Wizard of Oz Auditions

Last night, we had the first night of adult auditions for THE WIZARD OF OZ. Youth auditions were on Saturday, and there were 38 youth (ages 8-13) at these auditions. A good number - and lots of talented kids - but not an overwhelming number. We start auditions at 6:30 p.m., and on Sunday night at 6 p.m. - when those of us who had worked all afternoon on A CHRISTMAS CAROL returned from a quick dinner - there were already 20 people in line for auditions and by the end over 80 adults auditioned for the 2010 opening musical.

It takes a long time to audition that many people - especially since they all need to dance, sing and read scenes from the show. In the end, we completed the first night of auditions at 1 a.m., and will continue auditions tonight (Monday) along with casting the show - this could be a long evening!
