First Night Review

Well, the first evening of auditions are over, and so far, we've checked off many of the "must haves" for auditions, including:


-Someone who was so good it brought tears to our eyes

-Someone who was so bad it brought tears to our eyes

-Someone who ran away after her audition with tears in her eyes (ok, so they were coming out of her eyes, accompanied by a lot of wailing, but I swear, we didn't laugh at her!)


We also had the requisite hilarious jokes on the panel, and the poor kids wondering why the auditioners are killing themselves laughing when they come into the room.

At one point, I was setting up the CD player for a kid to start her song. I said "ok, you need to show me that you're having fun with this song! Take your hands out of your pockets, you can't have any fun with your hands in your pockets"

Heard from the audition panel: *snicker snicker* "I beg to differ!"

The 11-year-old in front of us didn't quite get the joke.
