We are unfortunately doing Grease. The utter disappointment that now lingers in my heart I hope will go away by the time auditions roll around. The reason I am so disappointed is that there is a cornucopia of amazing shows, and musicals that we could have chosen. Wonderfully tragic and touching dramas, hilarious musicals, groundbreaking artsy shows, and Grease is none of those things. It's just Grease. EVERY high school does Grease, and its always the same. I am filled with Atomic Adolescent Angst.
I guess I have to figure out who I'm trying out for. I think Sandy is within reach. I would love to break out of my supporting role box, although that is where I can really get creative with a role, but I want to make Sandy awesome, and I think I'm up for it. Otherwise of course, Rizzo is an option I can not turn away from. Several reasons being: I relate to her so much, her songs are way better than Sandy, and I could stop the show with that role. Then again, if I get that part, I may be locked in the supporting role box for all eternity! Thats alright too I guess.
