thats kind of sad... My friends and I would have made the trip to audition if we knew... just for the experience, I doubt we would have made it, but that's ok lol

I was gonna go to the chorus call...wow, only 200 girls? Not bad...maybe I'll go sometime this week. And I also will NOT be singing "Defying Gravity"...hahaha. Who in their right mind would sing that for a BEACH BOYS type of musical? It's not even close to being similar styles, haha.

HAHA, I read that too. There was a non-Equity call on Saturday and I think that one also requested that they show up in beach party attire since the second act takes place in California, and to wear bathing suits, no make up, etc, but no surfboards. That'll be interesting.

I wish I knew about this earlier...I really would have liked to audition.

do you know where the auditions for GOOD VIBRATIONS will be? I'd really appreciate knowing.
also, is it equity/non-equity?

Anybody go yesterday?

My daughter auditioned on 9/11, and had a great time. She said
if was so fun and she is waiting.... With rehearsals set to start in a few weeks you would think that cast announcements
would be soon.

Sunset, Did your daughter say if any of the leads were there on Saturday?

My daughter did not think any of the leads were at the audition. The guy who taught the dance combinations looked
familiar to her, as she thought she had taken a master class,
or convention class from him in the past, but not sure.

that makes sense they have diff. casting calls for diff. roles!

when in the heck will we know! oh well..

u all in NY have way more selection to go to the theater then we do out west! but i think it is more expensive in Ny though not sure!

That's probably true. Rehearsals start in mid to late October.

True, but producers want the $$$ and hope that the advance buzz will generate sales.
