Audition for “West Side Story”
Man, I love this show. I love the music, the plot, … all that it is about. At the equity audition today, I felt like I stepped into a piece of heaven. I got to wear one of my new audition dance dresses and felt like I presented myself very professionally as look goes. The dance was from a part of “America.” Will I ever get sick of this dance? I think not. The pianist didn’t have to play much for me to feel right at home with the dance. I made a mistake in the same freakin annoying spot the two times I did it. Luckily, according to my friend, he was looking away the two times I made that particular mistake. I was not asked to stay, however, with the exception of my flub, I was very happy with what I gave at the audition. It is hard to leave an audition feeling like this - like I nailed it … even if that means I will not get the job. I can only do so much. The rest is completely up to the casting director. The friend of mine who was at the audition as well kicked some major butt. I was sad to see that she did not get called back. Once again, it is not in her control. All she can do is dance …
