I tried out to be elle woods for legally blond the musical.?

Question

i got the part bu im also incollege. do you think i should accept the part and try hard to keep up with my grades in college or refuse the part and keep on going to college?

Answer 1

Is it a community theatre production?  Can't you do the limited run and then go back to school in the fall?

Answer 2

Do the show. It is a great education.  It is only in the evenings, you have all day to be a student.  You can do it.  It isn't that exculsive a choice.

Answer 3

I'm assuming this is for the reality show?  Take the part.  The exposure is terrific. If, however, you plan on working in another industry, you need to consider whether or not you will need your degree.

If, you are a theater major, take the part.

Good luck!

Answer 4

If you've ALREADY been cast and DON'T accept the part, you can kiss any future acting opportunities goodbye.  It is EXTREMELY RUDE and INCONSIDERATE for you to waste the Director's (and everyone else's) time by refusing parts over which they probably spent hours debating and assembling.  Word travels FAST, and you will quickly become known as unreliable.  You should have considered your conflicts and concerns BEFORE auditioning.  Next time, if you can't make a commitment, don't bother auditioning.

I helped with a professional casting session years ago where an actress was IDEAL for a role.  The Director was very excited, but had never seen or heard of her, and asked if anyone on the staff had worked with her before.  I informed him that she had been cast in a show that I had done recently, but that she had dropped out after a couple weeks of rehearsals.  He immediately tore up her headshot and resume, tossed it behind him, and said, "If she'd quit someone else's show without notice, she'd quit mine too.  She's perfect for the role, and I'd love to use her, but I can't trust her."  I haven't seen her at another audition, or in another show, at any theatre around here since.

Answer 5

Isn't that always the way lol,having to choose either one or the other.Well,I mean,if you think you can get a better job with a college education,I would stay in college.But,musicals get a lot,and I mean a LOT,of publicity.So if musicals get publicity,people wonder who the main actors/actresses are and of course talent agents watch these musicals,this could really be a great start-off for theater,and from there on you will most likely be offered more acting parts if you take the musical,(Not saying you aren't a good actress and can't get more parts later on without taking the musical part.) .Plus,you can really go to college at any age,I've heard of 50 year olds going back to college later on in life.Hope that helped a little on your decision :] lol

Answer 6

KEEP THE PART!!  think about how good it will look on your resume!

Answer 7

Omigosh, I think you should definitely keep the part! That is a once in a lifetime offer :D it'd be so much fun!

Congrats! <3
