Blog 7: In my Own Little Corner

I definitely think I'm going to do Cinderella, especially since I remember a time when I was really involved in drama and musical theater and there was a teen production of Rogers and Hammerstien's Cinderella at a local theater. I tried out for the part of Cinderella, and even the director agreed that I had a better voice than the girl that got the part, but I was given the part of the fat stepsister because I didn't physically match the part of Cinderella. I've never been "a frail and fluffy beauty", so instead I got to sing the part of the "solid girl" in the Stepsister's Lament. I think that says something about the expectations of feminine beauty, right? I'm still unsure.
