I am off in a bit to Day Two of auditions. Of course we need a few more men.....we probably have enough women, but someone better may show up.
This is my first time working with this pianist and music/vocal director.....we shall see how this turns out. Of course, as the choreographer, it's not really my place to do much more than add my two cents on the casting.....
For some reason, the director has decided that he needs two actresses to play Amy....one younger and one older......of course he set the age limit at 14, so all of the girls are really basically the same age.....
The girl he is looking at for Jo right now is just not a strong enough actress to carry the show....she is a high school senior, and seems even younger....
Maybe JO will show up tonight.
