so ANYWAYS... bubbles forever...
I have an audition at 1:05 in the afternoon, and I'm so fucking nervous that I can't fucking sleep!!! I'm trying otu for the part of Maureen in a traveling production of "Rent"... and it's fucking KILLING me. I have busted my ASS getting ready for this audition, and if I don't get the part... I swear... it's because they're racist against people with short hair... yep... they MADE me cut my hair for "Chicago" so if they discriminate for "Rent", then they can completely BLOW ME.
And I wonder... am I Maureen enough to play Maureen to "the T"? And then I remember... I've played tougher roles... Velma Kelley in "Chicago"... Sally Bowles in "Cabaret"... Florence in "Chess"... Mary Magdalene in "Jesus Christ Superstar"... The Narrator in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreacoat" was harder than me having to play Maureen... yet... I still worry... because that's what you're supposed to do before auditions that are going to decide what you do with the rest of your year...
If I don't make this play... then I'm going to work at Six Flags all summer and fall... and then I'm leaving for the Air Force in November. My recruiter is on stand-by. She said she hopes I make the play, but she hopes I don't because she thinks that I'd make an excellent pilot someday. I would like to think that if I get this part, it's God's way of telling me that I have to keep following this silly dream of Broadway. Hopefully I do keep following my silly dream... because if I don't... then who the Hell is going to best me?
Ok... MAYBE Cara Stokowski... but we have very different voices. And very differnet goals on Broadway... while I'm sure that she'll make it, I'm also pretty sure that I'll never have to audition against her again. Which would be sweet... I don't like auditioning against people that I know... especially people that have pretty much bested me in every fucking show that we've been in together. lol. No hard feelings though... the girl is TALENTED like WHOA. But I'm glad she doesn't know about "Rent"... :wink:
ANYWAYS... I'm freaking out... BADLY... and I'm nervous and stressed out... so... I dunno... maybe you guys can offer some votes of confidence in my abilities... if you've ever heard me sing, that is.
I'll post how I feel about how the audition went when I get back.

p.s. If you haven't seen "Rent" the Movie... SEE IT GOD DAMN IT! because you're missing out on a LOT... including these dashing gentlemen (Adam Pascal-Roger and Anthony Rapp-Mark):
as well as the beautiful ORIGINAL Maureen, Idina Menzel:
