Go ahead and ask, but be prepared for the person making the call not being able
to tell
you anything. Also, don't be surprised if you don't get a call, even though
they said
they would. The rule in my experience is that I don't get a call unless they
want me for
callbacks. Though sometimes for chorus slots they don't need you for
callbacks, either,
and you get cast. But it's always OK to call and ask if you don't get a call
from them,
and then you can use the opportunity to ask for some feedback. And I always
like to know
who they DID cast, because that gives me the best idea of what they were
looking for - I
often find this out through the grapevine, which you'll get clued into (if you
aren't
already) after you've been to a few of these auditions.
