Expect the unexpected.
I sort of forgot this critical musical theatre mantra after having so many seamless experiences at equity (union) calls for Broadway shows. Today is the fourth day I have gone to Pearl Studios for South Pacific calls/callbacks. After four days, and a composite 9 hours of waiting, I was seen for about 20 seconds.
Long story short, nothing ran the way it was supposed to. Monitors were apologetic, girls were cranky, boys were jittery and in general everyone - including the casting team - was completely confused and distracted by the fact that there were three auditions going on at once.
This is one of those situations were keeping your wits about you is everything. and WHOMP whomp I certainly lost focus after having the casting director and producer walk in and out of the room as I was singing. Blergh.
Lesson of the day: remember to act the beJESUS out of your song, despite the catastrophe surrounding you.
The show must go on!
