why did you refuse it??? maggie has a show stoping part in at the ballet. every role in the whole show is considerd "supporting" go onto play bill.com!!!!
you should do it...its gonna be fun. i wanted you there!!!
also, you put it on your audition card you would take that role. i dont think it is smart to refuse something you told them you would accept. for not going to auditions and still getting a awesome role... i think you were lucky.
everyone is doing the show!!! :( im so sad you are not. ... laurent, travis, brad, robin, ME, jacob... i will miss you :(
i also dont think it is smart to show intrest... not go to auditions but still get a role you asked for then turn it down when other people who did go to the auditions didnt get the role they wanted... think about it!!!

Boo, I think it is all driven by fear. At this stage in the relationship he is afraid of what he is feeling because he may not have felt it before, or he doesn't know how to express it. Insecurity: he may feel stronger than he THINKS you feel. It could be a lot of things, the best to do, is give him time. He'll come around.

Boo,
I also agree with Amber. It's a privilege to recieve a good principle role without having to audition, especially when as many people show up as they did this weekend, and work really hard JUST to get IN, much less get the role they want.

Well, guys, it wasn't an easy decision....but....it is the best decision for me at this time. I talked with Geneva and she said that she agrees with me...it is the best choice AT THIS TIME. Also, a little note that it IS so much time, and we AREN'T MAKING ANY MONEY.....

Not that that is what it's about...obviously we all love performing, duh! But, I really need a break, guys. Please be supportive of that. I think I can afford to take a break.....I believe it takes some bravery to do what I did.....have you ever refused a role???? Well, it is odd, but it is what I needed to do...I have the summer free...I need it.

My boo, I'm not diputing your reasons. I personally have never declined a role, but I'm just saying that for the circumstances it's not going to come across in a positive tone. Just understand that I am not angry with you, and that I love you. It's your decision, and if a break is what you need then that's okay. I guess I'm just disappointed. You know I love working with you, and I'm going to miss you!

i was not being un supportive of your decision i was just telling you to "think about it". i have refused a role but, only when i was offerd something i did not put on my audition sheet.
i understand we make no money...trust me i know. i may live at home but, we have plenty of financial trouble, things were alot better when i was working 50 to 60 hrs. a week and making double what i do now but, i was not happy. i missed theatre. i understand you need a break TRUST ME!!!! all my comment ment was, you were lucky to get cast and maybe you should not have showed intrest at all.
i dont think anyone is not supporting your decision... we just wish things were different because now we have a girl who vocaly can not pull off that role :( .... see you tonight
