The Callback
I walked into the callback and scoped out my competition. 39 people. Of the 39, 32 were women. No competition there. 7 men were left. Fat kid. Nice voice, but untrained. Cliched long-haired theatre kid. Again, no competition. 3,4 & 5 showed up at the dance part of the callback in sneakers. Not dancers and as soon as they opened their mouths it was obvious that they were not singers, either. I sized up number 6. He had the face for a serious singer but he was wearing shorts and sandals. Singers do not wear shorts and sandals to a callback. Not a dancer either. Number 7 made it painfully aware that he was not a singer or dancer. I knew that I had the lead even before I sang. I opened my mouth and removed all doubt.
