We actually only had one no-show out of fifteen people. We're now fully cast - we're going with someone for the male lead who's good but not completely right, but we're just done trying to get people to see what an opportunity this is. Actors in LA are beyond entitled and not very bright, I'm afraid. I mean you get to create a role in a new musical, appear on its cast album, and forever have your name in the licensed version, and believe me this will be licensed by one of the major houses.
Congrats to finalizing your cast, BK! (even if it's not your ideal cast)
