-drumroll-
My good friends from Drama group (from England and Wales respectively) star as Mrs. Sowerberry and Oliver himself.
A good friend of mine (and Danny from last year's Grease) plays Mr. Bumble.
Last year's Sonny stars as Bill Sykes.
A friend of a friend (who is also my friend anyway) who also starred in Grease (chorus soloist) is Nancy.
My brother is none other than Jack Dawkins, Esquire (his best friend is Charlie Bates/Noah Claypole).
Another good friend (last year's Roger) stars as Mr. Brownlow.
And who am I?
Here's a hint:
"I'm reviewing the situation
And Fagin is the part that I shall play…"
Needless to say, I am over the moon. XD
When I saw the list at break time I literally did the whole (-gasp claps hand to mouth OMGOMGOMG-) routine. –facepalm- Then I noticed my friend who got Nancy and we did the jumping around squealing thing for a few seconds. –head desk- =P
I went to thank my director afterwards for casting me; she gave me a huge hug and thanked me. She said, and I quote, that my characterization was perfect and that she and the acting coach 'put [their] cards on the table and said 'It has to be her.''
Needless to say, I'm still in shock. I'd been expecting a small part considering the competition, and to get the part I've been dreaming of for such a long time…
Nothing can make me miffed now, not even Maths homework! XD
I want to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to all those who've supported me and will, I hope, continue to support me throughout rehearsals and onto performances. It will be a challenge, but I'm more than ready to face it.
