bookzombieWell, neither of us got the big parts we were going for.
I got one of the half-dozen cowboys that are the secondary cast. It's not at all a bad part - I get a couple of trios (Bidin' my Time and The Real American Folk Song is a Rag) and part of a couple of other really good chorus song-and-dance numbers (I Got Rhythm and Slap that Bass, which is likely to be the highlight of the show). Also, as we don't have enough men, some of the lines belonging to other minor characters might be re-distributed in my direction!
I'm less disappointed than I might have been: in some ways the decision niggles, but on the other hand if I had got the lead, it would have been the only thing (outside of work) that I could have done for the next five-six months.

pennski has got a slightly unusual part - there are a brother and sister who turn up at one point, so they are re-casting it as two sisters, with pennski being one of the sisters. What is rather nice is that the new musical director, Viv, suggested doing this - particularly as they wanted a singer for the part. This is a real boost to pennski confidence after the knock she got from the previous musical director!
So overall I think we are both reasonably happy. We can get on with setting the show now, which is going to be fun!
