Have You Played Ethan in The Full Monty?

You're playing Ethan??? How do they audition for that role, specifically? Just curious. Did you have to prove that you live up to Ethan's, shall we say... dimensions?

CATSNY---Just a regular audition. Barring any lighting cue malfunction, I shouldn't have to worry about whether I live up to Ethan's "glimmer" or not...

mallardo--at least the first time he demonstrates it, it should be onstage, and then he keeps attempting it throughout Jeanette's Showbiz Number, and then the director would like him to do it successfully during Michael Jordan's Ball, but he's considering just having the cast flip me, but of course I want to do it for real off of the proscenium. Just want to be able to do it safely.

Run towards your designated wall according to the blocking. And just jump onto it as if the wall was going to catch you. The rest of the time you will probably just run offstage.

Really, I wouldn't worry about it. You won't have to do the trick at all. And the funnier you make the fall, the better. (If that is what the director wants.)
