Hey Chuck,
It's so exciting getting ready for auditions. The night before most I can barely sleep. Good luck to all, performers and artistic staff.
Thought you might be interested. Len and I saw "Into the Woods" at Columbus Children's Theatre, with Emily Asbury last night. In one word, magnificent! A young, more beautiful Joanna Gleason was born. Emily's Baker's Wife was amazingly dimensional...wry, funny, vulnerable, sexy, fiesty, tragic, (and did I mention beautiful), but it was her singing that exceeded our expectations by about 500%. Otterbein has been good for her and she has obviously worked her tail off. She made Huntington proud, again. We can't wait to see more shows at CCT. And Emily, if your reading this, beat those people your working with at school, they need to cast you in everything, d...n it!
Have great auditions everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing the cast list.
Thanks for the review, Denise - we're planning to see the show next weekend, and we're really looking forward to it!
And you're right about auditions - I'm never sure who's more wound up - the one auditioning or the directing team!
