Phantom of the Op'ry

I enjoy doing theater, Scott enjoys me not doing the theater. It takes up tons of time and usually it is at night and with strange people so I can see why he is not thrilled with my love of acting. Plus the last few shows I was in I had the romantic lead which involved stage kissing and hugging to which I would hear Scott gulp in the audience. I have not done a show for awhile and I heard they were having auditions for a Stake Musical so I thought it might be good as I surly won't have to kiss someone else and it will be a nice clean family show and not take up to much time. Scott was not sold, he thinks they say it will only be once per week rehearsals but in reality we will do it non stop.
I have been waiting for over a month to hear if I have a role. I think auditions were Feb 6th. They had ordered 4 scripts. 1 ended up being for children. 2 they had to get permission to change a few things due to us being a church group (which they declined us changing the swearing), and the other the script still hasn't shown up. They did not say what play it would be, just had us audition with a short song, reading and dance.

I just found out which play it was, here is a description:

Gaston Leroux's famous mystery restaged as a comedy spoof of outrageously funny characters. The star of this flacky Op'ry House is Carlotta Barracuda, who will stop at nothing to prevent the lovely Christine Swansong from singing. Enter the Phantom! Christine will replace Carlotta, or else! Lots of suspense and laughter! Tim Kelly’s version of the Phantom tale is an unapologetic melodrama. This is a first-rate spoof of Gaston Leroux’s novel, written by a playwright and lyricist who both have a quick wit and some very sharp knowledge regarding not only the Phantom story itself, but also the fandom that has grown up around it. Forget Broadway! Forget Paris! This musical restaging beats them all for laughs. The flaky Op'ry House is located in Skunk Creek, Nevada! There's fun aplenty as the phantom laughingly makes a star of "too good to be true" Christine Swansong, who dreams of a musical career. But star attraction Carlotta Barracuda will stop at nothing to see that she doesn't get it. However, the spooky phantom's goal is to see that Christine will replace Carlotta... or else! What is the phantom's dark secret? Will he strike again? Musical show stoppers add to the intensive spark of this show, including "I Enjoy Being a Ghoul," "Absent With Leave" and "Patrons of the Arts." Besides the great solo and ensemble songs and wonderful comedy dance opportunities, you'll love the outrageously entertaining characters. This is a proven, surefire show.

Imagine my shock when I walked in and heard "There is our lovely Christine". I knew I would get a part, I thought a funny part. It is funny part and not the original. Well, then the stress set in. I had thought they would cancel the show so I had purchased plane tickets to take Kelsie on a special 8 year old birthday trip to California. I had told Scott if he was totally against it I would not do it. Yet I really wanted to do it. So after some tears, Scott said of course I could do it!!! If any of you are in Sandy on April 23, 24 or 25 and like a musical melodrama I know of one:)
