YAY!!!

Hey Everyone!!

So as promised, i'm going to update you guys about the outcome of my "Urinetown" audition! the first audition went really well, and i ended up getting a callback for one of the leads, Penelope Pennywise to be exact. you have no idea how excited i was about being considered for any role, especially a lead!!

For the callback, the director had us read some scenes from "Urinetown" for each specific character we were called back for. i was only called back for Pennywise, so i put my all into it! i even dressed up like Pennywise would. The reading went really well, so now came the waiting. luckily, we only had to wait one day for the cast list to come out!

So the day the cast list came out, everyone was nervous. you could just tell everyone just wanted to see that piece of paper! the director waited to post the list til right after school ended, and we were all waiting for him. i didn't want to be one of thoise annoying kids who would badger the director when he went to post the list, so i went to the restroom. when i came back, i saw the director walking out of the building where he posted the cast list. so many people were crowding around the list, so they already knew my fate (i know i'm being dramatic). i walked into the building and pushed past everyone's way. I was the second name on the list. I GOT PENNYWISE!!!!!!!!!! i felt really more relieved than excited at first, and my mom felt the same way when i called to tell her that i got Pennywise. but then the excitement set in, and i'm sure i looked like a fool because i was so excited.

Last week, we finally got our scripts, i highlighted my lines and have already read through the script once. the director told us to read it atleast 3 times, which is what i plan on doing to get a good understanding of the role and the show. we officially start rehearsals next monday, but we're supposed to start music rehearsals this week.

i will try to do another post in a couple of days!!

XOXO
