Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

On the first audition day they did about half a day of singing, dancing and acting (their monologue) and then a number of children were cut (list of names of those through to the afternoon were read out :o ). Those that got through stayed for a further session and then at the end of that, some more ...

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

That's useful thanks. I expect they do what they can to get them home too. Got the impression they were very child-focussed and keen on time at home. There's always a way to work things out of you need to isnt there, and the experience of being in the show would be amazing for sure!

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

April skies... does that mean initial rehearsals for tour wouldn't work for anyone living outside London then - if I have read that correctly...thanks No - I'm sure it could work for many families if that's what they wanted and their child was happy with that. For us it wouldn't have been ideal and...

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

That sounds great Talya, lots of fun. No it was going to be different for matilda - children who could do so, would live at home, go to school in the morning and then come in for rehearsals in London 2-8 some days (other days no school as rehearsals 10-5). Rehearsals they said would be Monday to Sat...

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.[/quote] Yes they'd be housed. Likely in a hotel they said. So therefore she'd have m...

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 ther...

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 y...

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 anyw...

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

Yes, I don't think they swing for each other. I thought that there would be a girl on each team whose role is swing and she replaces either Amanda or Lavender in x number of shows a week.

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

I thought they were seeing them separately to try them out with a different role. Like they'd looked at them during the day for Amanda and then kept them back to try them on the barrelina song to see if they could swing in for both Amanda or Lavender... ? The older/taller girls weren't kept back as ...

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

Ah ok! No idea then! My dd was originally told Lavender/alice - she was one of the tallest of the little ones too... Lots of luck to your dd (please let us know).

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

Yes I thought it was the tiny Amanda potentials who were kept back and asked to do lavender's song and mono as they were potential swings for Amanda/Lavender..? Who knows tho!!!

Re: Matilda Tour London Callback

Oh no! I hope you hear soon. We're not expecting a yes this time as they kept about 6 girls from our group back to sing more and we weren't kept but it was a great experience and there is still a slither of hope left so we'll hold on to that!! It's all just been a very new experience so we were sho...
