Alex had done auditions starting Friday last week for a production of The Music Man.

Well, late last night they had posted the cast list on the website (it was due by Sunday at 5:00 pm) a bit early. It was such a heart breaker that Alex did not make it in. She had resigned herself to auditioning for the Cinderella Kids show they are doing next.

Early this morning, I got a phone call from a number I didn’t recognize, but it was on my cell so I answered it. It was the producer for The Music Man. Apparently, there were some errors and Alex did fantastically and was DEFINITELY in! According to her, she was one of the first people they cast in the show even. I guess the director was so eager to get the list out, it didn’t get proofed and there were a few other errors. It took all day today, but the correct list is now up!

So, yay! Alex made it in! Not for the role she actually wanted, but in the teen chorus. It was more a matter of aesthetics though. She is quite tall and with 20+ girls auditioning for that one role and only 5 for the boy (her “boyfriend”), it wasn’t likely that she’d get it just based on that.

This evening we spent some time playing a game as a family: Disney Trivia. We had gotten this particular game in 1997, so it didn’t have much in it that Phoebe has apparently seen. It was fun and funny and a good time. After we finally started watching Stargate Universe. It’s been waiting for us on our DVR since it premiered.

Today started as a bit of an overnight roller coaster, but ended on a good note!
