small potatoes

[mummyofmany]

is anyone else going for an audition for small potatoes? my ds left a phone message / audition and we were called back asking him to go and audition in person next month, he is very excited and i was wondering if anyone else were auditioning for this.

DS and DD phoned in but just had a call asking my DS to go at the beginning of may. I just need to call them in New York to get more details! Typical I wasn't in when they called.

Call them and ask them to call you back. They did that for me today. Auditions are on Sat or sun, call backs are Monday.

[jojo_b]

Done, just waiting for email. This is the first time we have done anything like this. Maybe see some other NAPMs there and get some advice.

[igloobabe]

Sounds like quite a lot of us will be going!

[mummyofmany]

Does anyone have the song words or a date yet?

[igloobabe]

Not yet. She asked for my email so I imagine they will be sent that way.

Well done and good luck for Monday. Did you have to wait a long time from the time you called in to the time you heard of the audition ? I am just wandering how long this project has been going for. Dd rang yesterday ?

[igloobabe]

No, she did phone call after school and heard the next day.

hi, can i just ask if anyone has any details about this?
like,what are the ages and casting brief? Thanks

They are saying 6-11. But the commitment is such that I would have thought it unlikely that a six year old would cope with it. It's once a fortnight for 3 hours, in London, from May to September. I will actually have to query that if she does go for an audition, as we're away for 2 weeks in July/August.

Oh yes, they must be good singers.

DD had a go but the time I had left two phone numbers and she had said her name and age and sung one line it cut her off ... Should maybe take that as a sign!

Hi there...

Just wanted to add that when I spoke to them I asked specificaly if it was once a week or once a fortnight, and I'm afraid they said once a week. They would do a recording, then get the next script/song to learn for the following week.

Hope this helps

That's weird because i also asked them specifically what bi weekly meant, and I've cut and pasted their reply.

Ok! Does bi weekly mean once a fortnight or twice a week?

once a fortnight.

Looks like they are not all singing from the same hymn sheet!

hello igloobabe

did you receive the songs and an audition date? i was called 2 days ago and still havnt received the songs or a definite date yet, though they mentioned may 1 - 3 i am just concerned that my ds may not get long enough to learn the songs if the dont send them soon.
