This is totally non-photog related but I just wanted to share anyway

I am a huge fan of the musical WICKED and entered this contest just for fun: http://www.citywalkhollywood.com/Wicked

You basically submit a video audition all online, of yourself singing a selected song from the list they give you on that website.

I sent it a month ago and thought they pretty much chucked my audition video out, but then I get a call letting me know I was chosen as one of the 10 semi-finalists for this Wed the 16th @ 7pm!!!


LOL so if anyone is in the Hollywood area and wanna see me make of fool of myself on the stage at Citywalk, feel free to drop in!!!

Ohhh.... I am a Wicked fool!!! I love that show. I actually saw it on tour with Hilty and Bean.. great chemistry.

I don't live in Hollywood.. but good luck. Post a video if you can.. I will watch!

I LOVE wiked! You'll rock it! I wish I lived on that side of the country to come cheer for you!

Awesome. I have yet to SEE Wicked but I have read the book and loved it. Hopefully someday I'll actually see the show.

omygosh thank you sooo much for your encouragement, Becka, Brandi, and Sarah!!

So yeah it was a lot of fun last night and I actually won and advanced to the August 20th finals

That's awesome! Do you sing locally?

Thanks Floyd!!

hmm sing locally.. yeah I lead worship at my church!

haha but I sometimes do musical theater too in Redlands but otherwise, that's pretty much it

i want to see YOUR video!!!! i love wicked! whih one did you sing?? good luck and congrats on making it that far!!!

Dude, which church?

Crestview in San Bernardino.. have you heard of it? What area are you from??

Thank you!!! I sang "For Good".... I will figure out how to get it out of the palmcorder and on to my laptop

Awesome! I love that show, and i was just listening to it this morning!

A friend and I sang "For Good" a few years ago for a benefit performance at our Theatre. It is such a great song!

Break a leg in the next round!

I LOVED the book and then saw the show and it's amazing and wonderful, but I it wasn't anything like the book. The realtionships are very different. It's just like seeing a movie made from a book. And I am the biggest theatre and musical buff ever! But the book is just too good. I wish I would have known how different the musical was because I had just finished the book DAYS before I went to see the musical and so every little different detail was fresh in my mind. So I wanted to let you know so that you don't have the same expectations that I did.

GREAT show though. I had a wonderful time. and CONGRATS on winning and making the next round!!! That's so awesome!

That's AWESOME!!!!!

Carey and I saw Wicked on Broadway when we were in NY for PhotoPlus last year - it was AWESOME!!!!

Congrats - keep us posted on your progress!!

All the best,
Roxanne

I'm in Loma Linda...I have a friend that used to live right by that church.

Thank you!! Yeah it's such a sweet song, and I new everyone else would opt for "Defying Gravity" or "Wizard and I" or "Popular"

Thank you! Yeah I saw it once in NY, and was lucky enough to catch a show when it was still Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth, now THAT was a night to remember!


How cool is that! Yeah I'm in Loma Linda all the time lol, have friends that live there, so I go to play tennis there, plus our family doc is at the LLUMC

BUMP!!!

HOW DID IT GO????

OHHH yes how did it go?

Congrats! That is so awesome! I love Wicked. I saw it for my birthday a couple years ago. How did it go??

I won that night and have now advanced to the Finals on August 20th at citywalk

I will basically be competing one more time and whoever wins that night gets the walk on role for one Wicked show at the Pantages
