Theater kid issues

By Belle - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - United States - Berwyn

Today, all of the long hours I've spent rehearsing paid off because tonight I'll be the lead at the opening show of my school musical. This is a dream come true. Too bad I just got bronchitis. FML

Rest in peace is something you tell someone in condolences of their loss, completely inappropriate in this case.

Can you contact them and ask them to extend the date?

They wouldn't just change the date because the lead got bronchitis. This is why they have an understudy, so the show can go on if the lead is in a situation where they can't perform.

A LOT goes into producing a play. 1 actor being unavailable is not enough to change the date. Nor should 1 person expect everyone else to change plans for them.

Get well soon, OP. Another opportunity will likely present itself.

Damn, that's very unfortunate OP. Keep working hard I'm sure someone will notice and the next time there's an opportunity give it your best again!

Is that an intended pun or just a mistype. I hope for your sake you mistyped
