Audition for Dreamgirls/Sweeney Todd at Chelsea

by

Yep, that’s where I was today! I woke up at 6am with everything ready to head straight to Chelsea … only to discover that my suitcase holding all my crap was broken! Oy! I had to switch my heavy load and lost about 15 minutes. I arrived around 7:15am and ended up at number 45ish. Crazy, right? Well, in the nonunion world, that is the B.S. I have to deal with. I refuse to get up earlier than 6am, so getting the the audition building at 7am is the best I can do. I need my sleep. The audition itself was moving very slowly. Not a good thing. 50 minutes into the audition, they had only seen 24 people. That is not good. I don’t get it. When I went in to sing, it all seemed to have a flow. … it was just a slow moving process. I must say something about the pianist. I love him! I would be a happy girl if he was there at every audition. He really followed me and I truly appreciated it. Not many/most pianist do not do that. And the people behind the table? Super nice. One person, leaned forward with a huge, welcoming smile on his face before I even sang. I felt great about my song. I was in the moment and went for it. Though I wasn’t called back, I walked out of the room feeling super great about myself.

    Just because you have worked at a wonderful theatre once or even more than once, you can never assume that you will be cast automatically. It is an unfortunate truth, however, it is the truth. You [...]
