I was tired just reading about your audition! How do you do it? Oh, yeah, that’s right…you’ve got an “adorable” little boy who gives you a workout everyday!

Really enjoyed the newsy post that gives a backstage look at the auditioning process…thanks!

OK, Jen, we all know you have the “triple threat”. In the words of another famous show, God, I hope YOU get it! Reading your blog, I could just imagine you singing that song and absolutely nailing it!
Keep us posted…… )

P.S. My daughter Allie has the part of Rusty in her senior high school musical, Footloose! (she’s really a highly ranked tennis player, but decided to try out on a whim since she has singing and dance training). Who knew? She gets it all from me……….. ha!

Hope all is well with you.

We found the actress again,
To be in the gambling den,
And her name is Jen,
And she starred with Sebastien……

Sorry, best I could come up with, Jennifer, on such short notice. Wow, you’d be terrific in G&D, but we need to update the script to the new millenium and Adelaide needs to get with the program.

Maybe now that he’s on the West Coast a lot, how about suggesting Christian Hoff for Sky Masterson? And Ruth Williamson would be great in a female version of Nicely-Nicely Johnson, unless Rosie O’Donnell is available!!

Pam and I are planning to see Tituss Burgess in G&D in early May on Broadway…he’s already been warned not to sneak out the front after the show, which he tends to do when he expects a star-struck fan waiting at the stage door.

Small world too…Donna McKechnie was in A Chorus Line with my high school classmate Nancy Lane (whom I’ll see at my upcoming 40th HS reunion). Meeting Donna has now been bumped to my #3 Broadway experience after meeting you and after being told by an AW concession attendant that the JB T-shirts run very small. (I was buying an XL for a friend and she thought it was for me!!)

Awesome, Jen!! I could feel your energy and excitement just reading this post. Of course, the creative team for G/D loves you and are cheering. You are the best!! Sure you nailed the audition.I can just picture (wish I could hear!!) you singing that wonderful song from South Pacific. And how great that Donna M will be part of the production. She is beautiful and so talented as well. My fingers are crossed for you, girl!!! XOX

Wow! What a day! I was thinking of you and sending you good vibes. This would be a great short story for any musical theatre student and for us living vicariously!

Ah Jen, another well written piece where I could experience every moment with you—I could feel everything you mentioned here as I went along on this ride with you! So amazing! What a wonderful time you had! I so hope you get this part! Yes, Donna McKechnie is gorgeous and totally amazing on stage. How awesome it would be to work with her! You certainly looked like you could dance while in JB, I know how much you had to work at it, but still, you can do it! You just bring so much more to everything you do, the dancing will fall into place with all that hard work. Prayers and good vibes coming your way! Can’t wait to hear!! Hey, see you in 4 weeks!!! xoxo Wanda
