Back from a very long and somewhat odd callback evening. Most of the show is now cast - the way in which the callbacks occurred was a little odd, but I'm new to this existing theater company, so I just tried to go along with the flow. We have some very good people in the show, but three roles remain uncast at this point - General Mills, The Brain, and the Narrator/Professor Leder. Our new Zubrick is very different than our last Zubrick, but he gave a very funny reading and I think he'll do just fine - physically this guy is the complete opposite of our last Zubrick. Couldn't be happier with our Fred, and I waffled back and forth between two Joyces, but settled on the one who gave the best reading. Yoni also gave a good reading and my memory is she had a good voice. I'm not normally this fast when I cast - I'd have like to have heard a few people sing again, but I'm sure it will all work out fine. There were two possibles for Donna - both gave good readings, but I opted for the gal who's very close to Donna's age (16), plus she had a great voice and great energy. I wish I could find something for the other Donna candidate, as she's really terrific. The Rod is great.
