Good Afternoon!
I had a positively groovy morning at Ripley-Grier playing disco songs for a few hours. And there were some amazing singers called in, including BK's beloved, and our very own, Juliana Hansen. -And, I have to say, she looked stunning! S-t-u-n-n-i-n-g! A great dress, and legs for days!
*And, DR Jrand - Lisa Brescia also came in. -And she was also at the Evita call I played last week - and I meant to tell you that last week.
After the auditions were done, and we finished early, I just walked around the studios for a bit. I did notice that Mill Mountain was in the room around the corner from us, but I did not spot DR Ben's ever-lovin' Ant. However, I did run into DR elmore's pal, Joseph Kolinksi, as well as my friend, Anne Kanengeiser - always a pleasure to see her. She played Fosca when I did Passion, and she was Eleanor Roosevelt when I played Eleanor: An American Love Story at Ford's Theatre.
...And I even hung out for a little bit again listening to the cast of Sweeney Todd - or Teeny-Tiny Sweeney as it is being called (as opposed to the Roundabout's just Teeney Sweeney - through the door. I have to say, the actors/singers/instrumentalists have great intonation.
Then when I grabbed lunch downstairs, I ran into the casting director from Arena Stage - which was a good thing, since I was still trying to confirm the schedule for the final set of Damn Yankees auditions next week.
Oh...
BK - Juliana sends her love. <mwah>
