This story reminds me of when I auditioned for The Lion King, my friend and I skipped class to go, she's been performing with them for about 10 years now

[@iven_editz]

Oh my gosh!! 10 years?? Congrats for your friend!! Are you doing any musical theatre now?

[@kirstenholder7270]

@@iven_editz She's amazing, I am so proud of her - she does ensemble, Nala, and Rafiki. I am currently looking for things to audition for, but mostly focusing on getting into medical school

[@mick4563]

@@kirstenholder7270 Wow! That's such a big role! I hope you get into medical school. I know the process isn't easy.

[@kirstenholder7270]

@@mick4563 Thank you so much, I have been working really hard, and hopefully it pays off.

[@riaynchristina]

why are we like this!!! we live for the torture hahahah! loved this audition vlog 💚 can’t wait to see wicked together!!

[@engruls06]

I LOVE this content! Your excitement bleeds through and makes me smile the whole video. I bought Wicked tickets for my mom and I and then covid hit and the show was canceled so I will absolutely be there for the next show and if you're in it...what a PLUS!

[@palomamalfavon]

Aww thank you!!! ily! 🥰🩷

[@Mgattone]

Went to the open call in Chicago last week!! One of the best experiences in theater I’ve had. There were over 800 people seen and I was #95!

[@palomamalfavon]

Aww that is amazing!! 💚 look at you chasing your dreams!!! Rooting for you!

[@kwilma2002]

Way to go for continuing to show up for yourself and your dreams! 💚

[@palomamalfavon]

💪🥰

[@courtney104]

that line looked craaaazyyyyy 🥵 i have no idea how you lasted out there for 5 hours, i would've been a wreck after 3! props to you and i'm glad you got to have that experience!! 💜

[@christinamidnight]

So glad you got a turn to audition!! That is wild how long the waits can be but fingers crossed for you P. 🙌🏽

[@erin07697]

I love that eclipse story! This content is so good. Love to see how this whole process works!

[@cora6434]

I finally got done with my studying for today, so now I‘m snuggled up in bed with ice cream and your new vlog🤭 The queue looked insane! I felt nervous just watching the footage💀 The fact that there’s so much stress and pressure and you still delivered!!! It‘s so fun to follow your journey🫶🏻

[@clay_walks]

Oh hey! I was at this call, too!!😊 I got there right before 10:00am (dang that line was a lot lol…) Thankfully I managed to get on a list they had and the people next to me in line were really nice and great to talk to. I got to be seen after almost three hours, but it was worth it! Overall a fun time!

[@brooke9895]

The minute I saw this video and your were auditioning for Wicked I was like ‘IF YOU DO NOT CAST MISS PALOMA AS GLINDA I WILL CRY’ GO PALOMA! Chasing your dreams encourages me to chase mine thank you for being you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@the.emmashow]

Ahh going to the Chicago open call - this was so helpful!! Also I loved how you went into detail about how it worked🤩

[@palomamalfavon]

Break legs!!! 💚

[@danicanuqui]

My friend also went to that open casting call! She had the same experience as you, getting there before 10 and waiting 5+ hours until being seen. I'm glad you still had a good experience even though it was long and hectic. Hope you hear back from them!!!

[@BroadwayGuy]

I don't know you, but I am so PROUD OF YOU!!! And other hopefuls like you!!! Whether you get a call back or not, YOU DID IT!!! YOU GO, GIRL!!!

[@Christinemusical48]

I love this, Im an actress just starting out and so scared to start auditioning. I know this isn't how they all go but it's nice to see different types of auditions and what to kind of expect for an open call. Best of luck on your journey! Routing For you!!

[@Maryaliece-o3x]

Hopefully you’re in college… a lot of opportunities come from there….. cold auditioning is so much rougher…

[@Maryaliece-o3x]

Get an agent….A GOOD ONE! If you’re good, it doesn’t have to be this hard.

[@NostalgiaCringe]

LOVED getting all the details!!!! So crazy! My retired theater heart is so happy for you 🩷🩷

[@palomamalfavon]

once a theater spirit, always one 🩷 🥰

[@Maryaliece-o3x]

This is why I never had a shot…… no patience! lol!

[@hbhalcomb]

I love you! You’re so uplifting.

[@palomamalfavon]

Love you!! Thank you for being here 🫶🏼

[@peggyknecht5551]

Reminds me of when I auditioned for my local theater group. Oh, the torture of waiting for your number to come up. What we do for love!

[@ceciliaac_]

Absolutely amazing!!! 💚💚💚💚 so fun to see this!

[@regina_agl]

in Mexico City we have an app for the parking meter and it's so useful bc helps you in situations like this

[@Jenalamah]

Dang! Feels like waiting in line for Disney rides lol

[@KT-sq2ml]

I truly love sharing & hearing others’ experiences so pretty please keep it up! BTW I saw Wicked in Australia this week with a completely different cast this time & I was super impressed! Now I’ve seen it in London & “Oz” a few times - it’s got to be in the US next 💚💚💚

[@shaniajuzil]

This was so helpful! Did you have to bring an equity card for the audition? It’s my first time auditioning for anything in general, this will be for their Chicago casting call. I am not a member of AEA

[@reesekeyser131]

💚 actually dying!!!!

[@elphabathropp2818]

I'm going to the Chicago call. Does anyone have any song suggestions or other advice? I'm 18 with a very high belt, I'm primarily going for Elphaba or Nessa

[@-Angelmaire]

Id love to see what you use for your curls I kinda want to bring my curls back

[@britthalaas]

My friend may work tech on the tour for Wicked!

[@Wolfer1985]

Was The Telsey Office who you auditioned for?.

[@OrlyC]

Reminds me of my open casting call for Les Miserablesin college, after 9 hours of waiting, Cattle call and I am darker skin, so 0 thanks we will call you if interested. My fave way of saying no. Lol. I did however get cast for a wicked talent Show for a speaking role in Wicked the musical. So things happen for a reason, and now look what you did. Wish I could have seen you in legally blonde.

So did you get a ticket?

[@hancycanchola6991]

Did you get the parking ticket? Hope not

[@brookereed2508]

You remind me of Olivia Valli!

[@Empoweredwoman1234]

They should get people to audition first by sending a home video rather than cattle calling. So stupid.

[@westlosangeleschildrenscho2619]

You probably won't listen to my advice but....I would advise you not to say the word 'like' in practically every sentence you speak. Just sayin'.....and of course wishing you good luck in your career!
