YAY! Congrats! *hugs!*

Thanks! *hugs back*

I am so high. I was completely shaking after I sung it - could hardly walk - and really couldn't believe it when they announced I'd got the part, even though I'd worked out I had to because the other two people who auditioned for it had already been given other parts by that point... Can not believe it! :-)

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

I'm really happy for you! What's the part? Is there lots of acting and stuff as well?

[unfeathered]

Yeah, loads. It's basically what they call an 'ensemble' cast so there are 10 principals, who apart from Jesus are very even in the amount they get to do. They all act out a lot of different characters acting out the parables and things. And everyone's on stage pretty much the whole show.

My character is apparently a bit of a show-off, so I think she has a bit more to do than some of the others - I haven't managed to read the whole script yet - but I get the impression there's going to be a LOT of learning to do!

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Wow, sounds good! I'm going to look up the show, 'cause it all sounds very interesting.

[unfeathered]

Yeah. To be honest, it's a little bit too religious for me, because I'm not at all religious, but the music and the whole idea and the story are definitely worth it.

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Yeah, looks like I'll have to turn off my tingly atheist sense, and leave the Richard Dawkins at home, if I see it. Seems fun enough though! What's your character called, by the way?

[unfeathered]

Joanne. They're all just named after the people in the original cast. The song is 'Bless the Lord'.

And it is going to be a right laugh. Really hard work, but really good fun too. :-)

and

we all knew you could do it!

[unfeathered]

Thank you! A bouncing WOW! *g*

I really didn't think I could do it. I nearly chickened out when I got there and went for a different part!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* Kudos for not chickening out!!!! *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* I'm so happy for you! *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce*

[unfeathered]

Yeah, I'm pretty damn proud of myself! :-)

This really is the first big part I've got in a company that's any good. It's really nice to know that I'm good enough.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Of course you're good enough!!!

Happy Dance Time!!!!!!

[unfeathered]

Well, that's very sweet of you, but there's no 'of course' about it - they're a very good group with a very high standard.

Though I admit I was really pleased with how I sounded once I got up and sang. It sounded a lot better in the hall than it did here in the living room this morning. First time I've actually sung on my own in public in - God, I've lost track - about four or five years?!!

That's a very cute happy dance! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

There are a million here: http://www.bestsmileys.com/pageindex.htm
you just cut and paste and put on LJ's image tags to get them to show up

Here's a perfect one for _medley_

[unfeathered]

My goodness, there's millions of them!

I think I'll just stick with the old fashioned type, but it's fun when you use them! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I like the basic :-) too. But sometimes a little more flash is fun

[unfeathered]

Yeah, I'm just lazy. I'll just let other people use them for my entertainment! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

this one is singing in your honor!

[unfeathered]

Hee - cute! :-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Bwahaha! I love that one!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmmmm... she doesn't deny the need for it...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

You wouldn't believe me if I did.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

who me?

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

I like this one:

[unfeathered]

Oh, that one's funny!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh, MASSIVE congratulations! That is so awesome!

[unfeathered]

Thank you! It is awesome, isn't it! I still can't quite believe it! I really didn't expect to get it! :-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

It is! And believe it, 'cause it's YOURS! YAAAY!

[unfeathered]

Yeah, I think it's going to take a bit of time to get used to the idea!

Maybe by the end of the read-through on Wednesday, it'll have sunk in! :-)

[becky-h.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[unfeathered]

Thank you! Still reeling! :-)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Oh hon, that's brilliant! Congratulations and good luck!

*big happy hugs*

[unfeathered]

Thank you! *hugs back*

I'm really, really excited! :-)

[javana12.livejournal.com]

Congradulations!!!!

Must admit I suck at auditions always do something to stuff them up so you have my deepest respect that you managed it so well.

Hope you have fun celebrating!!

[unfeathered]

Thank you! I really, really didn't expect it to go that well, but as soon as I got up there the adrenalin started flowing and just carried me along! :-)

[chatona.livejournal.com]

YAY! :D

[unfeathered]

Yeah, it's great, isn't it? Still hasn't sunk in! :-)

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Whee!

[unfeathered]

Thank you! Looking forward to the first read-through tomorrow! :-)

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I missed this! Congrats to you, and I'm sure you'll manage that A no problem. Yay!

[unfeathered]

Thank you! I had to sing it again at the read-through and managed fine - amazing!

And I sang loads of descants by myself at the carol-singing evening and they weren't too shoddy either!

It's amazing. I have never ever been in a group where I was the one who was best at getting the high notes!!!!! :-)
