I'm thinking of living in Irvine with a friend this summer, and would love it if BPB had auditions when I'll be down there.

(And to think Orgoch always tells me I'M the stupid one!)

Just 'cause they hire a new cast a dancers in Florida don't mean they'd be willin' ta go 'n make a whole new bunch a floats fer Dizzy M&M's, too! I swear!! Ev'ry time ya think yer smart ya goes 'n says somethin' dummer than ever!

Originally Posted By lesmisfan no, not this time around.

I just figured, i am keeping my new job for now then doing the play, then i wanna see what i can do about working at disney whether entertainment or regualar job in the parks.

Originally Posted By SuzyMouse Yes, it is possible to do both Parade and Dreams and EP, or Block Party and EP or POD and Fant! or Block Party and Fant!
