missroseroseYes, my audition was today. Interestingly enough, even though I'd been practicing "If You Got It, Flaunt It" more or less continuously, PJ had me sing "I Don't Know How To Love Him" - probably because David Paul already knew the piano part. In an odd kind of way, I think it probably worked out for the better - not having practiced it and gotten all worked up about it, it was easier to find a genuine place to sing from.
Do I have a chance at the lead part? I'm not sure. On the one hand, there are probably lots of other singers with longer stints at Perseverance that'd have a better chance - and, of course, it's practically a law of physics that there's always someone better than you. There also seems to be a bit of a hiccup going on with licensing stuff, too, so they're not entirely sure they're going to be able to do JCSS at all. On the other hand, PJ told me straight out that the only person they had planned in advance was Rory Stitt (which, after the phenomenal job he did as Hedwig, was pretty much a given anyway) for the role of Judas, and he seemed really happy that I was auditioning - he told me he was glad I wasn't in school anymore so I had time for theatre. So I dunno. I just told him straight out that I'd love to sing the part of Mary Magdalene, given that this has been one of my favorite productions for years.
I guess all I can really say with certainty is that even if I'm not the best singer or dancer, if I get the role, I'm going to give it all I've got. And then some. Brian's just going to have to live without me for a couple of months. =D
(Incidentally, even if I'm not in the show at all, I really hope they're able to work out the licensing issues - I would (and will!) pay good money to see Rory singing Judas' role. But it'd be even more fun to work with him. =)
The rest of the day was an awful lot of fun, too - it's been gloriously sunny and gorgeous out the last couple of days, and is slated to continue so until Tuesday. Today was also Family Fish Day down at Twin Lake, so Brian and I wandered down there and sat on the grass and ate fifty-cent hotdogs and sodas and cotton candy. (We thought about fishing but figured that if we caught any we wouldn't know what to do with them.) It was the first time in years that I've had a chance to just sit on the grass and soak up some sun - sunny days are pretty few and far between where I've been living the last several years. It was also the first time in a while I've gotten to roll down a hill and get my clothes thoroughly grassy. Ah, lost youth...
Anyway, Brian and I are overdue for our midafternoon nap, so we're just going to go curl up for a while now...
