So this weekend was Sweeney Todd principal auditions. I sang Think of Me from Phantom, got called back for sunday. I rock the Sunday call backs and do my personal best. Could have done better on the improv but I am proud of myself. So basically everything should be set? Wrong...
I am too tall for the part... there are no supporting men that can play opposite me. So basically bye bye Johanna. At least I was considered for the roll... like with my fair lady... Too tall for that part too.
Anyways I did my best and that is all that counts. Theater is unfair and prejudice so I get it and I am not too sad. But it would have been such a great roll for me to have!
Tonight I am auditioning for Chicago... yeah I changed my mind, was NOT planning on auditioning but then I thought what the hay? I might as well! It is funny because about a year and a half ago I auditioned for Cats with the same company that is doing Chicago and I hope they notice that I have improved a lot since then. Since Cats, which was my second musical I had done, I have gotten a lot more experience and my voice is stronger. We will see how it goes tonight.
I am singing something from Wicked ... haven't decided what though.
Like the pic? yeah thats me flying on my pink broomstick when I was in New York for Joffrey's summer intensive. My friend Kerri took it. I miss her! And NEW YORK!
Love Sigrid !!!

ReplyDeleteGood luck- hope you get the part! Chicago is SEXAY!
I'm sorry to hear that your height is given as a reason for you not being cast in leading roles. How unfair - especially as I see being tall as a blessing. Continue to be proud of all six foot of your beautiful self.
