Willy Wonka Casting

I apologize this wasn't up sooner - I had no internet over the weekend, so had to wait until I got back in town to post.

I am so excited about this play.  I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and the fact that so many of you were willing to step out of your comfort zone and try out even when it meant doing so would make you a little vulnerable!  That being said - this has been one of the most difficult plays to cast.  Lots of parts and lots of talented students.  I apologize if you did not get your first choice - but lots of thought and prayer has gone into this to try and make it the best production possible and put everyone in the right spot.  The person in parenthesis will be the understudy  - meaning, they should at least become familiar with the songs and lines in case something happens and the person cast can't perform...
