is anyone else going for an audition for small potatoes? my ds left a phone message / audition and we were called back asking him to go and audition in person next month, he is very excited and i was wondering if anyone else were auditioning for this.

DS and DD phoned in but just had a call asking my DS to go at the beginning of may. I just need to call them in New York to get more details! Typical I wasn't in when they called.

Call them and ask them to call you back. They did that for me today. Auditions are on Sat or sun, call backs are Monday.

Done, just waiting for email. This is the first time we have done anything like this. Maybe see some other NAPMs there and get some advice.

Sounds like quite a lot of us will be going!

Does anyone have the song words or a date yet?

Not yet. She asked for my email so I imagine they will be sent that way.

Well done and good luck for Monday. Did you have to wait a long time from the time you called in to the time you heard of the audition ? I am just wandering how long this project has been going for. Dd rang yesterday ?

No, she did phone call after school and heard the next day.

hi, can i just ask if anyone has any details about this?
like,what are the ages and casting brief? Thanks

They are saying 6-11. But the commitment is such that I would have thought it unlikely that a six year old would cope with it. It's once a fortnight for 3 hours, in London, from May to September. I will actually have to query that if she does go for an audition, as we're away for 2 weeks in July/August.

Oh yes, they must be good singers.

DD had a go but the time I had left two phone numbers and she had said her name and age and sung one line it cut her off ... Should maybe take that as a sign!

Hi there...

Just wanted to add that when I spoke to them I asked specificaly if it was once a week or once a fortnight, and I'm afraid they said once a week. They would do a recording, then get the next script/song to learn for the following week.

Hope this helps

That's weird because i also asked them specifically what bi weekly meant, and I've cut and pasted their reply.

Ok! Does bi weekly mean once a fortnight or twice a week?

once a fortnight.

Looks like they are not all singing from the same hymn sheet!

hello igloobabe

did you receive the songs and an audition date? i was called 2 days ago and still havnt received the songs or a definite date yet, though they mentioned may 1 - 3 i am just concerned that my ds may not get long enough to learn the songs if the dont send them soon.
