Audition Horror Stories w/Guest Co-Host Kathryn Lounsbery
Manage episode 305712014 series 2873472
Whether you’re a young actor or a Broadway veteran, chances are you’ve had a horrifying audition experience. Ever had the accompanist stop playing in the middle of your audition? Or did you show up late and nearly miss your audition appointment?
In this special episode, my fellow music director Kathryn Lounsbery and I share our own horror stories from behind the piano as well as submissions from listeners, including Broadway’s Beth Malone (Fun Home, Angels in America).
You’ll hear us talk about Sondheim mishaps, terrible dance calls, callback partners that botched the scene, and directors cutting you off multiple times on a song. The stories are truly terrifyingly brutal and yet somehow also make us feel like we’re not alone in this crazy theatre experience.
If you’re looking for a good laugh or you just want to know you’re not the only one with a horrific audition experience, then take a listen to this episode!
