"What do you think we'll be doing for the musical this year?" Blaine asked Kurt.
"I don't know, I just hope we don't do an all girl musical, like 'Annie' so I don't have to play a girl part." Kurt said.
Then the girls gave him a death stare. "Hey, this school kind of respects me now, I don't want to ruin it." He added and they couldn't argue with that logic.
Will then walked into the choir room.
"Alright, guys, I have decided what the musical for this year will be." Will said. "This year McKinley will put on, 'Oliver!'
Then all the guys started chattering, but the girls didn't think it was a good idea being that there were few female roles.
"Mr. Shue, do you think it's a good idea when there aren't many female parts." Rachel protested and Kurt rolled his eyes. Blaine did so as well.
"Yeah, but I'm going to alerter some male roles to female." Will told her. "Anyway, auditions are tomorrow."
"Who are you auditioning for Kurt?" Blaine asked him.
"Oliver of course, I've always wanted to play a lead and besides Oliver sings high notes." Kurt said, he really wanted the part.
"I'm auditioning for the Artful Dodger." Blaine said. "I'm actually kind of bias considering the musical Jack Wild played him."
"Didn't he have a lot of problems?" Rachel asked.
"Rachel, don't. Jack was a legend, how many 14 year olds can play that young of a guy." Blaine argued and no one bothered to top it.
"I'm auditioning for Nancy, what about you Sam?" Ally said.
"Uh, I don't know." Sam answered, he was still thinking about his decision.
"I'm auditioning for Bill Sikes." Rory interjected.
"I guess I'll audition for Fagin." Sam said, finally after making up his mind.
Rachel of course wanted the lead role. "Well, Ally, you're going to have to fight for that role, because I'm going to steal it from you." Rachel challenged.
"You're so on Berry, bring it!" She replied. Then everyone laughed, until the bell rang a minute later.
The next day for auditions, they signed up and everyone had to do a song from another musical.
Kurt had to audition with a song from 'Wicked', Blaine had to do one from 'Grease', Rachel and Ally had to do 'Funny Girl', Sam had to do 'Rocky Horror', and Rory had to do 'West Side Story'.
Sam was first and he sang 'Sword Of Damocles', it was the only song Rocky sang in Rocky Horror. Will thought he did great and then Rory came in and sang, 'Tonight'.
Rachel and Ally later sang for their audition with selections from Funny Girl and soon enough, it was Blaine's turn.
Blaine sang 'Grease Lightning' for his audition, everyone loved it.
Finally Kurt was up and he sang the one song from Wicked he loved more than any other. 'Defying Gravity'.
He was great, everyone loved it, Will remembered him doing it two years ago, he now knew that he faked blowing the note back then. Everyone loved hearing that song from him again, including Rachel.
The next day, the cast list went up and everyone was excited, but Kurt was nervous. What if he didn't get the part?
He needed this to get into NYADA.
The cast list of 'Oliver!' read…

Artful Dodger… Blaine Anderson

Sam and Rory got opposite the parts they wanted, but they didn't care.
Rachel was pissed that she didn't get the part, she lost it to a junior, but at least she was a Hummel.
Kurt and Blaine were very happy to have gotten the roles they wanted.
"So, we got the leads." Blaine said, and Kurt had no idea on how to respond to that.
"Yeah, this is amazing." Kurt said.
What did you think?
Oliver! Was the first real musical I ever saw! I loved it! I think I watched it because at the time I discovered the great actor, Jack Wild.
Anyway, what did you think? Auditions! :)
