A Dream not
Made to Be Broken
For children all over the world, it's a dream come true: a starring role in an award winning Broadway show. The singing, the dancing, the costumes. The signing of autographs and the applause at the end of each show. This is what Angelina wanted more than anything but she was never going to get a chance seeing as she lived half way across the world from where many people became famous, Broadway. But can she get to the next best thing? Can she actually get a part in the hottest new Broadway Musical?
This is my first fan fiction so any advice would be great.
I do not own the Character's who are portrayed in the play e.g., Nala and Simba. I also do not own anything that is related to the Broadway Musical or the movie. But I do own Angelina, Paige and Morgan so far.
Ps Anyone who gives a review will be added into the story. Either as an Actor, Dancer, Stage Manager, Make up artists, Press, (or people who know some of the cast members:) etc
Thanks Hope you like the story:)
Angelina looked over at the clock in the classroom room wall almost an hour had passed from when her last class for the day had started. In a few minutes she hoped that the bell would ring as she wanted to go and check the notice board outside the main office to see if anything had been put up regarding audition's for school play's or better yet another musical that was going to be coming to Sydney. She had always wanted to be an actress even when she was a little kid who could barely talk. But now she knew that she could defiantly have a chance as now she had been enrolled in a special acting school that allowed children to keep up with their schoolwork aswell as their other acting commitments.
Once the bell had gone she waited for her friend, Paige to meet her outside her class so they could work home together. They only lived a few houses apart so they had decided it would be good to work home together aswell.
'Hey Angelina'
'Hey Paige, Do you mind if we go and looked over at the notice board before we go home? I really want to have a look in case their is something new'
"Yeah sure I might have a look aswell. Seeing as I have finished the other play aswell," Paige said and than started to walk along the hallways. Paige had been in a few different plays either for school or for an actual company. The last one she had been in had just finished a few months earlier and now she was looking forward to trying again for a new job.
'I really want to be in a musical but there are never any good parts for me. The part is for either someone older than me or for a younger person.' Angelina sighed she had never been in a play let alone a musical's wished she could have been like her friend. Paige had been in many plays including Miss Saigon.
'You'll find something soon I promise' Paige said, She knew how upset Angelina was because when she had started acting she would always be the one who was left out as all the other kids in her class had already been in play or a TV show. But when se had been about 6 she had had her first play. She had played one of the munchkins in the wizard of oz d than she had started to play other roles aswell.
They walked the rest of the way in silence. Both mixed up in their own thoughts. Angelina wandered if she would ever be in play. She had been trying for many parts but never got anywhere. She knew that she had no experience though but she knew that if she was given a chance she could try.
Once they had reached the noticed board they both read some of the new plays that were coming to Sydney and ones that the school was going to be performing. Angelina than walked over to the right side of the board and looked at the auditions that were being held in the school and auditions that were being held for other plays that were coming to Sydney.
'Hey Angelina look what's coming to Sydney this spring' Paige pointed to one of the notices and Angelina walked over to her friend and started to read the Flyer:

'Wow. I cant believe its going to come here' Paige said as she looked over at Angelina who was back over at the auditions list. Paige got no reply from her friend' Angelina? Hello?' Paige still got no answer so she walked over to see what her friend was staring at. It was a flyer saying that The Lion king was going to be audition for young kids with lots of talent to play the energetic Lion cubs, Simba and Nala.

Angelina was very interested in the audition as she was just young enough to audition for the role of Young Nala. They company were asking for kids who were between 9 to 12 years old and Angelina had just turned 12 so she knew that at least she was old enough to try for the role.
'Yeah I know I'm going to ask my parents if I can try out. Cause they are looking for young kids between 9 and 12 and I just turned 12 on July the 21st.'Angelina said and picked up one of the flyers that were pinned next to the audition sign and than put it in her bag. She wanted to show her mother when she got home.
'Yeah that is true and you have got alot of the requirements that they are wanting aswell, which is good. I might pick up a flyer aswell seeing as I might try for Young Nala aswell' Paige leaned over and grabbed the sheet of paper and than put it in her bag.' Come on our mother's are probably freaking out about where we are'
'That is true. We better go ' Angelina said and than turned around to the main school doors. She flicked her black hair out of her face and than waited for Paige to catch up. Both girls left the school than turned right once they had left the school grounds and than started to talk about the auditions.
'Hey guys wait up'
Angelina and Paige turned around and saw their friend running towards them. She was carrying a pink piece of paper that seemed to look like the same one that they had picked up about The Lion King audtions.' What's the piece of paper about?'
'Well I was just reading the school notice board and I saw that The Lion king was coming to Sydney in October. So I looked at the audition board and saw that there are two children's roles. Young Simba and Young Nala and they are going to be having auditions in about a week for both of them so a grabbed a sheet.' Morgan than handed the piece of paper to her friends to let them read it.
Angelina and Paige just laughed and than handed the piece of paper back to Morgan who didn't know what was so funny.' You know me ad Paige picked up the same sheet of paper. We both want to audition aswell 'Angelina said and than smiled.
'Imagine if we all got in. That would be really good' Paige said but than realised that it would probably never happen seeing as hundred's of kids would be trying for the roles of the Young cubs.
'If only that could happen. Well we better get home. CIA guy's tomorrow. I'll call you later Paige aswell' Angelina waved good bye to her friend's and than started to walk up the stairs of her house. She didn't have to knock on the door cause her mum was already waiting for her.
