Yea, first year of highschool I auditioned for killer queen, and a bunch of older girls said ‘wow... how bold of you!’ Some were genuinely supportive... other weren’t. I got a call-back for the role but it was ultimately scrapped because the school apparently couldn’t afford the production. (I’m now in year ten (two years left of school) and they haven’t done a production since 🙃) it’s sad

There was this one little girl who was about 8 and had a 30 second quick change into a new dress and a wig. I felt so bad for her because she struggled so much with it and the directors had to cut her from one of the dances to give her more time ON OPENING NIGHT. We ran through that part and just saw that there was no way for her to do it and I felt so bad that she learned the dance and didn’t get to do it, but she was an awesome singer so it was so worth it.

[@hermione1720]

Aaaw thats kind of sad but happy at the same time 😕

[@xoxochar_]

See that dramatic quick change you have to do it fast bc u need time to spare. In Peter Pan I was a brave girl and smee and they legit have 10 seconds in between scenes and lots of people were a pirate and a brave girl soooooo

[@kidkrowtaylor.ৎ]

Funny story: I played Penny in Hairspray Jr. when I was 8, and I needed a change 1 minute long into a different dress. I learned the dance but only got to do half of it! And the guy who played Seaweed was 11 and he was also kinda mean. And then we had to fake kiss like 6 inches away! But at least the girl playing the lead(Tracy) was 15 years old and also, I had a crush on the guy who played Link.

[@caril.9384]

Ooh my first show (Honk Jr.), I played Henrietta, but cuz our cast was small, I also was ensemble. I had an insanely quick quick change to get out of my froglet costume and into my blizzard costume, plus modify my makeup a bit. Opening night, I run on late because of that quick change

[@glossyraspberries9124]

In 6th grade, we were doing Singin’ in the Rain. I, featured ensemble, had to do an about 45 second quick change from a very hard to get on and off sparkly dress into another dress for the last scene of the show. I had lines in the scene. But I was ALWAYS late. That sparkly thing was the hardest thing to unbutton. They had to cut out the change the REHEARSAL BEFORE OPENING NIGHT. I was lost on stage because I didn’t know where the people who didn’t change were supposed to be. I’ve gotten better since then lol.
