Hmmm, does this mean they will likely go with unknowns for these parts?

DramaDork925- You look like a Tracy! But I'd have to hear you sing to make up my mind.

But, I hope they lean towards Shannon Durig, since I know her.

Renthead... you must've missed my lovely BWW Idol clip... lol. I've been called back for the role before so you never know...

I'm weird, but I'm so excited they said "extremely overweight". Most of the Tracy's are in the slightly to moderatly chubby range, hardly close to fat. As talented as they are, I think the fatter girls sometimes get left out of the loop. For roles in any performing arts arena, even now, Opera.

It's time a actual fat girl had a chance at the role. The closest they've had was MJW, and she still wasn't quite a Ricki Lake.

I'm sure whomever they pick will be awesome though.

i totally agree with you. it really isn't fair when they cast girls who have to wear fat suits. i mean, this role is like any character actress role's dream since we can't play thetypical ingenue roles. (sigh)

No fair! I'm a white boy in my 20s. Where are the Link and Corny Collins auditions?! I want in!

ya know, i dont think it would hurt to send in a headshot and resume in anyway regardless of fitting the character description or not. i mean ya never know what they are looking for. they could be looking to pull some people in the ensembles and stuff. i dont know, what do y'all think.

I'm not nearly "extremely overweight" but I'm short and chubby and figure it's worth a shot.

Posted: 1/21/06 at 10:44pm

me too girl, i don't think i'm like obese or anything. but yeah go for it. just sent mine in yay!! exciting!

[DramaDork925]

Posted: 1/21/06 at 10:46pm

If you guys get in, you'll have to autograph every single thing I own.

Hell, you should start now.

:) Good luck!

Go for it girls! I would totally do it. Tracy is one of my dream roles! Too bad I'm technically too old, boo! Nobody thinks I am my real age anyway. Oh well you guys go for it for all cute and curvy girls everywhere!:)

If you don't get cast then I will seem like a SERIOUS bww stalker.

I only ask that you do not sign my underwear. That I am saving for Anthony Rapp.

... Just kidding. You can sign my underwear as much as you like.
