On a different note, rehearsal last night was not very good. And I am hoping that I can get ACT TWO well in hand for this evening's rehearsal.

It sounds as if MR BK is having a great time in the Big Apple.

So, last night I went to the second round of call-backs for The Brain From Planet X. Last week at the first call-backs, Josh, the director/music director, had everyone read group scenes (in the two scenes I read, he only had me read for General Mills). We then did some dancing, then singing (I was more familiar with the score than anyone else

). Anyway, I got the impression that I was definitely in the running to be in the chorus, which I would accept, but afterward, I asked if I could be considered for the Brain. He said sure, come back next week. I didn't know if he was planning to have the chorus wanna-bes (meaning, me) come back the next week (last night), but I got the e-mail to come, so I did.

George · « **Reply #20 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:48:54 AM »

We read a few scenes (different than last week...I got to read for the Brain), we all did a lot more dancing, then sang the title song again. Oh...BK, I looked more closely at the chorus book and the vocal score again, and it all looks okay. I think both Josh and I just didn't pay too much attention when looking at the score last week, but it all matches correctly. However, I didn't notice if the vocal lines in the piano score were labeled with who is supposed to sing which notes...men on the D-flat above middle C and the women on the B-flat above that. It looked like the piano score just had the two notes a third apart.

Anyway, we sang through that with everyone. He had people stand and then sing together in smaller groups and variations thereof. Then he said that most people could leave. I was one of six people that he asked to stay behind. He had two people each to sing the first part of "The Plan" for The Brain, Yoni and Zubrick. All six of us sang together to learn it, then he had three of us sing the song (one person on each part), then the other three. Then he switched up the three and we sang through it again. Overall, I felt pretty good about the whole process. Even if I "only" get a chorus part (and Josh has always said that he likes to cast very strong singers/actors for the chorus

), I felt like I had my chance to go for The Brain.
