Audition Update

BUMP

Bump!! Bump!! Any info peps?

Bump!

Nothing guys?

Yes? No? Maybe So?

i was asked to come back and dance at 3 today.

has anyone been asked to come back tomorrow to read?

Welp...time to find a short piece of rope.

Also wondering if anyone was asked to come back tomorrow after dancing!

Anyone?

does anyone have any information about whether people are reading today? don't know if i should give up hope or if they just changed their plans... thanks!

Were any guys asked to come back and dance on Friday afternoon?

Bump

Bump

did they do callbacks for this?

Yes, I had a callback

Bump

Bump! She told me Monday at the callback.

Bump!

bump!

Bump!!

Were offers going out so quickly?

I got an ensemble/cover offer this morning!

Yeah! Congrats. Can u say for what track?

Anyone else hear anything?

Sure, i got an offer for ensemble and Felicia cover!

Bump

BUMP!

BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!

I have a male friend who received an offer (I think for ensemble) today.

Look here!: We need SPECIFICS 'round these parts!! (No offense, alwaysabridesmaid LOL)
If'n you know somebody who was offered somethin' or you yo'self was offered somethin', this ain't the time or place to be SHY! We want 1) to know the good tea, and 2) to be able to congratulate/support those who've achieved a great accomplishment. :)

I know someone that got mamma cover offered yesterday and dance ens track.

did any of the leads in the show get cast yet?

YES Gator has been cast:-)

did gator get cast today?

Is anyone else going back in on Tuesday? I got an email asking if I was available to do so

Yes I know for sure the role of Gator has been cast

has any other roles been cast?

Lame! I thought for sure there'd be further auditons for this. Seems like it's taken Mamma Mia months and Memphis took two days.

Was anyone getting calls late in the day today? I heard that and thought it was a bit weird.

Any word on "Main Street" Male ensemble?

Has Delray or Felicia been cast?

Received an offer yesterday afternoon for Ensemble and Huey u/s

WHOO HOO bblumber!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *happy dance* (which is pretty much me just twerking)

Has Delray or Felicia been cast?

Bummmmmp--curious about this too!

Like someone said earlier, they tend to cast kind of last minute. Their current show closes today so maybe they'll try to finalize the casting for LB soon but I wouldn't be surprised if it's another week or two or even three. Hopefully not though!

Got a call today that I'm on hold. Said they're trying to finalize within the next few days and I should call them if anything else comes up.

I got the same call as TurdCrapley. Yay!!

Do y'all mind my asking what roles you're on hold for or if it's ensemble?

The monitor said he would be calling (not emailing). He said callbacks would be Sat afternoon so I imagine calls will be made by tomorrow night. Hope that helps! :)

Oh, and I don't think cbs were given it because they said the callback would involve movement! :)

^ that was supposed to say "itr" for in the room...darn spell check!!!

Awesome thanks! I always forget to ask, especially at appointment calls like that.

Bump

They said calls would go out tonight but they also have auditions tomorrow so maybe they meant tomorrow. Did anyone else do several songs?

iamplayingme- yes I sang four!

Post when you hear and CBs

Just got a call for a cb tomorrow at 2:00! Break a leg everyone! :)

Just got a CB for tomorrow at 2 as well! Break legs everyone!

Anyone know what this show pays? It's not on backstage posting.

The listing on AA said 600.00/week. But it didn't say anything about haousing, transportation or per diem.

Thanks so much Tinkerbell!

from the callback yesterday, post when you hear of offers!

A male friend just got an offer, not sure which role.

Hmmm... I understand Ed sometimes does his offers in spurts. Who knows though, with such a small cast they may all have gone out. Anyone else?

Has no one heard at all?

Nada. Haven't heard anything.

Angry arms!!

Bump. Seriously, nothing? from anyone?

Bump

Is this the non eq tour being cast by Joy Dewing?

Yup

I am being considered for Donna; the CD Nikki asked me to be available in the next couple of weeks...

MORE callbacks!? Oye. Pass the bourbon.

GKH: So Sophie's should probably be prepared to wait since they can't cast them until they cast Donna. Le siiiiiiigh.

Not necessarily; I was out of town on tour when they held auditions initially, so they asked me to send a tape. I dropped the ball on doing that, but I went to the EPA for Soul Doctor two days ago (on Weds) and Nikki put me on tape in the room as the EPA was so quiet. Then she emailed me that night to ask whether I could meet next week but I am out of town all week! So I'm meeting the creative team week of 5/27. Sorry for the essay and also for holding up this whole process for you gals!

Don't be sorry, I appreciate the info!

@gkh did you hear anything about soul doctor? Sorry to hijack the thread you're just super informative!

ADNY: No, I didn't hear anything about Soul Doctor. I am non-eq so I think casting is keen to have me do the non-eq MM tour and not a B'way show.

Bumping this to high heavens. Wish I had news, though. Alas...

le bump

yes callback for ensemble on tuesday from EPA yesterday

Has anyone revieved a callback for a principal role?

Yeah, any callbacks for principal roles? Just thinking maybe they're really looking since rehearsals start so soon. Break a leg everyone! :-)

Bump

Anyone?

I'm assuming we won't hear anything about Friday's callbacks until Monday... they had to send film to their German producer.

Thanks :)

Bump!

Callback in the room, plus an email confirmation.

It was a total scam.

But what were they scamming? Trying to collect names, phone numbers, and email addresses? For some sort of database?

i dont think it was a "scam"...probably just poor planning and thinking they could do too much

Absolutely a scam for green actors to con email
Addresses

Boxedwine, it was a total scam. Myself and another person called Equity about it. They have no record of a contract with this theatre or of their existence. They also called them numerous times and no one responded. There's another thread with more details on here somewhere, if you wanna check it out.

Well I wanted to give them the benifit of the doubt...but that's just shitty of them to do

Wowww. Thanks for this info and for looking into this company! I was also wondering! That's crazy and now I'm nervous about my email address/info.

From having worked with Disney before, there's about a two week turn around... but that's not always the case!

Best of luck!

They were telling people to come back tomorrow right after their audition

I was at guys call.. Some were asked to dance ITR after singing/sides. After dance however we were all dismissed as a large group! Anyone CB after dancing?

Gotcha I was in the afternoon after that occurred ....

So gimme.... You all in afternoon didn't dance today?

No, we read and sang

Thanks gimme...

I was just about to cut the rope on this one... Perhaps I still have a thread left unless any guys want to cut it by 'fessing up to a CB for tomorrow after sing/sides/dance this am!

I wouldn't get too hung up on this peas.... Without going into much detail... Some of the aspects of this doesn't seem all that together;) best of luck to you!

Any offers gone out?

If any of the final seven girls kept for Gladys/Val get an offer, please post! (since they said they'd be casting so soon) Thanks!!

Curious what the timeline for offers they told the girls in today? And or any guys come back in today?

Bump

Bump anyone today?

Anyone hear anything?

Bump

Bump

Bump?

Im guessing they had callbacks for King Kong and for Diablo Love too?

Callbacks were this week. They said offers/final callback would go out the end of this week. Any offers out?

Went in on Wednesday again to dance. They said more callbacks were going out within the next few days. Haven't heard anything since. Anyone else?

Bump

Bump

i know of an offer for this show

I'm assuming you got the email they sent out a few weeks ago, but they ate no longer doing summer Shakespeares and instead are doing Celtic fairy tales, which we were supposed to email if we were interested. I find the lack of fusing excuse a bit strange, since there are no royalties for Shakespeare and they still need to hire/ pay actors...

Gah, no I never received that email. Thanks for the update.

Gotta say, I've lost my faith in them as a company

I have as well. I understand that funding projects in a down economy can is difficult, but frankly, and I don't mean to start a riot, I don't think they should have auditioned for a season they weren't 100% positive was going to happen. As a lot of us thought we were auditioning for an exciting project and then were kept waiting only to find out its not happening. I will certainly think twice about auditioning for them again.

100% agree Neverneverlad

I agree as well. I get not knowing because of the economy but the very least they could have done was be upfront with us from the get go. We all know that this has been tough for theatres. Give us that courtesy. I'll also have to think very hard about auditioning for them in the future.

I would cut this theatre company some slack. Funding pulled out- I think because they wanted more of an educational program (but do not take my word for it). ADK Shakes held callbacks today for the 2nd round of The Kingship Cycle... they are still planning on doing some summer programming, but additional programs in the fall and spring.

I understand the frustration- I auditioned and "waited" as well. Can't say I wasn't disappointed, but these things happen.

I understand these things do happen, but loosing fundig doesn't really explain why they can't do Shakespeare's, as the bet thing about producing Shakespeare is there are no royalty fees. They will have to hire close to the same amount of actors for the Celtic fairy tales. And this was just the final straw after many disorganized incidents.

Callbacks were last week. I believe they are over now. Please post when you book so I can stop day dreaming about a summer in the Hamptons.

got a call informing me that I am still in the mix and final casting decisions are still being made....calls with offers will be made this week

Bump!

got offer today for one of the courtesans....not sure if all offers have gone out or not....good luck all!!!

Any offers out for Proteans?

bump

Assuming all offers have gone out? I need closure.

Bump

I know they have more appointments on Wednesday, but I'm sure we'll hear something soon! Michael is the most organized.

Bump!

They are having more callbacks tomorrow. Dance callbacks for ensemble as well as more sides reading for some leads.

ensemble offer out

congrats! did you hear by phone or email? and are you male or female?

Bump! Anyone heard anything post-Wednesday appointments?

I am female, and it was by phone!

Is this for the International tour?

Bump?

Bump?

Anyone?

Bump

BUUUUUMP!!

Final callbacks for principals was today. I assume offers will start going out tomorrow...

bump

BUUUUUUMP!

Bump

BUUUUUMP!

Bump

Was the callback on the 13th just for principals? Or were there ensemble called too?

I believe it was only leads yesterday.

BUMP

Bump

BUMP THIS!

bump? anything?

Has ANYONE heard ANYTHING??????

Chances are they'll take their time making offers. They're not pressed for any tight schedule and this audition process has been dragged out.

Principal offers are out.

Anybody heard anything?

is this the same production as the one that had auditions this past weekend? and this was the dance call? or is it a different production?

is this the same production as the one that had auditions this past weekend? and this was the dance call? or is it a different production?

I understand that it was a callback for specific roles and for the ensemble at the Walnut. As of this morning, all roles were open according to the CD. I had my initial audition 2 weeks ago and was called back in today.

Anyone from yesterday hear anything?

Nothing here. CallMe what was your experience like yesterday?

bump... any news? rumor yesterday was that offers for local hires would be going out today or tomorrow

I sang for a role in the morning and then stayed to dance. The dance went well, but I wasn't asked to read... Usually I take that to mean a definite cut, but not all of the roles read, so I am confused haha and just trying to keep hopes up, yet prepare for the worst! What was your experience?

EXACT SAME HERE! So baffled. It sounded like the people who were asked to stay hadn't yet sung for the team. So I didn't leave completely hopeless. But I can't help but feel that NOT reading isn't exactly a good sign.

Bump!

I keep singing "Paciencia y Fe" to myself 😞

Bump!

Has anyone gotten an offer yet, local or otherwise?

bump

bump

too late for another bump?;)

I would assume since they still had more auditions/callbacks today as well as Rock of Ages next week....that it could be a little while. :( But good look and here's hoping!!!

BUMP

I had my audition/callback with NCL months ago and had kinda given up on hearing from them. However, I received an email yesterday evening requesting my availability for the coming year. Hope I hear more soon :)

Bump

They had some appointments early this week and had callbacks for some roles/understudy parts today with the director

Good stuff. Any word on ensemble matters?

Went in Monday for MD. Went in for Diane Paulus today. Going in to dance tomorrow. Not sure how much more we have to do.

mind if I ask which role?

Robbins us Porgy

I'd guess offers are gonna be out soon, so here's a bump for thread life & anyone with a good word

Congrats on the callback! From what I understand it is Carole King's life story as told by Carole King, featuring her music. Listen to Tapestry. She wrote the album right after her husband left her (which is in the show).

Thanks so much! :)

@humana what role? congrats!

Ensemble singer track

are you going in next week?

Did you attend the EPA?

Went to the ECC

Any callbacks from the EPAs?

Would love to know as well! I auditioned for their general auditions in late April. Anyone get a callback or hear anything?

A couple callbacks were given out ITR to read sides later that day. If anyone hears of further callbacks or offers please post!

Good to know, thank you and congrats if you got sides!

I was there in later afternoon and I didn't see or hear of anyone getting sides to read. They were really trying to get everyone in at that point, so might have to do with timing.

Completely normal for them! don't stress!

I have a friend that was at callbacks in LA Tuesday. They were looking at a few male and female dancers. Only around 10 people at that callback. Hopefully we'll hear soon!

Please update if anyone hears anything!

bump

I am assuming it's going to be at least 3 more weeks till those of us who have been put on hold hear anything.

Bump this back to life :)

Seriously! I know the LA auditions are either done, or have only a day or 2 left...THE WAITING IS KILLING ME!

{pours another glass of wine}

This is getting ridiculous

A friend of mine was at the LA callbacks yesterday. There weren't many people at that point so hopefully they're wrapping things up.

Thanks for the update!

Bump.

The wait is killing me. For anything else I would be fine, but since so many of us has been put on "hold" I have an unending sense of hope for this project. Anyone else feeling this way? Just me? Ok, cool, never mind.

BUT SERIOUSLY

Feeling the exact same way! Beyond anxious! Glad I'm not the only one :)

I am right there with ya! The "on hold" has me feeling very optimistic still. And have many of us been put on hold? Only seems like a few of us, really. Unless some people just aren't posting and saying that they have been.

COME ON! MAKE THE CALLS! :)

Got an email releasing me from the project. Made it to finals here in NYC. Best of luck.

Thanks for that update. Best of luck to you!!

Yes, callbacks were today.

Any word on offers?
