When the show was announced, everyone I knew told me that they already knew what part I was going to get: the scarecrow. This included my family, Mrs. S, and even a lot of my friends. I disagreed, and thought that the role was practically cast with someone else already, but I listened to them. I let them get my hopes up.
The first round auditions came. I did pretty well. I personally thought that it was one of my best auditions ever. When the callbacks were posted, it was just a list. No parts were announced initially. We all were in suspense for quite a long time, but everyone had convinced me that I had to be called back for the Scarecrow.
When we found out what parts we were actually called back for, I learned that I had not gotten called back for the Scarecrow. In fact, I don't think I was ever in consideration. As I had practically known the whole time, the part was practically pre-cast.
Part 2: Anything Goes
When the show was announced, everyone I knew told me that they already knew what part I was going to get: Evelyn Oakleigh. This included my family, Mrs. S, and even a lot of my friends.

In summary...
It's just annoying. Even when I know that I stand no chance, I let everyone get my hopes up. I haven't gotten a decent part in a long time, and everyone makes me think that it's my chance to get there again. As I told RH, I just want a chance to show the directors that I'm something other than a dancer.
