Audition results

Music Man auditions were on Tuesday. It was actually a pretty nervewracking experience for me. Not only was it the first PTA Play I ever auditioned for but it was the first musical I auditioned for since Apple Tree my sophomore year at NEC. I learned my lesson from the mistake I made with my Apple Tree Audtion and didn't sing a pop song

Result: I GOT IN SO EXCITED!! :)

Today I got some posters in the mail from someone who found my post on Broadwayspace six months ago. For the most part they were in good shape though two of the frames got broken

I now have posters from the following shows
Hairspray autographed by the cast
Annie Get Your Gun (revival with Bernadette Peters) signed by the cast
Chicago recent revival signed by the cast
Music Man autographed by the cast also got a playbill signed by the cast (which could potentially be my good luck charms for my audition tomorrow for the PTA play)
Victor Victoria also got a playbill
The Lion King autographed


Thank goodness for random people who find my posts on Broadwayspace. What a lovely belated Chrstmas gift!

Auditon Songs and Princess K.I,.M

So after much thought I have decided it would be more sensible to sing a song from Music Man for the audition I have a week from today for the PTA play. I must admit I am very nervous about my audition. This is my first audition for a musical I've had since I auditoned for Tge Apple Tree sophomore year at NEC. I still have sheet music for Somewhere That's Green fron Little Shop but I'm sure that will come in handy for something else sonewhere down the line.


Today was the second meeting to discuss the Princess K.I.M play. Right now we are still in th early early stages of writing the script and developing the character. Andrew is already starting to brainstorm ideas for songs and I can't wait to hear them the next time we meet. :) This all so exciting. I haven't been so excited about something like this since I assitant directed Bravery Soup at NLBP 3 years ago. More on this as things develop. We don't even know exact show dates yet.. maybe next fall maybe spring of 2012 SO very exciting. Something to look contiously foward to throughout the new year

Happy New Year everyone!

Broadwaysecret of the week

Wish this picture was a bit bigger. I would have to say that I agree with 110% with the person who posted this secret on broadwaysecrets. The fact that so many people are getting injured in the Spiderman cast does not exactly make for good publicity especially when injuries suffered are as bad as the ones that this poor guy suffered. He's from Portsmouth so I saw a story about him on WMUR the other day. I hope his has a speedy recovery. As far as the show goes I like the poster who posted the secret don't wish ill will on any actors to lose their jobs but if so many people in the cast are getting hurt then I think the show should be shut down. Last I heard they were upping the saftey precautions but I wonder how much good that will do now since so many people have already gotten hurt.
