I thought my days of checking the cast list in vain were over. Turns out, you can do the same thing on Broadway...you just have to wait for the website to be updated (or the Playbill if you can actually afford to go see the show. I, obviously, cannot.)
My co-worker and I were discussing a role she thought I would be good for in a certain Broadway show. I would name the show, but because of my bitter demeanor due to my lack of casting or ability to obtain tickets, I refuse to freely advertise for them. Since she couldn't remember the name of the actor who played the aforementioned character (she is not a gay and is blonde so I forgive her blunder), we checked the website.
...and that's when I saw him...that lopsided smile in an ill-fitting, unpressed button-up. He stole my role.
Well...he stole my stand-by.
But it goes beyond that. I had seen him in a YouTube video years ago when all I had of Broadway was wireless internet and a rainbow aura. I quickly stalked him on Facebook like any 18 year old in a Musical Theatre program would do and begged for friendship...and he delivered...ooooh did he deliver. Just another under-pitch upperclassmen at the program formerly known as CAP21 (Oh...are they still calling it that?) he reached out to me with encouragement.
and then he stole my role.
SEE IF I EVER LIKE YOUR PHOTOS FROM YOUR DAYS ON THE DISNEY CRUISE LINE AGAIN!
Begging for the tour,
