Do I have a chance at being Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast ?

WELLLLLLLLLL... First, to solve the Chip thing, I just saw a production of Beauty and the Beast and Chip was played by a freshman girl, so, maybe he thought it was harsh because that may just be how he sees things if he really wanted the role, but he'll realize that he wasn't right for it and get over it. Now... onto Cogsworth! I'd say definitely try for it even if there is controversy going on as to who would play the part better. They might even double cast (though this is rare) if they really can't make up their minds, but usually seniors get the roles regardless... Sad to say, but unless you're really a whole heck of a lot better than him yeahh... but this way, they know you're interested in a lead and ya know how high schools choose shows based on the kids they have for the roles, well they'll probably consider you when they're choosing the next show. ALWAYS GO FOR THE BEST! ...Just sayin :-) good luck!!
