In August 2009, Beth Sobo was on vacation from her work as an international cruise ship performer and visiting her boyfriend in Portland, Ore. On a whim, she checked BackStage.com for acting opportunities in the area and discovered a casting notice for the musical "Gracie and the Atom" at Portland's Artists Repertory Theatre. Right then and there, she had, as she puts it, a gut moment, "when your fingers tingle or your stomach flip-flops, and you just know something is going to be a big deal. That is the feeling I had reading that ad."With only 48 hours until the audition day, Sobo called to make an appointment. As she knew nothing about the musical or its creators, she started researching immediately. She downloaded the show's album from the iTunes Store and realized it was "not your average Broadway sound, but funkier and grittier," she says. This allowed her to select appropriate audition material.
