Auditions for non-union regional theatre have been hot messes (did anyone attend that ridiculous call for the Millbrook Playhouse this past Sat?).
So, I can't even imagine what a non-union open call for a Broadway revival will unleash; I'm gonna pass because I won't get there at 2am to sign in. :-P
Open calls have been absolutely crazy lately--I was #130 at the Surlight auditions last Tuesday, and I got there at 6:45. I picture people camping out overnight for this one. Best of luck to everyone who goes!
they clearly stated that the BBB people will NOT be honoring an unofficial list...and since it's carnahan, I expect like the Spring Awakening auditions, he will type out and not waste his time or anyone elses.
Surflight was ridiculous...I was up at 4:00 to sign in on the last day and vow to never do that again. Absolutely insane.
The Millbrook audition was intense, but part of the biggest problem with it was that it was poorly run.
BBB isn't honoring the unoficial list and you have to sign in before 11. After that they're closing the list. Hopefully they'll type and make it easier for everyone.
As for a song my first instinct was to go with something like "I Can See It" from Fantasticks or something along those lines...haven't made a decision yet, though. Break a leg!
I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

I might go, I turned down auditioning for '13' which is now a big regret of mine, I don't think I'm gonna let another chance slip away.
I planned on singing "Soon It's Gonna Rain" from The Fatasticks. I've been practicing it for a few months for a competition on Wednesday. What do you guys think?
