Seems someone else is now getting a barrage of comments from wannabe starlets: http://www.thedramateacher.com/mary-poppins-to-come-to-australia/ (Hint: read the comments) It's sad that youngsters out there are so used to the internet now ('now'... man, I'm getting old...) that they can't spot the difference between a posted announcement/media release and an advert/casting call. Nor do they seem aware of the likehood of anyone actually caring whether or not they post on some random website; or think "hey, look 50 people who want to audition. I should get their info and have them come in!" ... Sigh... it looks like our work is never done.

Rein your horses in the Danny. Quite clearly the posting has been edited in light of a high number of posts asking for audition details so that comment about DON'T POST HERE was not there initially.

Still, one might say - but IT ISN'T AN AUDITION CALL!! and for those of us whom are older and wiser, yes, we can see that, yet for the younger of our population, the very mention of the word audition can cause fevers, spasms and uncontrollable shaking. Sounds like nasty disease really.

It would seem to me that most (not all) of the comments posted are from Younger people. Chances are that there is a future Anthony Hopkins, Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett, or even Kylie Minogue (how'd she get there?) among the list of posters that are still a little green, and under 15! :naughty: They just need a little ... time in the sun to ripen.

And what's this with changing the subject in mid post? ;-) Just stick to the topic!! You're distracting me :lol:
