Western Stage is now holding auditions for La Llorona. Two of the singers I worked way back in 2005 will be auditioning. It an exciting process but also a bit frightening. Being that I'm not producing the production, I don't have to much of a say as to how it will be cast. It's not easy to accept this fact. I have been working on this project for sooo long, it's hard to give up control but it is inevitable.
I trust Western Stage so I'm sure it will be fine.
I'm still working on the orchestration. Writing it for a 12 piece ensemble is tricky. I hear a 40 piece ensemble, but that is not musical theater.
