Avenue Q - Casting

New York Times: "The neon lights and hyped-up fans of that televised competition could hardly be more different from the atmosphere on a recent morning at Chelsea Studios, a warren of casting and rehearsal rooms on West 26th Street, where casting was under way for the first national tour of “Avenue Q,” the Tony-winning musical comedy mixing actors and puppets. Anxious young performers lined the corridors, battling their nerves in eerie quiet."

competition is the name of the game when you want to be a theatre performer...its interesting that they are comapring it to the grease american idol-like show...the industry is taking a turn i think in their big musicals and they are creating a more pop-like atmosphere when they should be seperated from each other because of the completely different nature of the industries. i wonder if anyone from our school will end up on the tour...it wouldnt be unheard of...
