Please cross your fingers for KangaBoy on Monday ..... He has an audition for Les Miserables in West End

DS has been asked to go for an AUDITION on Monday

For the part of GAVROCHE

This is the first Audition he has ever done

MarsLady told us about the cheap tickets for the west end and we took him to see LES MISERABLES and he was hooked

Sleepy Jess sent us some CDs as well.

Please have your fingers crossed on Monday for him.

Thank you

Any news, how did it go?????

Gobbledigook · 16/05/2005 12:18

Fingers are crossed!! (makes typing rather tricky!)

Gwenick · 16/05/2005 12:22

ooo - only just seen this - bit late for 'good luck' as he'll have just finished his audtion.

But congratulations for getting as far as you have Kangaboy - even if this is as far as you've got - a great achievment!

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 13:39

Well we are back

Unfortunatley DS didn't get the part

But he is very excited that he got to go on the stage and see the barricades and Javert's bridge, the red flag the gates to Valjean's house, the Bishop's table and lots more

Unfortunatley DH and I didn't get to go on the stage

He had a DEFFO BRILL time this morning though.

So we are going to book for him to the LES MIS KIDS CLUB on a saturday morning and then to the show in the afternoon

Sorry he didn't get the part, but sounds like he had a great time there today.

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 13:45

Thanks he has just gone back to school

He was very excited when he came back to waiting area about all that he had seen

I could tell straight away that he hadn't got the call back cos he wasn't carrying a letter so didn't need to ask but he was so pleased that he had seen so much

We are both so proud of him for trying

well done for getting to the audtions in the first place - sounds like he really enjoyed it - and as they say "the only way is up" from here

MarsLady · 16/05/2005 13:53

sorry that we won't see his debut just yet, but really glad that he's had a lovely time!

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 13:55

Thanks

It is very strange feeling for not getting it

But pleased with him for trying

And pleased with his reaction and excitement at all he has seen

Sorry he didn't get the part but it's fantastic that he was offered the chance to audition. He sounds like a very talented young man.

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 14:22

Thanks CT we are just proud that he did his best.

And that he took on the personality of GAVROCHE ie confident and cocky rather than being shy

WigWamBam · 16/05/2005 14:23

Sorry he missed out this time, but it sounds like he's had a really exciting experience and gained a lot from it.

He'll get there one day

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 14:25

Thanks WWB

Yes and am glad he still wanted the CD on in the car coming home

He sounds like he has a wise head on young shoulders! He has obviously had a wonderful time and hopefully will get "the part" at his next audition.

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 14:33

Thanks yoyo

Going to get him from school now

OP posts:
WigWamBam · 16/05/2005 15:01

Give him a big hug and tell him we're all proud of him too, Kanga

GRMUM · 16/05/2005 15:07

well done to ds for trying and being happy and enjoying the experience rather than getting upset at not getting the part. Especially well done to mum and dad who have brought him up with this attitude. He will go far!

SleepyJess · 16/05/2005 15:18

Oh WOW Kangamummy have only just seen this!!! I think Kangaboy is a real star.. what an experience to audition for Les Mis!! My kids love all the music as well, but no way would they have the confidence to audition!!! (Or the ability sadly, lol..although DD is a cracking little dancer!)

I have hardly listened to my cds since I missed out on going because of the snow in March.. .. still not over the disappointment!! SCREAM EMOTICON!!!!.. but DD is always making me sing Castle On A Cloud (badly!) with her anyway!

I am SO in awe of your Kangaboy...! Don't blame you for being proud! Glad the cds are being put to good use

SJ x

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 16:29

Thanks guys

Ds has seen this thread and is thrilled that you all sent him ++++ vibes and hugs

Have given him his mumsnet hugs

Thank you so much for taking the time to wish him good luck or "break a leg" and then the hugs after we have come home.

The children in his class were asking him about it when he got to school.

I phoned his Granny and Grandpa and they were proud of him too for his attitude

We are coming down to earth now

SJ hopefully you will get tickets to go in the summer when MarsLady tells us about the cheap tickets again

OP posts:
RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 18:57

HM and LGJ

Here you go

And mega thanks for asking

OP posts:
LGJ · 16/05/2005 19:01

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

What a shame, still he sounds very balanced. just like his Ma

He deserves a Chinese takeaway for that...it was Chinese you told me to say Kangaboy wasn't it

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 19:03

LGJ Thanks

MarsLady · 16/05/2005 19:05

As soon as I get the date for the summer tickets I'll post. I promise! Normally know about mid June the date the ticket line opens in July. And when I say the lines are open then you'd better get in quick. Kids go free at the end of August and last year was extended to the first week of September as well. Brilliant!
