Congratulations everybody, and have fun with it! And good luck to those of you who don't know if you made it or not yet. wink I know how ya feel. I just tried out for the community theatre's production of Hansel & Gretel. Mostly singing and dancing, though there's a few lines for the characters. I'd be singing--and acting--if I got in.
I'm almost positive I've got something. There were seven parts to fill, plus there's supposed to be a chorus of kids, and seeing how the less-skilled people are most likely to end up there, they'll need at four or five kids. Only eleven showed up--two were just little kids--they tried out for dancing too, and they were just so adorable. whee Three were considered adults, four more not counting me were high schoolers, and two more were younger kids. There'd be four left who didn't get main parts, and I'm sure they'd need at least that many for the chorus.
I just don't know what part I got. She's supposed to get back to us either tomorrow or Monday. I tried out for Gretel--it makes no difference, really, it's just who you'd prefer to be. Actually, only one part was for a male--the father. Hansel was specified to be a mezzo-soprano. Only one guy showed up, so I guess that fits.
I'm a terrible judge of who I'm better/worse than, because my confidence is lacking--but I don't think I'm much worse than them, if not as good. It's up to the director to decide what's best. I'd think that the older girls would be better for the mother or the dew fairy than Hansel or Gretel, because they're meant to be little kids. For once I'm thankful for not being tall--I'd have more of a chance at Gretel if I was short rather than if I were tall. whee
Heh... sorry for rambling. I really needed somewhere to spill all that stuff. I feel better now. sweatdrop
