On wednesday evening, I competed for a chance to become part of the Los Angeles cast of Wicked.  I worked really hard and put together an amazing rendition of The Wizard and I and then the moment I walked up on stage, all composed thought flew straight out of my head.  I still gave it my all, pulled my heart out of my chest and left it sitting on that stage.  And to my dismay, I will not be in the show (some other talentless hack was chosen, although he will be competing against someone else with an amazing voice who absolutely deserved to be there, so good luck buddy..I'm not bitter or anything.)  The point of all of this is it took me 8 years to try it all over again, and first and foremost I made it into the top 50 (out of over 1000 entries) and I was able to perform again like the last time I had done it was yesterday.  One of the judges told me I had an "enchanting disney voice, like I was one of thier animated characters".  So maybe that's where I'll go from here.  Goodbye Wicked Witch of the West, I'll miss you, hello Cinderella, glad to make your acquaintance.  (oh..and if anyone's interested in actually watching my performance, it's on youtube.  Look for Wanna be wicked..)
