I had auditioned for, and been cast in, two previous shows with this company. Like the last time I was told to skip the main auditions and just
show up to the callbacks where we were to read from sides, dance and sing.
I had
deliberately avoided musicals for nearly 20 years because I just don’t care for
them. But I like this company and the people there.
One of
the two parts I read for was the character I most wanted to play. I kinda got
the feeling that one of the directors wanted me to get the role, too, as he
made me do the same scene over with some added direction.
I did
get cast, but not in that role. I was disappointed for about 2 seconds.
