Got the video from the last guy, who then made the bad mistake of emailing me right after he sent it, telling me he didn't really know what it was for (I'm pretty sure the gal who recruited him told him about the show) and that he needed more information about how we were going to use "his work" - I kid you not, folks - "his work." And he said his manager would be in touch. Said manager was copied. I responded instantly with a history of the shows, whose been in them, who they're talking to (me) and what the online shows are benefitting and who the cast is for this show. I also said VERY strongly, that if there were ANY issues that I needed to know right now because we're starting to put this together. Well, right now was an hour ago. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure this fellow was part of the Sterling's singing contest and that I judged him. I also looked at his resume, which is all college productions and NOTHING else. And in a nutshell, this is what's wrong with this generation of performers. The entitlement is breathtaking. This neophyte has a MANAGER? And I'm supposed to deal with the MANAGER? Funny, I'm not dealing with Emily Skinner's manager or Christiane Noll's manager or Liz Callaway's manager and funny I didn't deal with Lauren Bacall's manager or Elaine Stritch's manager or Dorothy Loudon's manager. So, if they haven't responded by nine, they're out and I will have to write another e-mail about the why of that and why it's not a good idea at the beginning of a career to piss off someone who can actually help them.
