Does anyone remember what they were doing at 1:30 pm on November 19, 2005? I do - I was attending my first Billy audition!!!!  I was 10 years old, I weighed 61 pounds and stood 4’-6.5”, I had really short hair and a lot of baby teeth. I met Colin Bates that day  and we knew by the next day something big was happening for him (he was being sent to London).  I also met Stephen Daldry but I had no idea who he was when I rode down the elevator with him upon leaving that night. We thought it was significant that he said he’d see me the next day. On the ride home, we got a phonecall officially asking me to return for more auditioning the next day. My dad went to his computer and googled all he could on BETM and said “Hey Trent, that was the director you were chatting with - no wonder he knew he’d see you tomorrow!”
