Tupac the Musical, and Carly Rae Jepsen playing Cinderella?

This news is as weird as that time Tupac's hologram showed up at Coachella.

According to Vulture's Jesse David Fox "[t]he musical will tell the story of the families of two young friends in a present-day Midwestern inner-city." So it's not necessarily about "Tupac Shakur"'s life, but his music will be a part of the story, like Abba to Mamma Mia! The show is called Holler If Ya Hear Me, and will open in the Palace Theater on Broadway this June.

How not to ace an audition

Last year there was a casting call for a film fest at my university. So I was like, #YOLO and went to the audition.

All the women were given the same monologue to read out. The waiting room was packed full of girls mumbling lines under their breath and getting into character while I snacked on some bread rolls. I had confidence and a butter stain on my paper. I was ready.
