So many of you did your BEST work today! We can tell already that this is going to be an AWESOME show!
We would like to call back the following people to read/sing for the following roles. Please DO NOT read anything into this.
For Melpomene:
Alexis and Mel. Please enjoy this woman's badness! She is like Ursula in The Little Mermaid, she's bad and she loves herself for it. See if you can find an evil or shrill voice for her. She is calculating and full of jealousy.
For Calliope:
Jess, Toniann, Aryana, Donjeta and Natalie. She is Melpomene's evil partner in crime. She is sassy and street-smart. She has seen it all and she is over everything. Have fun with her. She is a nut. Whatever you do for the crazy singing, apply to the reading too so that it feels like the same woman when singing and speaking.
For Sonny:
Checkers and Jordan. This guy is a typical California dude. He is earnest and charming and really believes in ART, dude! You would benefit from watching clips of Keanu Reeves in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." Both of the lead guys in that movie are the ultimate California dudes.
Call-Backs will be held in Dr. Messina's room at 3:00. Mrs. B will be there at 2:30 if anyone wants to go over music. Come in PREPARED. Know your lines. Show us this is important to you.
