| Wow Ryan, these stories are really interesting and so in-depth. I think it's sad he slammed down the phone and didn't give you an explanation. You're best staying away from those people, because a working relationship with that kind of attitude won't work in my opinion. His heart wasn't in the right place either. You've had so many ups and downs but the most important thing is; you kept going. I respect you for that honestly. Open Auditions I completely agree with. > THANX. > I just noticed that I forgot to answer one of your > questions. > Yes, the impersonator was the same guy who would have > played the lead role in the musical, the same musical Adam > and I are now working on.
