Five years ago last week, one of the girls was cast as the Minstrel and I got Dauntless because the director needed me opposite the powerhouses playing Fred and the Queen. Huge compliment, I know...but at the time I was pissed because I had already been Dauntless before and I REALLY wanted the Minstrel. I feel so vindicated now.

If Josh has too much to do, you could make one for me. It takes me for hours to make banners and I don't have the time at the moment.

If it makes you feel better, I voted for you for Dauntless, but it was rejected.

It would have been a bad decision on my part, as director, to accept this as a valid audition:
| Trevor wrote: | Hi my name is Trevor and I am auditioning for the role of Prince Dauntless. I will be singing "I'm Not That Smart" from Spelling Bee for you tonight.
Cast me because I'm playing it IRL and I'm awesome. |
Even as it abides by my rules, everyone else at least wrote something to do with character. I honestly thought you were joking. But even if you weren't, I made the decision to not accept your audition.

Dauntless is a silly role is it not?
Once Upon A Mattress is a comedy is it not?
I approached the audition as a goofy person, did I not?
So therefore you are full of shit, are you not?
.:edit:. This is a forum cast. Not a real show. You're not a director and let's hope to God you never are. Just because you tallied some votes doesn't make you a director.

Luc

*shrugs*
So be it.
|
Trevor reincarnate

I think it's cool that just because you don't like me, you don't accept my e-audition. If it was any of your preteen friends, you would have laughed your little ass off and cast them whether they were voted for or not.
Awesome.

Have a nice day. Next time I "direct" a forum cast, don't bother auditioning.

You've posted numerous times that you think forum casts are dumb...I dunno, I think it was a safe assumption of Luc's that your's was a joke. I thought it was.

How 'bout you guys just stop fighting?
You have opinions about the matter, and something unfair might have been done, but is it seriously something to argue about via MdN? Or at all?
It had to be said.

He was just trying to be witty like Matthew and ended up sounding like a retard.

You're just jealous you never got cast.
Get over it.

Yes. You're right. As always.
I wish I could be JUST LIKE YOU!

Shut up.

I know I have absolutely nothing to do with this, but I just want to give a little friendly response.
Luc, even if you did think Trevor's audition was a joke, what's the big deal to have one extra audition? He didn't do anything wrong.
And also, would it be all that much trouble to just stick him in the ensemble of this little internet cast?
This is definately NOT something worth fighting over.

I would like to point out to everyone that I do NOT want to be in this stupid forum cast anymore. I just want everyone to realize the cliquish bigot our lovely Luc really is.
I said it. A bigot.

I agree with you. When I put in my votes, he replied back saying that he can't accept my vote for you the I must vote for someone else.

I don't think the point was that he just decided to oust you from the game, just that he thought you were completely joking when you auditioned.

That is not an audition, it could have been easily thought of as a joke and a remark taking the mickey out of people who like forum castings. You're just trying to get attention.

Brock07

Everyone says that you were trying to be funny and goofy to be like Dauntless....I don't see it.
I read it and thought, what the hell does IRL mean, and what does that have to do with Dauntless? This guy must be lazy, doesn't care, and can't think of anything more substancial or relevent to write about.
|
Trevor reincarnate

Well that's your (wrong) opinion.
IRL = In Real Life.
And wicked_boy? SHUT IT. Everything you say is unintelligent.

Please read my post in the Talk About the Forum HERE thread. My apologies again, Trevor.
Now please stop the arguing in this thread. I'd like to try and keep this as happy as possible.

Happy!
So now that we have our wonderful cast, and we're waiting for our wonderful banners to be made, what do we do?....
TALK MATTRESS!!!!!!
Who in the cast has been/is in OUAM now?
I am currently a lord in our college's student-run production. Basically, that's the chorus.
|

One of my very first shows was mattress acctually!
I was a lord, Lord Bryan. Made up name, so all ensemble members felt special basically. But it was fun anyway, and it got me into a great childrens theatre program I still work for!

I was Dauntless in an adult production at 14, and revisited the same role a year later in a high school production.

I was actually Dauntless in a dinky little CT when I was 11... good times! lol

I was Winnifred in a Community Theatre last April. Twas fantastic!

Naturally! There's the OBC (which is supposedly closest to the licensed version) and the 1995 Revival with Sarah Jessica Parker. I personally prefer the OBC (which is saying something because I famously hate Carol Burnett), though I must say that a lot of the "bonus" tracks are unnecesary. Still in all, I'd suggest the OBC.

I was Winnifred in my HS production last year. Performing that role was amazing and it was hysterical, but the drama during rehearsals when the other girls were basically against me was hell.
|

I personally prefer the revival recording with SJP. I like some of the different arrangments they do, especially with "Quiet," and "the Spanish Panic," and all of the voices (including SJP's) sound really good.

Oh wow. thanks guys!!!! I have been away from MdN for a few weeks. I feel bad, because I completely forgot to vote.

I've never listened to the Original, but I downloaded the revival on iTunes when I found out what show we were doing this year so I could be familiar with it. But the music is extreamly different from the one the lisenced version uses.
But I LOVE listening to it anyway.
|
PappyCat
|
I think both are worth listening to. The Original is great but I really prefer the Revival's Dauntless. Just a personal opinion.
|

I love the revival, but I have to listen to the orginal or else I'll start singing the revival's verison in the middle of a song...
I'm currently just started pratices for OUAM. I'm a lady in waiting and unoffical understudy for Lady Larken(my director asked me to read Larken's lines while our Larken was gone). I'm disapointed to be in the chorus, but as of today I have realized why. I need to control a handful of jr. high girls in the chorus who have no idea what the heck they are doing out there on that stage.

There aren't any bonus tracks on the OBCR that I have...

I think he's referring to the little snippets where Carol is talking to the director.

So true. They act like 30 seconds of Carol receiving a vague direction and saying, "Oh, okay...all right" is some long-lost treasure.

You belittle that track! It also says "I guess I'm just getting too comfortable with it is all."

Maybe I should have said "previously unreleased". Besides the aformentioned "Studio Dialogue", there's also "Nightingale Lullaby" and "Quiet".

I'll have to download the OBC when I get back to college....and high speed internet. That's the reason I havn't been on as much lately (not that many probably noticed...cept the Elimination thread people). MdN takes forever to load....

Well, Quiet and the Lullaby are both songs in the show, so I wouldn't really count them as Bonus Tracks... *shrugs*
Anywho...
