Trust me, if you have the talent, your image will not be an issue and it shouldn't! Instead of focusing your time on how to lose weight, you should spend the time praticing your piano, singing, and dancing skills! When you audition, give it your all and be condifent! Confidence overshadows insecurity! Its a high school level production anyways, I highly doubt they are looking for the next Zac Efron! Just prove to the director you can perform just as well or even better than other performers. If you feel you were not chosen, simply because of your weight, you have the right to report discrimination. But please believe me when I tell you, TALENT not looks is what you should be focusing on. I am a little on the chubby side and I LOVED my performing arts class! I even landed one of the leading singing roles in our production of "School House Rock" because I gave an awesome audition!

I think you should go for it. Unless you're going for a specific part that requires you to be a 'built' man, then you just need to be confident within your own skin and try out!
