Hello everyone. This is my first post, however I've been lurking ever since my audition as a dancer for the Rio handover. I'd intended to wait to see whether I got a role before joining this forum, but my excitement has got the better of me.
I met at least one TSR member at the audition (2pm May 26th). If you talked to an Englishwoman in a red T-shirt, who couldn't stop grinning because the audition was just fantastic fun - that was me.
Of course I'll be beside myself with joy if I get a role in the show. But whether I do or not, I feel that I'm already a (very small) part of this celebration, together with all the rest of you who've taken part in an audition as a dancer or drummer or production person.
PS For those of you who don't speak Portuguese, "O Samba vai vencer" means "The Samba will triumph". It's the first line of a beautiful samba by Caetano Veloso about peace, democracy and dancing in the streets.
