If I was in NYC!! I'm just almost 5'3" and I love to sing!! Come to Oklahoma!!
As someone told me lately: "Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"...
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera!...
I dreamed a dream in time gone bye...
This is the moment! My final test!...
PS. Couldn't choose just one :-)
Do you guys think that any non-"chunky" girls will be typed out? It didn't really say anything about being heavy...just under 5'3" and I know that they use fat suits sometimes. What do ya think?
Actually, the audition notice does say something about being chunky. It says "Must be heavyset." broadwayguy2 just gave the basics, but it does specify being overweight.
It also says not to show up before 1:30pm.
