Auditioning for the Stardust Diner tomorrow!

Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going in to sing my heart out and hopefully get the job! First went when I was 5 with my family and I turned to my parents and said, "I wanna work her when I grow up!" (My mother tells the story to our waiter everytime we go in. So embarassing.) So, now that I've turned 18, I've decided to go for it and see if my old dream job comes true.

Hoping you'll all send me good luck vibes!

(After the audition, heading over to The Pillowman to try and get a student priced ticket. If not lucky, I'll go out for 'Chitty' to support Raul. I'll post a review!)

I'll be sure to let you all know what comes of it!

Stephanie, I felt so fancy when I started saying "Break Legs," instead of "Break a leg," thinking that I came up with something fun and new. Damn you! hehe Just kidding. Anyway, break legs (damn you steph) and have FUN! If you get the job, let me know, so I can take advantage of your discount What are you singing?

I'm sure you'll knock 'em dead trashie! I love the Stardust and try to hit it everytime I'm in town! Yes, I'm one of those annoying tourists!

I took my boyfriend for his first visit and whenever the place is mentioned he thinks for a moment and says "Ah yes, the $15 patty melt!"

I'll be singing "When I Look At You" - The Scarlet Pimpernel.

It's Wildhorn, and while I don't really feel like supporting him after the bullsh*t he pulled with the DRACULA recording, it's my best song. Granted, it's a woman's song, but it's out of the context of the show AND Percy reprises half of it later in the show anyway.

And thanks for all the wishes for leg-breaking! And erm, can't promise any discounts if I get the job, but I'm hoping you'll all stop in anyway!

I'm so nervous. I actually don't know how it works. They said to bring a theater resume, a work resume, a headshot, a karaoke cd with the song I'll be singing and myself. Am I singing in front of all the patrons or do they take me in a private room? God, I'm nervous!

Break a leg... preferably not your own.

Heck, break two, for good measure.

Ooh that would be so cool if you just auditioned in the restaurant but I doubt that happens, because they probably have some pretty bad people audition.

[Gothampc]

Posted: 5/24/05 at 1:32pm

Uh oh. It's too late now, but I would change the audition song. Ellen's has a 1950's diner theme. You should have sang an uptempo song from that era. "Goody, Goody" comes to mind.

[cathyhyatt]

Posted: 5/24/05 at 1:35pm

I've been to Ellen's before and people sing other songs besides ones from the 50s. I think it's fine because they just want to see if you can sing. If you do get the job they can let you know which songs they would perfer(be it from the 50s or not).

I was one of the opening waiters when they moved next door to the WinterGarden. Ah, the memories! Some great, some not so great. I remember having to scoop buckets of cole slaw into little paper bowls with my bare hands. I did make some of my best friends there, though. Being a singer waiter...nothing I EVER want to do again, but definitely a memorable time in my life. Best of luck.
