Had the best audition to date yesterday for Gypsy at the Kirkland Performance Center. I drove Bestest Best Friend, so we chilled. When we got there, it was a bunch of kids from Kidstage there, so I got to chat with them about the Kidstage shows and Village and 5th, which is my element. There's nothing like talking theatre folk to calm me down, since it makes me realize that I'm in my element.
When it was my turn to audition, I came in a wave, since I know the director. I went over the music with the pianist, and I was very clear about what I needed. Then I did something you're not supposed to do, and told them how excited I was about Gypsy. I wouldn't have done so, except that the director and I had discussed the show four years ago when we saw it in New York with Bernadette Peters. Anyway, actual audition went well, could've done better, but definitely the best I've done at an audition so far. I left my glasses on the piano accidently, so I had to go back on stage. When I went back they stopped me and asked me to do my Carol Channing impression. Woo for Special Skills! So I felt really confident about everything.
Bestest Best Friend did not feel confident, but I thought she sounded really good. We saw Mrs. Krupke afterword, so that was cool.
Anyway, I got called back for one of the strippers and Louise! Haha! I expected the Strippers, but Louise was a surprise. I rock. Bestest Best Friend was called back for a Hollywood Blondes. I knew she would.
