AUDITIONING FOR BROADWAY IN NYC! MY BROADWAY EXPERIENCE

[@jesusloveyouxoxo]

I love how supportive your parents are!! Sorry you didn’t get to audition. 😩

[@Shadaee]

I had to do the same thing for lion king musical and Hamilton I had to send a video because they were only seeing equity members, you should definitely check out theaters here in Georgia they help you with how to get your equity card

[@purplealpaca4995]

Omg you auditioned for Hamilton! That’s so cool! 🤩

[@averyharris4340]

how do you get your equity card?? like what do you have to do?

[@Shadaee]

your mom you have to be a member of a sister union “SAG, AFTRA or AGMA or sometimes if you get an employment that’s under an Equity Contract they will have you get a membership but I only recommend applying for Equity if you are able to afford to pay the equity membership fees. The fees are extremely expensive

[@averyharris4340]

Angel Shadaè ohhhh i see, thank you!!

[@annaleighholloway8171]

So sorry you didnt get to audition. I have learned it's best to stay even if you get a time slot in the morning. You go girl!

[@rachelgregory4359]

I'm so glad to have a fun, christian youtuber to watch. Thank you so much for all of your videos!

[@maddy00]

Rachel Gregory I agree!

[@violet8248]

[@felisabrown4311]

[@avagule4967]

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry about not being able to do an in person audition! Especially after flying all the way there! Best of luck, Allie!!

[@MeowyMakes]

[@moonloxx2986]

Look at my cookie 😂🤣😂😂 I died loll

[@ryannp9872]

WOW, Allie! Thats so awesome. I'm a junior in hs and I'm so nervous but excited for college.

[@shirleymiranda9237]

How did you find the audition?

[@jaimebh30]

I hope your video audition goes well! Are you going to try and perform in any plays outside of school? Maybe Athens has a theater.

[@bb_6590]

[@mariavlogz8308]

[@magicianrexofficial]

Wicked is such a great show!! Literally after my audition, I went to see Wicked haha!

[@aaliyahstarr1579]

Your mom's accent is so cute

[@abbieamavi]

awh, and so sorry you didn't get to audition!! but the last min tickets to Wicked was so cool! I was going to do that with my sisters, how long did you wait and was it worth it?? :)

[@rubbyycruz]

So sad you didn’t get to audition. What’s an equity member though?

[@caliolshefski7978]

Ruby An equity member is part of a Union that protects actors rights. When you’re an actor, you have to be in a certain amount of shows that are part of the union to earn your points to get your card. The shows that you see on Broadway mainly have equity members in it. When you audition for professional or broadway shows in NY, they normally have equity members audition first, then people that are part of the union and working to earn their points is next and then normally people that are non-equity are last to be called. Sometimes, when the casting directors run out of time, they sometimes turn the non-equity actors away. I hope that this made sense lol :)

[@averyharris4340]

Cali Olshefski so, does that mean that you have to be in a certain amount of shows that’s not like, new york shows or let’s say, Hamilton, they were casting people with equity cards first, you get an equity card by being in a certain amount of shows then they’ll cast you first well let you audition first if you have an equity card?

[@margaretrussell9504]

Do a collab with Danielle Marie Carolan!!

[@gecko4726]

What’s equity? Xx

[@leslieinawholenewworld6608]

So I’m from Germany and I kinda don’t get it. What’s an equity card?

[@AllieMerwin]

Basically an actors union so that actors who have worked in lots of shows get first priority!

[@happyfeet262]

whats weird is i literally watched you film the wicked part!! i was right behind you and tried to find this video! haha

[@amyafel8571]
