Well, my audition for Oliver! was fantastic, I got called back for Charlotte and Bet (All the Nancy's were pretty old...) and the callbacks went wonderfully. There were about 20 girls called back for Bet, but I was obviously the only one who could pull off Charlotte. I had the cockney accent down, i was verrry flirtatious, and i had by far the best reading out of anyone. Everyone involved in the callbacks were saying i was a shooin for the part. Then I didn't get in.. the reason I believe is because i am 11 weeks pregnant, and im sure rumors of that were going around. I am just disappointed because I would not be showing by the time of performances, and so it shoudnt be a problem. oh well, I just wanted to share that because that was probably my last shot for awhile to audition for Oliver...

thats so harsh!

You should have kept your pregnancy a secret, I think. It's not uncommon for preggers women to not be cast until they pop.

On the subject of pregnant women...hows about a pregnant Maria Von Trapp! LOL! I saw it!!!

[rockyrocks666]

[LisaKitty]

Well, I'm sorry about the audition not going your way, but congratulations on the baby! That must be exciting for you!

[Bex]

heck yeah! i'd much rather be pregnant than have a part in Oliver! besides you can train your baby up from birth to do stage work and one day you could be in a show together! how cute!

[liza_minelli]

Yay! Congrats on the Pregnancy!! My mum's pregnant!!

Hey.. you're not my mum are you??

*!*Shifty eyes*!*

I'm in "Calamity Jane" right now and our Katie is pregnant! But she's only about a month gone and there's nothing there to see yet!!

My Mum did a show when she was about 6 months pregnant with me! although she was too big to do much except stand and sing bless her!
And I can't wait to have a little girl (some day -- not yet!!!!) who can be in a show with me, that would be so cute!!

That sucks but hey, you'll get the best prize... your baby.

[NaNcE68]

Yeah, i was in Wizard of Oz a little while ago, and one of the women in the ensemble was due two days after we closed! Luckily, she made it all the way to the end...

[ShadowInTheWings]

^That would be a little chancy. What if she delivered early? Or worse, if she went into labour on stage? I can see that making a difference, if you're due around the same time as the performances. But if you're not even going to show during the performances, I don't think it should matter.

[norayouadora]

Aww, that sucks. I've been there, for sure. Uhhh, in spirit. Not in pregnancy. Hehe.

But hey, congratulations on the baby, seriously! That is great news. Now you get to be a stage mom--how exciting! Ha, jk.

Oh, and I hope you get many more chances to audition for Oliver! in the future.

Uh... Charlotte wouldnt have a Cockney accent, remember the Undertakers was in the Midlands with the workhouse, so she'd have a Birmingham accent, as should Mr Bumble which most people forget (but the new movie did give him a Brummy accent!), he ran away from the Undertakers to London, only there would people have Cockney accents.

[NaNcE68]

Yes, I know, but the stage manager, who I asked before I did my reading, told me to use a cockney accent...I was also being called back for Bet, so I guess it's possible they were trying to see if I could pull the accent off for that reason...
