I can't wait to hear the rest of this show. I have a feeling that it's going to show some very true emotions from 13 year olds, something that's not too often done in a tangible way such as a musical.

re: Children's theater. A scam?

I agree that in many cases, it's totally a scam. In my opinion, it's taking something as sacred as the theater and turning it purely into a money-making machine. I mean, kids should be exposed to the theater but to be in a cast with between 50 and 100 other children running around is not what theater is about. It almost makes me sick to think that people are taking advantage of something like this.
It does however depend on where you do it. When I was a kid, I was in performances at the

Wow... Well, at least he's not half bad. I auditioned for Billy Flynn at my school yesterday and I have a callback tonight along with the dance audition! I guess I just have a hard time seeing celebrities in Broadway roles when they're engraved in my head as a hip-hop performer or music video actor.

I truly hope it doesn't become a mainstream thing... with all those emo and goth people. Yes it sort of has that appeal on the outside but there is just so much more the the musical that those people will never understand.
Yay! for them finally getting started on the movie!

Audition for Billy Flynn
Jul 30
2006, 03:30:00 PM
I was wondering if anyone had a monologue suggestion for auditioning for Billy Flinn at my school. I'm singing "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" from Barnum, and I need a monolgue that's sort of Flinn-esque. If you know of one you think would be good, could you also name the book it's in?
Thanks!

I got to meet David Hasselhoff when I saw "Spelling Bee" last summer. I even got his phone number because he happens to be good friends with my voice teacher!
It was kind of a surreal experience.

Last 5 Years. JRB's musical voice is more developed and the songs are better.
Along with the fact that it actually has a running story.

That's AWFUL!!! This uneducated America is talking about "Sweetey" Todd, making jokes about something they don't understand, and disgracing a wonderful piece of work.
I hope that if Burton and Depp do end up with the film, they make a wonderful homage to Sondheim's original play, not destroy it in the process of making a movie.

Yeah, Julie Andrews opted to get surgery instead of sitting it out. Surgery yields immediate results, but the voice never reaches the same potential that it had before the operation.
It's better to go to the trouble to not talk for like 3 months until it goes away by itself.

I'd go with the revival. "Something Just Broke" seems a little out of place, but adds a whole new angle to the events in the show that is needed.
Also, the sound quality is infinitely better.

The Producers
When I walked out of the theater, I was like "I liked this better than RENT even though I loved RENT."
