Rumor control.
Tue, 16 Aug 2011, 04:06 pmI want to put to rest the rumor that John Senczuk has cast himself as the lead and his choreographer in a principal role in Blood Brothers. This is categorically wrong. I have no idea where the rumor that some crazy director as cast themselves and their choreographer to play inappropriate roles came from.
That's good to hear

Well that's good to hear. I don't think the production team of a particular show should be able to cast themselves as principal roles. It rather makes the audition process a bit of a farce. How can you justify giving the role to the same person who took part in judging all the others going for the same role?
People spend time & effort preparing for auditions, and to find out that there was no real opportunity for them to obtain that role is frustrating and unprofessional.
If a role is pre-cast then people should be made aware of that from the start so as not to get their hopes up, and to give them the opportunity to audition for another role, or another show entirely if the role they are looking to play is no longer up for grabs.
