Matilda Tour London Callback

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
I'm wondering if there is a reason why not everyone has had a response yet for the tour. Would anyone know why that would be? I'm wondering if some characters have not yet been cast?
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
Often offers go out, and they keep some children in reserve until all contracts are signed. That's why it takes some time for all to hear.
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
oh I don't imagine that children turn down these kind of opportunities very often though.
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
No, just occasionally a school won't agree and so the LEA won't issue a licence.

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
We had a no too. What a gorgeous email they sent tho and how brilliantly did all our children do getting so far! For dd's first audition (poss last too!) we thought it was an amazing experience. Very happy she got so far and happy with the outcome too (it turned out that you can't *really* live anywhere in the U.K. for the tour - imo...). Good luck to anyone still waiting to hear
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

Hi, yes we live too far away. She'd have had to move away from home full time for 3 mths before the tour started - don't know how we'd have managed it (I'm sure we'd have tried hard to sort something out tho if she'd got the part!!). We had an email Monday afternoon. They must still be considering your child - fingers crossed for you

RoseTower4 - we got to the final and got a no so we asked whether we were still being considered for London and they said no so I think it's great that they have recalled you and you should go! Well done to your dc for still being in the running! X
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
aprilskies, I'm sure they said in the meeting that we had that they would be accommodated in London for the initial period if you lived to far away? I don't see that she could still be being considered - im sure they must of made there decisions already. I think the waiting period is much harder than getting a no.
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
Is this what they have actually told you? They made it sound like the children would be housed in hotels /house during rehearsal periods. Is this not the case? I've only heard of one offer - to a London based child.Aprilskies wrote:Hi, yes we live too far away.

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
Thanks Iggyandbubble, I'm sorry you weren't able to go for the London show. Ds has been put back into the penultimate round which he already got through for the tour only two weeks ago. It's hard enough to get a no after the final, it would be worse to get a no for the round before that having got so far only a few weeks ago, if you get my meaning?
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
That's what I thought, we were told they would be housed for rehearsals.
was the offer to a girl that you heard of ACookie?

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
Yes they did say that you're right, but realistically would she want to live away full time for that long? Possibly with just a few other children and probably very limited home visits in that time :-(. Week on and week off for the tour would be different - hard work for parents getting the chn there and back yes, but ok for the kids (and the brilliant experience for them of being in the show!!). It was the rehearsal period that threw me just cos we do live so far away. I've learnt a lot!! Wonder why you haven't heard.. hope you do soon.
Re: Matilda Tour London Callback
aprilskies, ok that makes sense yes. Thankyou, I hope so too x

Yes they'd be housed. Likely in a hotel they said. So therefore she'd have moved there for the rehearsal period which is 3 months. As there's one day off in the week and one day off at weekends, I couldn't see what opportunity there would be for getting home? Would be more manageable if you're 1-2 hrs away... but 3-4 hrs+ would make day returns a bit unlikely. That's all I meant by moving there full time before the show.
