Hello everyone!
So I started about a month ago and have already lost 17 pounds. I still have about 65 to go until I get to where I want but the main reason I'm trying to lose is so I can get the parts I want in shows. Anyone have this in common?
Also, I may be going out on a limb here but is there anyone that does do musical theatre and started getting the parts after they lost the weight? It would be great to hear from you!!!

I'm an actress. I think in terms of casting, it has more to do with the director's vision and who else shows up as opposed to anything that you can control. Additionally, some of us will never be ingenues. That said, I got my first lead within a certain company exactly 2 weeks after I got a nose job.
I've gotten jobs because the production staff didn't want to work with more difficult actresses, and I've lost parts because they had made their decision before I stepped in there.0
