Touring Cast of HAIR!!!!

Hey y'all. I don't know if I mentioned this, but a few weeks ago I had an amazing opportunity to work and have a talkback session with the Touring USA/Canada Cast of HAIR!!!
This is one of the cast members (and some photo bombers) afterward.


The cast really did have some great things to say about theatre and life on the road. This was especially entriguing for me because I have ALWAYS wanted to go on a broadway tour for a few years. That would be a dream come true. Here are some of their main points about Life on the Road and Touring and And actor is life in general:

Colleges are important but following your dream is more important, so if you get the opportunity, take it.

Don't take it personally.

At dance calls, don't 

This is my opportunity to dance, to act, to do what I love. It alleviates the pressure of being awesome for every audition.

DO EVERYTHING. Tech etc

Go into an audition and show your personality


Use a monologue that shows attributes of yourself....directors want to 


Don't just say words.... Each word means SOMETHING. find out what it means for you.

Don't apologize 

No place for ego.





BUT. Don't forget about shrek!!!! We open in 2 weeks and I am freaking out!!! Things are finally coming together. :)
