"bare, the musical" is a coming of age story of two high school seniors, Peter, a socially awkward loner, and Jason, the golden-boy popular jock. It depicts the reality of adolescence, as the youths struggle to find themselves amidst the pressures within their Catholic boarding school. They deal with their sexuality, their friendships and at the end of the year find themselves thrust into a world with more questions than answers.

Trash is for the garbage - not this site.

First of all - LEARN HOW TO WRITE!! If you're gonna leave a ridiculously unsubstantiated rant - oh, sorry, a 'comment' - you really shouldn't waste anymore of the bewilderd reader's time than you already have by making them re-read 'sentences' to figure out just what it is you're going on about.
Get your story straight. I don't personally see the point to this site if it has been reduced to "communal-bitch-session.com" - that's why i never go on here anymore. But when a ludicrous claim is made like that from an isolated source that "didnt even audition", i feel i should say something to put the record straight.
1. No parts were promised to anyone before auditions were held as far as i'm aware - everyone had the chance to 'show their stuff' in their individual auditions. If they lucked-out, too bad.
2. Tyler DID NOT get offered the part by "winge[ing] and moan[ing]" to Kristen, so therefore it was not a plausible reason for offering the part to him - they are Kristen's own and, i'm sure, perfectly validated reasons. (If you've seen Tyler perform, you'll know why they are validated :-))
3. I DO agree with you on one point:
"...this musical is vocal and you most definately have the voice to pull off the strongest part..."
A typo on your half? Probably. Is it true? Definitely!
4. It is obvious that the "2 WAAPA students that have been cast" believe that they are capable of balancing this production as well as their studies, otherwise they would never have auditioned. Ideally, the only thing 'WAAPA' will see is their commitment to their passion for Musical Theatre. They want people with talent, maturity & experience - i think that counts you out, doesn't it?
5. Well maybe not YOUR 'sour grapes', but i guess they don't fall far from the grapevine, so whoever's grapes they are, tell them to build a bridge and get over it.
Regardless, this production has quite a few talented cast members, and while the production may have something to prove to a few disbelievers out there, give it a f-ing chance!!! They've only just had auditions for crying out loud!
Next time - if anyone's gonna write something on this site, make it constructive, not personal.
