Ava: I did ... It's so good. I loved it. When I watched it, I was so excited to do it, but I was also like, "I can't sing that high, so I hope that we can figure that out." [Laughs] It's amazing, and the storyline is great. I wish that we had the length of a movie to be able to do the entire musical in it, but that's not what the movie really was about, so that's okay.

Anjelika: I hadn't seen it before we filmed, but I did watch it after, and I was like, "Oh, got it," because I needed to know, like — I was watching them dance and hearing all the songs and like, "I gotta watch this. What in the world?" But you know what, Ava? When they do a live-action "Bye Bye Birdie..." [Points at Ava]

Ava: Oh, my goodness. That would be so fun.

Anjelika: You're top choice.

Ava: Wait. Why didn't I think of that before? I agree. That would be great.

Ava, were you excited as a "Dance Moms" alum to be able to dance in "Tall Girl 2," and how did you prepare for the routines?

Ava: Yeah, it was amazing. I have only dreamed of being able to dance and act and sing in one project, and the fact that it was "Tall Girl" really surprised me. [Laughs] It's super exciting.

Preparing for it, I still dance and train, because I love it. Keeping that up is always something that's really important to me, but our choreographer [Maya Taylor] that was on it for "Tall Girl" was so incredible. We started rehearsals before we started filming and constantly had rehearsals throughout.

The other dancers that were there were amazing and [so were] our extras, so we got to hang out and sit with the dancers all the time. It was a great preparation process and everyone was such a hard worker, so it was great ... I also lived my theater dreams in this movie, because I had never done it before, so it was very hard.

Anjelika: You have to do that. You're going to. You're so good at it.

Ava: Thank you.
