Deperately seeking "Tina's Mother"
 Oct 5 2006, 04:34:11 PM
Help me PLEASE!!!

I'm in desperate need of sheet music for a song from "Ruthless, The Musical" called "Tina's mother". While several of the songs from this show are in print for some reason I can't find this song anywhere. The complete score is even hard to get.

Can anyone please point me in the direction of this song.

I will be hopelessly and forever indebted to you.

It looked like Jesse to me. Barret is MUCH cuter.

Try Sara Lee from The World Goes Round

It's funny and also gives you a chance to show more of your vocal abilities than most comic songs allow.

Rosie to buy the Helen Hayes?

On Rosie O'Donnell's blog today there is a very ambiguous post that seems to imply she's purchasing the Helen Hayes theater?

Is this true?

Hey you created a new oxymoron. Actor smarts.


I like how you think and I am friends with the director and the producer so maybe it would be a good opportunity to take a chance.

Thanks again for your help.

What are your thoughts on auditioning with music from the show itself? I was thinking of audtioning with the opening number from Johnny Guitar. Most productions, I think, have a woman sing this, but sometimes it's done by a man.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions!!

Enachanted Hunter you have me really intrigued by "Destry Rides Again", but I think sheet music may be hard to find. So far I've found nothing on the internet. Any ideas.

As for the "Raw Hide" suggestions no doubt it would be a hoot to walk into an auditon and sing that, but do you think it's appropriated to sing something not from a musical?

Ok all of you out there with encyclopedic knowledge of everything Broadway. I need help picking an audition piece. The show I'll be audtioning for "Johnny Guitar the Musical"

The music reminds me of spaghetti western. Western in a poperatic kind of way.

So far the best I can come up with is 'They Call the Wind Mariah" from "Paint Your Wagon". This is very stylistically close to the music of Johnny Guitar, but it's not a great audition piece.

Any help would be appreci

A Theater group here in Houston will be doing it. A friend of mine is directing.

I'm thinking if I get cast it will be in the trio and the quartet, which would be great.

Johnny Guitar, The musical

Does anyone know where I can get a story outline of the off Broadway musical "Johnny Guitar, The musical"?

The official website has only a brief synopsis. I'm looking for a more detailed version of the story so I'll know what part I may be right for.

No it really is Bearfoot in the Park.

It's about these two overweight hairy gay guys that meet in central park :)

The Alley Theater here in Houston is doing a Ken Ludwig play this season starring Dixie Carter and Hal Holbrook. Apparently there demands drove the producers crazy. Their contract even calls for a certain amout of square footage for their housing and it must have a pool.

All this for a play that is from what I have heard about it, not very good.

Have you thought about renting the DVD of the concert version? It even has Patti Lupone.

I rented it through Blockbuster. I enjoyed it more than the staged version.

Stages repertory theater

In Austin try The Zachary Scott Theater. This is actually a venue that houses or hosts different companies.

I hope this helps
