HaIrSpRaY THE MOVIE AUDITION STORIES — Page 8

you are so sweet! i'm so glad that this has been such a positive message board. it would also make me so happy if someone from this board made it! i have faith in you guys!

withoutlovewithoutyou~that's so exciting that you got called back for penny! that's what i'm hoping will happen with me and you have given me hope because they made it so clear that they are only looking for tracy, seaweed, and lil inez at these calls. anyhoot, i truly hope everything works out with the weather.

Well, I braved the blizzard and went to the callback! Not SO bad because I only live ten blocks from Nola, where they had callbacks, and it was so much fun!! Definitely none of the pressure that was there yesterday, and way more fun.

They called back 15-18 girls for Tracy out of 270 people! Lots of girls were very good...and there were a lot of really good people there for Seaweed, too.

Then I got to play in the snow after with my friend. 8th Ave was pretty much deserted! Sooooo nice and it wasn't even that cold. But now there's just waiting for two months (!!!!) for them to do Chicago auditions and review the tapes...then they are doing screen tests in LA. But if nothing happens, it was still a blast.

Also, agreed with the niceness of this thread! That's why I don't really post here often, most people kinda jump down your throat...but this thread has been so nice! And yesterday at the auditions the girls I met were talking about how all Tracys are nice, haha, because the girls I met were so sweet. So yay for nice people!!! The girls I met at the cb today were really nice too.

sorry about all the questions. i'm on a roll.lol. if by some ondrous miracle i were to be called back, would you recommend singing the same song you did the first day, or another piece?
thanks guys!

I live about 5 hours south of Chicago (in northern KY), but it's close to the same weather here usually. I'd advise just wearing thick jeans, a sweater, and a heavier coat for normal days.

good deal! thanks for the clothing hints. :)
hope to see you there!

haha! i didnt mean to cause confusion about the South and musicals etc! hehe

i'm really glad they arent picky on the typing and seeing everyone! yay!

congrats on everyone who got a call back!! i'm very happy for you guys!!

I origanally acme into the open call to audition for Tracy, because I'm not a really thin girl, and then the asked me to come back and sing and read for Penny. I had to sing part of Without love, and I think I did well, but I'm still shocke dthat they wanted me to sing for Penny... I guess you never know what they are looking for!
Hey who else was at the callbacks around 2pm-ish, cause that's when I was there!
Good luck everyone who is going to Chicago! I send my love

What could it hurt to apply? I think BrightEyed sent in her stuff even though she didn't fit any of the 3 characters, and the casting agents contacted her about auditioning. I say go for it, because you can only gain.

So who's going this weekend and who's totally excited??

I'm going!

Question for sending in pictures. How many should I send, and is it bad if I include a picture that I look good in (lol, sorry), but there are 2 other people in it next to me?

if you get a callback, will they let you know immediately, or will they call you or will they post it later in the evening, or what? need to know what to do in case i were to get a callback if we would need to stay an extra night or whatever.
thanks so much!

Banana: Cool...maybe i"ll see you there! I'm staying the whole weekend so that I can try to get lottery tickets for wicked one of the nights...I'm going by myself too cuz none of my friends can afford it, so that kind of sucks, but hopefully I'll meet a whole bunch of cool new people!
