I just read the revised edition that MTI posted and some of the new content is so bad. I understand changing some lines to keep the show current but some of the lyrics they changed makes no sense. Also cutting Stop and Fearless is an actual tragedy. A community theatre is producing the show in the spring and I was considering auditioning for it. But I think I’m going to pass. It’s like a completely different show. I know shows make changes during the licensing process and not everything is going to be the same as the Broadway/touring show. But I don’t know about this one.

I just had to drop out of my program and I have several mixed emotions. To be clear, I dropped before my arrival so I wasn’t penalized. I mainly dropped because my grandma had a small stroke and knowing that her health is declining and not being here for the holidays, it seemed like the only option. It also is going to be too expensive for me to go. Even working and saving isn’t going to be enough. Im also considered “old” in terms of the program. I’m already in my late 20s and I’ve read some things that the younger program attendees have said. I mean no harm when I say this, but I don’t want to deal with drama. From what I’ve read, it seems like a lot of the younger participants don’t want to be surrounded by older participants. I hate that that was a reason I had to turn down my offer.
I’ve already graduated so it would have been just for fun, but I just want to know I’m not making the wrong choice.
