The Disney Trio

Hello hello,

I started out this crazy week, with an audition in NYC, for what I thought was Disney Cruiseline. Now In the world of Musical theatre, performing on a cruise doesn't give you that much credit. It really doesn't count as a tour of any kind, but it's a great exeperience and good money. Andf It would an awesome vacation that has been long coming, a chance to travel the hot sea, be on beautiful beaches and getting paid well to dance, Bring it on!

Now Disney has an audition for their crusie line just about every month, I have done this audition before, I think some time in january, and I made it thru, and they video taped me, and put me on file. Great, but what does that mean. Anyway, I get to the studio sign in find a spot to sit down, and who do I see but my old friend from Penn State Rebecca Miller. Cool, actually she was the one I saw at the other Disney one in Jan as well. Hey when you need a job , you need a job.

The first group goes in, which I am not apart of, so I was able to look in the window later to try and see what kind of combination it was. Couldn't really see much thru the curtains accept a big kick,(which I thought was on the right side,my good leg). and hear the music which happened to be from the soundtrack of dreamgirls, How awesome! Uh Oh, you better get it disney.

So time passes, the first group of 20 is out and we go in. The combination, is real quick, and short, oh and I was wrong the kick was on the left, the not as good as my right leg. But surprisingly, I still looked like I could kick my face with it, so praise the Lord! All that stretching is doing me good. They kept just 4 people from my group, and I was the only boy. SO we had to stay and wait for the call back after the last group.

When we got back into the room, we meet everyone who is sitting in the corner, all the producers of disney stuff, and we come to find out, That Tokyo Disney, Walt Disney World, and The Cruiseline is there, oh, sweet. get it all done at once. Out of over 60 people, they keep only 9 people all together, and only 3 guys. we learn more of the combination, which was hot, the guy teaching was actually one of the guys who was apart of my big Carmen audition I was invited too for those of you who remember that. So we all do well, they tape us all again, we fill out the paper work, and the Casting guy tells me that he isn't looking for anything for the cruiseline, but that he's got a spot in Beauty and the beast.( which is at disney world). I say ok great. And then another one wanted to see if I could tap, so I threw some stuff together and showed that I could, no Savion Glover, but I can. and that was all.

I never know how aggressive I should be whne it comes to auditioning, or what I'm suppossed to say. Like if I should have been like great yeah when does that start, and always sound super interested. I don't know, the tokyo guy said he would call the girls he wanted in june, so hopefully That's when I'll hear something. I said the only way I'd work at Disney again would be if I were equity, or in a show, so maybe I'm going back down to Disney? Who knows, I'm just wishin on a star hopin my dreams will come true.
