First auditions
My First Audition, by David Drake. Playbill, June 3, 2005.

"There was a question if [Erin Dilly] could bring off Gypsy's striptease at the end, so Dilly went in 'bound and determined to prove I was a sexy girl, ready to make this grand statement. I worked out my own little very tasteful striptease to 'Naughty Baby' from Crazy for You where I showed just my shoulder, but when I was auditioning, when I dipped my shoulder, my entire dress fell to the floor. I stood there in my bra and my underwear, then I bent down in complete embarrassment and slowly pulled it back up and finished the song, my face beet-red, and then shuffled out of the room.' And, after all that, did she get the role? 'No! That's the kicker!'" [More]
