Well....well....WELL!!!
We had 29 more children last night for a total of 53! And most of them should have stayed home to do their school work. But that's okay. Just time consuming.
There are some callbacks for the children including Liesl with her assortment of Rolfs this evening which I will not have to go to....now that the Captain and Maria are chosen, I think choosing the children will be easier. And seeing them all together will make it obvious.
BUT we didn't have many adult men audition....typical for most of our shows. As we sat there I said: "Well....give me until tomorrow night at the callbacks and I will come in and sing 'How Can Love Survive' for you and then you can decide if you want me to play Max...."
You would have thought I hit the director with a bag of cement. He was determined that another man would play Max.... Well he's okay....but he is from Indiana and has NO idea what Max is or should be. He couldn't even say impresario...never mind spell it. He played Pseudolus and was okay....he played Marcellus Washburn and was okay...and he is a nice guy. But he is NOT Max. Oh well....after a bit, the director said, why don't you play Franz, the butler. And I said.....why don't you find someone else to do that....
So there you are.....another typical production that could have had something (I'm not saying just ME, there were other choices, including the choreographer that could have helped a LOT)....nothing exciting, nothing interesting, nothing much to look at. But at least with the voices, it will be nice to hear.
So of course my suggestion will be the same as Rita's.....with these people, let's do it on the radio.
