it's even harder than "hard AF" lol.
I like to joke that my callback for the quartet gave me a literal headache from the concentration it took - listening for pitch accuracy, blend, etc. I did luck WAY out. I remember arriving for the first rehearsal with them, knowing that they were all good musicians but knowing there would be a lot of careful plunking and slow work to be done - to discover that they already had much of the music leaned (!!) - they had been meeting on their own. 3 of them are still working in the biz now - a musical director (Steven Cuevas, most recently the MD of the Once On This Island tour), a wonderful regional/Broadway actor (Sam Simahk), and a songwriter/comedian (Camille Harris). They were FABULOUS! |
