And I just wanted to create a little bit of a life raft myself as a Black, gay man to try to just get through the day.

Margo Channing (Alto, Middle-aged, moves well) A veteran performer - a very demanding role. Audition Preparation Suggestions For Applause Many characters, including chorus, in Applause must have strong dance ability in jazz/tap. Margo comes to realize that it is not her fame that makes a happy life, and reconciles with Bill. Eve makes a pass at Margo's fiance, and eventually wins a Tony of her own. Eve ruthlessly climbs the hierarchy, weazeling her way into position as Margo's understudy. Eve appears to want to be Margo's friend but soon it becomes apparant that she wants to be Margo.
One night Margo Channing meets Eve, her "biggest fan". The story of Applause is similar to that of 42nd Street, but with the audience's sympathy directed the other way.
