Auditions

by thespian @ 2008-02-25 - 20:05:50

Anyway, I don't like to tell tales, but the best bit was when this woman auditioned for the glamorous and sexy female lead.
She looked like she had a gob full of sour sweets.
And I wouldn't say she was ugly, but the mice were throwing themselves onto the traps.

And she'd written her own speech for the audition.

And you could tell she was desperate to get the part.

And I'm so happy because now I know she didn't get it, which means I won't have to kiss her on stage (and god knows how many times in rehearsals.)

But the even better bit is that she doesn't know this yet.
We're all meeting up on Wednesday night to be told what parts we have (except for Smug Thespian who already knows he's a star!).
And I can't wait to see her face.

Could she look any more sour and miserable?
We'll soon find out!

OOOOh, I feel sorry for her. Still, she might surprize you and laugh like a drain with relief when she realises that she is perfectly cast as Mrs Schill. (You did know that the modern versions have an intimate bedroom scene involving you, your stage wife and the Burgomaster?)

What a horrible thought.

who needs a play when you've got the drama of auditions and rehearsals.

That's a good comment, and there is a lot of truth in it.
The run-up is almost as enjoyable and dramatic as the play itself.

Sounds like a drama in itself!

Not quite as handsome as that, I shouldn't think!

Just count your lucky stars you don't have to spend the next few months snogging her sour face off

I do, I do!
Of course, I'm being completely unfair, but that's part of the fun isn't it?!

I can't be certain but it sounds a bit like the sort of stuff Les Dawson used to say - though I am going back a bit now!
