I think we should do auditions like my highschool does it, people try out for parts, then at the end of rehearsels you get an email about which part you get, most people didnt even try out for that part but they would be good at it even though they didnt try for it. I think that way works well. So you can arrange people however you like. Instead of how the people trying out want it.
I agree. I was recently in a show where I got a part I probably never would have auditioned for. However, it was so much fun! It works that way with a lot of people who try out for things; they don't always know what is best for them. It takes an outside opinion more often than not.
I do believe that's what we're doing. Arqueete said that those who were already casted will still be cast, though it may not be the same part they had. Also, those who audition on Monday may not get the part they audition for. It all depends on what parts we need to fill and we think the person would do in the role. We do take into consideration what you would like to do, naturally, and that plays a part as well. We do discuss it quite a bit, so don't fret.

In the past, you see, we barely had enough to fill one full cast, let alone two (since we like to have alternates). So then it really wasn't an issue, and we could generally give people the part they wanted. In many cases they wound up with two roles and they switched off. We've had to update our system due to the popularity of Wicked, and it really is a fantastic thing.

Thanks to all of you who have so much interest. This casting drama is just evidence that our little theatre company is doing the incredible and taking off, even when we're stuck in a low-traffic forum. XD
