Kenley from Project Runway in "Grease"?

Posted: 9/27/08 at 5:32pm

I went to a cattle call today for the Grease national tour with a friend, and there were about 400 people signed-up. Anyways, Kenley from the newest Project Runway was there with headshot/resume in hand. Who knew she was an actress? It seemed weird. I guess she doesn't win? It seems like she could have pushed her 15 min of fame and go a better type of audition, but whatever.

Oh please, she should be the costume designer.

She'd never get cast, but if she did, she'd probably just laugh at everyone (in that snarky Kenley way) and get fired within the first week of her run for being rude to her superiors and co-stars.

I think its pretty obvious that she's not gonna even make it to Bryant Park, let alone win the competition. I used to like her in the beginning but she's become more of a bitch as the show goes on. And this past episode where she was talking back to Tim...no way, he butt should have been sent home! I can't imagine her being in an ensemble of a show...but she would be a good costume designer provided its a show based in the 40s/50s.

It's easy to forget that people on reality TV shows at real people. I ran into one of the Top Design people in the produce section of my grocery store in Brooklyn. It was definitely a double take moment.

Never recognized anyone at an audition from TV show, expect for a couple of people who were on So You Think You Can Dance. Shame that great show can't get its amazing talent real jobs anywhere except for Neil Haskell.

Givesmevoice, they had all 6 contestants showing at Bryant Park so there wouldn't be spoilers. Joe and Suede showed too and they were eliminated the past 2 weeks.

RentBoy,

I was there today too and it was a madhouse! I've never seen people scream at the Casting Assistants like that. I was a little annoyed when they decided to start typing. Also, one girl I was talking too had a friend in the show and said all they were looking for was Danny, Doody, and a Sandy and Marty cover. Needless to say, I was a little annoyed. How did you do?

yes, I knew that. I guess I meant that there is still a chance that Kenley made it to the finals.

Are you sure it was Kenley? I don't mean to call you stupid, but I would imagine that given Kenley's look, a lot of people going to Grease auditions would dress similarly.

I hate Kenley, but I could see her playing Patty Simcox.

I don't know for sure whether she made it to Bryant Park (officially, as in being the top 3) but given her overall attitude on the show as of late, her repeated poor performance and inability to take direction or criticism, I don't see her making it. I think this coming episode might be the one where she finally gets taken out. I personally thought that she was going to get the axe this week but it turned out to be Suede. Hell she might win the damn thing for all I know but I feel its gonna be either Leanne or Korto who takes it all. I don't think Kinley's untalented, she's great at what she does, but when its ALL you ever do I don't think it will be enough to win.

It's kind of bs that they give her such a hard time for sticking to one look when Christian won last year for doing the same thing over and over. Same with Rami.

She's good at what she does.

And "??" - I got typed out. It makes sense now, if those are the only parts they were looking for. I'm not type for any of those. No harm done.

And Scott, I'm pretty much positive. I mean, she had the haircut, and the laugh. I got close so I could hear her talk and she had that attitude in her words. I just found it odd, as they've mentioned on the show that she is also an actress? I would never have guessed.

do you think she made her own audition outfit?

You mean a black t-shirt and jeans? No. I was actually surprised at the lack of dress at auditions. I always thought you dressed-up, not just wore whatever.
