In honor of the #wickedmovie release, me 11 years ago auditioning for Boq in the Mexican cast. I got really far in the process but didn’t get it, such is the biz.

This video literally feels like a lifetime ago but today I feel just as giddy as I did back then when I saw the show for the first time.
