Did anyone else get an audition for the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony?

Has this happened to anyone?

I came back from a holiday a few weeks ago and at passport control, when he scanned my passport. He said something along the lines of "ah you're doing the Olympics", to which I smiled like a big kid and said yes!! I was too excited to ask how he knew, but I'm guessing the security checks that the Olympics team do shows on the passport. Just wondered if this had happened to anyone else. He was pretty chatty with me, which was probably why he mentioned it.

Congrats to everyone that has been offered a place and those still waiting to hear, I'm sure good news will be coming your way very soon.

I'd allow about an hour and 15 minutes. There is supposed to be a shuttle bus going back and forth from the nearest station to 1:1 but not sure how long that will take (or what the wait will be) - or it's just under a mile to walk from station to venue.

Thanks for the update. Am I the loner "Not heard" from the 26th?

Flakeydom - I'm not sure what goes into the magical spreadsheet of yours, but as everybody seems to be giving you audition dates I thought that I'd join in the fun

Thanks for the update. Am I the loner "Not heard" from the 26th? I'm not sure what I'm officially classified as because I told them my circumstances and they wouldn't let me be a reserve for the Closing...then much later I got an e-mail saying I'd been relegated to a reserve since I hadn't accepted within the deadline.

Once again another days ends with no news here. As always it's nice to know I'm not the only one in this position thought. Please let the casting e-mail fairies bring us good news tomorrow.

Petitsyeuxbleus what are you trying to organise for the summer? Can it wait another week? I know it's excruciating but there surely can't be much waiting left, we're on the final leg and it would be great if you got to join all the successful applicants.

Hey there -
I just joined the site and am another person waiting for a response. I auditioned in February and had my call back at 10 am on Feb 19 (Sunday).

Was anyone else in that call back and still waiting?

AAAAHHHHH! snix99 I have just found an earlier post of yours which says they wanted "people with acting talent or those who looked "like we could push a cow over the moon". So that is why they need so many beefcake FOPPERS

Hi Deke, I was at the 10am recall audition too. I heard today that I am in 44-FOP, so the offers ARE still coming in....

Did someone say Beefcake??? I am evidently in the wrong section - in my group, I didn't spot anyone who looked as though they could push a cow...let alone over the moon.

I think someone on here said they were moved from 51b to 51a. The same thing happened to a friend of mine. She was told the move was to balance out the male to female ratio, but there would be no change to what she was doing. Although she said her rehearsals now start a day earlier than before.
