DS Auditions for Million Dollar Quartet!

[erincon23]

My DS19 auditions for the new Chicago company of Million Dollar Quartet today! He's a musical theatre major, but leaving college at the end of this semester to try out the professional world. To get the audition, he had to send in a videotape of himself singing and playing guitar to one of the songs in the show, and the casting director called and offered him an audition! He's obviously very excited -- this is one of his "dream" shows -- he loves the music and there's no dancing ! If you think about it around 11 this morning, please send a good thought!

Thanks for the good thoughts -- update-- he said that they had him sing and play only one song (they had told him to prepare a couple), and he wasn't asked to do the monologue he was supposed to prepare, so he doesn't feel very hopeful. He thinks it was a good opportunity, and this was for a large casting company,so they've seen him now. He doesn't know when he'll have more info.

Even if he doesn't get any further, just the audition is valuable. DD loves to act and sing and all of her teachers/coaches tell her audition, audition, audition! Good luck to your DS!

That's so true about the audition being a valuable experience. DS is a professional musician and has had to audition so many times. Although he's missed out on more jobs than we can count, every audition teaches him something. Right now he's got a job as a musician on a cruise ship, but the auditions will probably be in the near future.
