[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most boys are in the party scene, and are often triple cast because there is usually a shortage of boys. In prior years there have occasionally been very little boys who were made bees. There are also always a few small boys who are cast in the fisherman scene in the second act, which is a featured role, but those boys are usually also in the party scene. For boys the audition process is much less fraught than for girls, but Nutcracker season can be very long for them.

I agree with this - a boy will almost certainly be in the party scene, and might be double cast within an individual show. It is a seller's market for boy dancers! If your goal is stage time/experience, I think it's amazing, but to the PP's point, extremely exhausting.

Also - I am not sure that Friday is for sure the day. WE were told at auditions mid-week and another friend was told Wednesday.

Every other year that we've participated, it's been Wednesday after the rehearsal. However, most other years, rehearsals started in this coming weekend, as opposed to having a weekend off.
