Real Life Auditions and Musical Expectations

Justin
If I could sing a lick, I would. But I can't. And I hate myself everyday because of it.
Tommy
I know. But if you think this is just some high school club where you can sing and dance your way through any social issue... Or confused sexuality, you have come to the wrong place. There is none of that here. That's high school. This shit is real life. Now, don't just bring it, sing it, and let's do this.
