Yesterday I auditioned for the Grosse Pointe Theatre's production of The Boyfriend. It was a simple, easy audition and I was only nervous singing my first time through. My leg twitched like mad, but it didn't affect my voice (at least, not that I noticed.) I read several times, sang a lot, danced twice.

I received a call around 7 pm saying that I was cast in the role of Polly. My first time back ON stage since Pirates summer of 2007. I am very blessed that I could jump back in with a lead role.

Here is the synopsis on the GPT website:
The Jazz Age lives on in this light, romantic spoof of 1920's musical comedy. The setting is - where else? - the French Riviera. Polly, an English heiress attending Mme. Dubonnet's Finishing School, falls in love with Tony, a delivery boy. Recalling her father's warning to beware fortune seekers, she posses as a working girl, unaware Tony is in fact the missing son of the wealthy Lord Brockhurst. Things get complicated with the unexpected arrival in Nice of Polly's parents and Lord and Lady Brockhurst - but not to worry, a happy ending is in store for all. "The Boy Friend" is a sparkling, tongue-in-cheek 1920's romp in the spirit of "No, No, Nanette
."

I'm happy that the GPT made that little typo. "she posses". It's very ghetto gangsta.
