| It's not musical theatre, but I had an audition for Brighton Beach Memoirs tonight, and it went great! Especially considering how unprepared I accidentally was. They never told us we needed a monologue- I found out when I walked in the door and a girl I knew was like, "What monologue are you doing?" Luckily, I knew one well, having done it a lot for a few months for PGSA.
It was a loooong audition. I had expected it to be that long, but only if we were doing scenes. We didn't so scenes- I was slightley devastated, as I've been obsessively reading the scenes for weeks. But actually, my monologue went really well, considering that I hadn't done it for four months. They told us they'd have us do it once, then ask us to do it a different way. I was smack in the middle of the order. They talked to me a bit about my conflicts, and then told me they were going to record my audition. So I did my monologue once. Then they said, "Now do it like you were a cheerleader." I had a lot of fun with it- they laughed a lot, which I guess is good. I was spelling all this stuff, and mostly spelling it wrong, LOL. I even spelled "Jesus" wrong! I hope that them telling me it was the most energetic of auditions is a good thing. It was at least an hour wait until the last person finished, then twenty or thirty minutes more until they came out with the verdict. I was sooo nervous. They read off the names of the people they wanted to see again- and I was one of them! It doesn't mean we're any closer to gettig in- they may already have chosen their Nora, but I kind of doubt it, because the only other character I could play would be Laurie, and I don't physically look like a thirteen year old.
The problem with this callback- and this audition- was that I was missing a major rehearsal to go to it. I've asked the scheduling lady if I can go tomorrow- I really hope she lets me because I want to be Nora sooo badly, and I'm afraid if I don't go, I won't get the part. I hope she'll let me go... I'm only ensemble, after all...
Another audition tomorrow at camp for Alice in Wonderland. |
