Echevarria, who auditioned Thursday at Pacific Focus in Honolulu, was a winner on "From Hawaii: Destination Stardom" where she was billed as "Little Mariah Carey" because of her vocal talent.
Echevarria expects to find out this week if she wins this round of auditions for "All That Glitters," produced by Lawrence Mark and directed by Vondie Curtis Hall. Filming will begin in New York City July 3 and has a Christmas 2001 release date.
Echevarria would play the main character, Billie James, as a young girl; Carey plays the adult James.
April Masini, who arranged for Echevarria's audition, had called the head of casting at Columbia, then sent Echevarria's "Destination" footage.
"I was stunned and thrilled when I received April's call," said Kim Au, Echevarria's mother. "Tatiana is excited, too ... but ... doesn't want to set herself up for disappointment in case she doesn't get the role. ... She'll believe it when she signs a contract."
Tickets are $18.50 in advance; $22.50 at the door, available at Ticket Plus locations and by phone at 526-4400.
A VIP mixer, $30, will include food, drinks and an autograph session with the "In Living Color" star.
World Cafe is also welcoming Stevie B. on Saturday. The show starts at 9 p.m. and is open to those 18 and older. Tickets are $15 in advance; $17.50 at the door.
Though the final tally of last month's event at the Sheraton Waikiki is still being made, the symphony has received $370,000, including $340,000 from table sales and $30,000 from an Internet auction.
The Ball attracted 851 people, compared to last year's 601 said Dee Levy, co-chairwoman.
About $20,000 in items not sold in the auction will be put on eBay next month.
