When a golfer chili-dips his chip, it means that the golf club struck the ground behind the ball, digging up turf and resulting in little or no contact with the ball itself. The result of a chili dip is a golf ball that doesn’t go very far - possibly moving only a few feet or barely at all - and comes up well short of the target....

Like its movie predecessor, the Broadway show plays for laughs most of the time; however, several of the songs convey the messages more deeply than in the Waters’ film....

There are endless reasons why we do or do not book a role, and often times it has nothing to do with how talented an actor is. We go from auditions to callbacks, to sometimes not getting many auditions, and also sometimes never booking a job for months!...
