Need info about the play.

[thespian13]

Hey guys. I've never actually read the books or anything but I'm planning on trying out for the play version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I was wondering which charater I should try out for. I'm a 14-year-old female but I can look older or younger. Any help would be appreciated!

[legolas]

ok, i played susan, i was 5'2'' when i tried out, and was 5'3'' when the play was. what do you look like?? are you short or tall? than i can tell you what i think!

[she-elfwarrior19]

ahhh i remember those days, when my cuzzins would try out for the church plays, my cousin was the witch and she did superb( lol) and then my other cuzzin played. tumnus, hhmm is there anything particular you know your excellent at with play stuff? like can you be an animal, or a bad guy or something?

[waterhogboy]

A definite good thing to do would be to read the book. Its not long, and it can really help you get into character if you know about it and the history of Narnia...

[legolas]

ya, when we did the play we were required to read the book, listen to a tape/cd.

[borntofly]

yeah, and watch the BBC movie. it's good.

yeah, and watch the BBC movie. it's good.
You're kidding, right? :p

[Tarkheena_Finduilas22]

That would probobly discourage

Susan would be best I think. Or the witch.

[rosymole]

Don't you insult Aunty!!
No but seriously read the book, it's a very quick read and you can learn all yu need to about the characters from that, but if you need to learn more just read the rest of the book (coz they are v v v good!) and you'll far more character development from them.. can you tell us a little more about the play as I know nothing?!

Welcome also Thespian13, glad you chose this site to ask Q's of!

[legolas]

i love Susan!! (sry, fav charater seeing as i played her, and not in a gay way....)

[thespian13]

Ok well I'm 5'5" with brown hair and eyes. I'm told I'm a good actress... I've played everything from Dorothy to Lady Macbeth! Hope this helps! And I will definitely try to read the book!

Thanks guys!

[borntofly]

You're kidding, right? :p
I like those movies, even if they're SUPER corny. I thought the White Witch was good, or at least I did when I last watched them.

[waterhogboy]

Hmmmmm... watching the BBC movies might put you off playing Lucy for life!!!

[borntofly]

that's true. why did they ever choose taht girl to play her?

[waterhogboy]

Maybe they mistook one of the lines in the books for 'Lucy resembled a pregnant boar'. I dunno!?!?

[borntofly]

yep, they had some issues with the casting...

[she-elfwarrior19]

hahah the bbc lucy, that cracks me up.

[thespian13]

I'm so lost!

[inkspot]

I really just posted that disparaging remark about the BBC version to nettle all those folks who love it so much -- I have never seen it.

Thespian, they are just making fun of the BBC live-action TV version of the Chronicles.

[she-elfwarrior19]

sorry:( thespian i got a little carried away, lok back on to topic....

[borntofly]

I have never seen it.
YOu're not missing much.

[thespian13]

LOL ok... well it sounds like Susan is the role I should play... now I'm off to read the book! Any other help would be appreciated! Thanks guys :)

[legolas]
