francescasmum did your dd need to play the piano then? is that a thing with the part?
the director asking to meet her is very good

They asked for basic piano skills but she was not asked to demonstrate that in the audition! Maybe that will be in the next round.

Thats great francescasmum that is great the girls seem to be the same aqs in the book its just the boys part that seems strange to see thin boys when the script says jombo which I take to mean a fat boy not a thin one so there just very strange

Any one else ds hear back from this feel it must be a no For ds but would love to hear from some one who has heard any thing back or no of a boy who got the part so I can forget about it would be interesting to find out what he looks like after all the thin boys who auditioned for it.

Hi everyone, thanks for your good wishes, we got an e-mail to say the director has decided to 'go in a different direction'! :( don't know what that exactly means except that dd's no longer in the running, never mind. The CD seemed to be gushing about dd so hopefully they'll bear her in mind if something else comes up.
