Me, I did Cats. The reason I tried out is because I thought I could get a really good part.
Instead I got stuck with Bombalurina.
I am a guy.

Posted: 4/20/06 at 8:15pmHa, ha, a little off topic because it's not a REAL Broadway show, but in 7th grade our directors WROTE a play so that they could include everyone who tried out... The Empire Snacks Back... To go into details about it would insult your intelligence.

WOW. At first I was like "I would kill to have the skills to play Bombalurina." (I saw an amazing performer play her regionally and have so muchrespect for her, I associate that role with talent.)
I was going to get all upset but then. Oh. A guy. I'm sorry!
I did "Bugsy Malone...Jr."

The Fabulous Fable Factory
If you never heard of it, you're lucky. It was a terrible show and the worst part was that the director, musical director and choreographer completely changed the only song in the show that wasn't terrible and turned it into a "hip hop" song, just so I could dance.
I had to rap. One of the worst moments of my life.

Oooh, I was in Cats too and I had fun, but, yeah, it wasn't one of my proudest moments leaping around in a leotard (I am not really a dancer.)
I played Skimbleshanks, the railway cat, the cat of the railway train, but I wanted to be Macavity.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Not a bad show at all, but you know what our chocolate river was? A three and a half foot brown sheet. And our Charlie and Augustus were played by girls. It was soooooooo bad. Thankfully I was a narrator.

The Hobbit.
The show isn't bad, but the fact that the director had to change the script to make it more accurate to the book, and cast 50 small children...

OK, I just remembered another show that I had totally blocked out because it was so awful. It was a made-up children's production called A Night in the Wax Museum, in which three children get stuck in a wax museum and the wax figures came to life.
I played one of the three children and between Cleopatra singing "Razzle Dazzle 'Em" and a white girl playing Susan B. Anthony I figured out that I was in a terrible show. Also, I think Mozart sang "Do a Deer." And somehow we all ended up singing "Under the Sea" from the Little Mermaid, but I can't remember which historical figure that went with.

Posted: 4/20/06 at 11:49pmIn high school, we did a Winnie the Pooh play (and travelled to elementary schools to perform it). I played the part of Gopher. I got it because I was the only one who could whistle and talk at the same time like the character. Egads. I guess I'm not embarrassed any more. :)

The Wizard of Oz
it was my first show, and I and the rest of the munchkins hid behind 2 ft tall houses... I don't think the audience could see us!

It wasn't so bad at the time, It was my first musical ever but now looking back on it, it was pretty bad. But then again, I don't mind so much because I was part of the original cast.

A show that my elementary school did called, FUZZY WATER,
I was in the ensemble, and I actually thought of it as a real Broadway show! We all had to dress up as different flavors of water. I was strawberry. The other scene we were in was when at the end we were stars and the director's daughter was the sun we all circled around.
Ooh...
Another one was called The Enchanted Rose. It was locally written and basically had no plot. An emperor goes out looking for a wife and when he comes back he marries a yellow-rose-turned-woman. I played a dew fairy that transformed the Enchanted Rose. I was about seven.

Posted: 4/21/06 at 5:07pmpemberlee, I am confused. The show does sound embarrassing, but what's wrong with a white girl playing Susan B. Anthony?

Posted: 4/21/06 at 5:15pmOur school decided to put on "Hansel and Gretel". . . .MEXICAN STYLE!!! Needless to say, I played "Pedro" as Hansel was called. And I'm a girl. Nothing that bad, in retrospect, but I get alot of flack at school for it.

Posted: 4/21/06 at 5:36pmAll the shows I did when I was little, from Charlotte's Web (bad, bad memories), to The Granny Awards (don't ask), to How To Eat Like A Child. I wasn't that fond of my theater company's production of City of Angels as well. Good show, but our cast back then had no energy, and everyone just dragged around the stage like they hated the show.
