Since I had some free time, I got my singer audition hat on and breezed into Equity Principal Auditions for Jersey Boys on Broadway and the equity tour of Anything Goes. I'm pleasantly surprised to say I was signed up and singing and saying good bye in a total of ten minutes at each call!
"Get Happy" is my new favorite go to, and I find it especially therapeutic to sing on days like today (so gloomy and humid and threatening of rain in new york, ya'll!). I even got a genuine smile-giggle-laugh combination and a "Great selection; Wonderful job!" from the Anything Goes casting associate.
I heard a girl at another audition say that offers were already out for the dancer roles, and the main female roles are cast, but I can't say it didn't feel great to get some positive feedback on singer material that I've been working!
I'm also pretty happy about my part time jobs. I certainly never thought I'd do anything as liberating as what I've been up to over the past year and a half, but I must say I'm grateful to be working with/teaching children. Such natural enthusiasm and quirk!
One of my twelve year olds just told me that she had been practicing singing happy birthday to me in farts, because her throat was hurting. Oh the creativity and imagination!
