This is just a taster, if you like it them leave a review and I'll carry it on.
I own nothing except the plot line and Kathrynn who is my creation.
Enjoy.
As in most West End musicals, the leads move from musical to musical. From Les Misérables to Wicked. From Mamma Mia to We Will Rock You. From Shrek to The Wizard of Oz and everything in between. Kathrynn Morgan was no exception to this. At 21 she was one of the youngest to take a female lead role and was currently finishing off the season playing Glinda in Wicked after the previous actress became seriously ill.
"Rynn, where are you it's our last day in Oz!" Anna asked. Rynn skilfully held her phone to her ear with her shoulder, a cup of coffee in her hand and holding onto the bar of the train.
"On the District line, just got on at Tower Hill." Rynn replied.
"You better be bringing me breakfast." Anna retorted.
"Breakfast burrito from that Mexican place you like, my signal's about to go so I'll see you soon." Rynn added before letting go of the bar and pressing end storing her iPhone in her pocket before grabbing hold of the bar again to regain her balance.
"It's about time, my breakfast's gonna be cold now." Anna complained.
"You wait for it to go cold before you eat it Anna. Thank you." Tommy said as he stole the coffee straight out of Rynn's hand just like he did practically every morning.
The matinee and final performance went well and it wasn't until the after the curtain went down for the final time that it suddenly hit Rynn that she hadn't renewed her contract with Wicked. She was essentially out of a job. That was until her phone rang when she was in her dressing room removing all of her makeup.
"Is this Miss Morgan?" a man's voice said.
"Yeah, who's calling." Rynn replied, just as Anna, Rachel and the rest of the cast walked into her dressing room, bottles of champagne in their hands. Rynn put her hand up to silence them for a moment.
"My name is Cameron Mackintosh. I have just seen your performance and was impressed."
"Thank you Mr Mackintosh ." she replied, flattered that he had called her to tell her this.
"You're welcome Miss Morgan, now down to business. Are you currently contracted for the next season?"
"Not presently." I replied.
"Good, then I would like to offer you the role of Christine Daae in Phantom of the Opera for the 25th anniversary production as well as for the season."
"Really, oh gosh." Rynn replied.
"I'll give you some time to think about it. Goodnight Miss Morgan and congratulations on an excellent performance."
"What's up Kathrynn? You look like you've seen a ghost." Rachel asked, pouring a glass of champagne for Rynn.
"That was Cameron Mackintosh."
"The Cameron Mackintosh Tommy asked and Rynn just nodded in reply.
"He was at the performance tonight. He just offered me the role of Christine in the anniversary of Phantom and for the following season."
After graciously accepting the offer and having a couple of weeks off before rehearsals started for Phantom. Rynn set off for Paris to get a feel of the city and visited the Opera house, asking the management if she could sing on the stage to get the feel of it for when she Phantom and to gain prospective on the role that she had just accepted, the role of a lifetime.
