(Lost and Confused [In)to (the Woods)]
Lindahl casting always has its oddities. Every single semester. Ah well...Here's the Narrator/Mysterious Man reporting to you live. I was bitter for about 15 minutes that I didn't get the Baker (congrats to Ben, BTW), but I began telling myself the good stuff and I'm good now. For fun, here they are:
1) I get to practice memorizing lines. I've never had any trouble memorizing music, but the Narrator has a s***load of monologues.
2) I get to keep people on beat. The Narrator does a lot of musical speaking, meaning I can help out and not sit backstage wondering why the F*** these people can't count notes.
3) I get a quick change.
4) I'm in Into the Woods and not Charlie Brown.
5) I get TWO PARTS in Into the Woods.
6) I don't have to pretend I'm shorter than Gretchen.
However, here are the bad things, including pissed off people and my own personal opinions:
PO'ed Ple (or those who deserve better):
Laura Bradley: Stepsister instead of a real part
Stacy Cobb: Dead Mother instead of Rapunzel
Patrick Russem: Schroeder instead of a real part
Melissa Manning: Sally instead of Little Red
Rory Schussler and Mackenzie Martin: both have nothing parts in both plays
Problems:
Clickner will sing...a lot...uuuugggghhhhh (Cinderella's Prince)
So... BRING ON MONDAY AND LET THE DRAMA BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
