This is basically a collaboration between me and several other members of the Witches of Oz forum, about how we put on a crazy production of Wicked. I'm not 100% sure that this should be in , so i'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me if this is allowed!!

First Installment: Final Round of Call Backs- Part 1 (by dino, aka Teal-Shade-of-Eden)

Wendi stared around the theater in amazement, hoping that in a few months she'd be soaring over the audience every night. The room was dotted with a few other hopefuls, auditioning for various roles; a producer stood a few feet ahead of her, "We're opening in two months and still have some gaps in our cast. Don't be too nervous-- but we will scrutinize you to death, so watch out."

The producer exited the room with a few guys auditioning for Chistery, and Wendi rushed over to the callbacks list to make sure that her name was listed exclusively under "Elphaba." She frowned, seeing that she was also being considered for Nessarose and the ensemble.

A twenty foot limousine came to a screeching halt outside, and Kayla sauntered in, carrying an Iced Coffee from McDonald's; she looked pissed, "Shut up!" she screamed to her driver as Wendi listened intently, "You do what I'm paying you for, or it's back to the streets with those other cretins where you belong!" She noticed Wendi in the room and then beamed, "Oh, hey," she took a sip of the beverage gingerly, "Hazelnut? What's wrong with that reject? Can't even order me the right drink!" she tossed the cup to the ground where it splattered, "Oops," she shrugged her shoulders, "Are you the janitor? Best clean that up, chica."

Wendi slightly smiled, taken aback by the girl's bipolar nature, "No, I'm auditioning... just like you, I guess. You're the artist formerly known as L'il Kay... yeah?"

Kayla beamed again, "Yeah, my agent wants me to broaden my resume, so here I am. In Zimbabwe of all places!"

"This isn't Zimbabwe..."

"Oh, it isn't? No matter as long as I get the part!"

"What part are you going for?" Wendi asked, suddenly nervous, "A swing?" she sneered.

Kayla laughed it off, "No, I've been auditioning on and off for that green mutant or whatever. I hear it's pretty vocally demanding, but I'm SURE you've heard some of my singles: 'Baby Baby Bandana Banna,' 'Please Don't Ever Break My Heart Or I'll Put a Knife in Your Back.'"

Wendi rolled her eyes, "Oh, yeah. I was at one of your concerts... I wasn't impressed."

Kayla stuck her nose up in the air, obviously offended by Wendi's honesty; Wendi grinned mischeviously. "Good God, I can't stand musical theatre," Kayla complained, tapping her foot impatienty.

"Then why are you auditioning?" Wendi was truly dumbstruck.

"Who are you again? Oh, la critique," Kayla fumbled around in her giant Versace purse, trying to block out her rival's voice.

Wendi stared; had she just seen a banana wearing a goat's mask? She blinked and the vision was gone, There's something off about this town, she mused to herself as a few people auditioning for the ensemble were led out of the room.

"I can't wait to get this part," Kayla was now babbling; she took a swig out of a small flask which was engraved with a cursive 'L'il Kay,' and then shivered.

"That's not whiskey, is it?" Wendi was scandalized.

Kayla shrugged her shoulders, "It happens."

Wendi inched away from the dodgy diva, rather disturbed.

(please r/r! it's my first post at , and although i didn't write this chapter, i did provide some of the ideas, and i'm sure my fellow WoO members would love a review! :))
