eponine88, your story is completely touching in itself. You have an amazing amount of strength my dear girl. I hope you never ever lose that.
Everyone else as well has just made my day so much better by letting me hear how musical theatre has influenced your lives in one way or another. I love it! :)

Has Musical Theatre Changed Your Life In Anyway?
Jan 20
2004, 06:46:00 PM
I remember I was in Grade 11 when I got into musical theatre and honnestly, that was the year I found exactly who I was and what I needed to do in my lifetime. I found this unbelievable passion in singing, dancing and drama that I had never felt before.
For 2 1/2 years I was suicidal, I did drugs all the time, I drank 24/7 and I was so unhappy I didn't know what I was going to do with my life. I always knew that I wanted to perform in some way because I had danced and sang my entire life,

I cant believe no one has said Britney Spears yet. If she comes to Broadway, all itll be is lipsyncing. Don't get me wrong I think she is a fabulous dancer and is great onstage, but she cant sing worth anything.

Why Did Amour Close? Explain It To Me

2004, 04:35:40 PM
I think it would have had a better chance off-broadway because I still stick to that its a fantastic show. No its not a huge production you know, but I think it would have had the staying power being off-broadway. At least I hope it would have, I guess we may never know right?

Loving The Broadway Radio
Jan 14
2004, 11:33:47 AM
Its all I've been listening to for the last few weeks, and I absolutely love all the new music that has been added. I've gotten tons of my friends from my performing company listening to it, and they love it as well. Fantastic work on the playlists too, but now I have to go out and get these fabulous recordings. Even hearing one song and I'm hooked (pete n keely, a new brain, etc). There goes another couple hundred of dollars i can't afford in the first place.:) Well anyway, thanks for B

I was listening to the recording with my vocal teacher this weekend, and it has some of the nicest, most beautiful music ever. So why in heavens name did it close so quickly? Its quite upsetting...

2004, 10:25:08 PM
I think this musical is just fantastic (great score, funny story), but I'm sure many people have different thoughts about it. Does anyone have any idea if its going to come over to Broadway? Its been just amazingly successful in England and I really wish it would get over here.
Tell me what you think about this show, I'm dying to hear everyones comments

To Those Performers Out There: The Musicals You Were Born To Be In
Jan 13
2004, 06:42:43 PM
I think this was already a thread, but to my fellow performers out there , What are your top 5 musicals that you would love to do before you die? Parts you believe you were born to play, and if you had a chance you would jump at the chance to play that one character, or sing that one song?
It can also be plays if you like. The options are wide open, let me know what you were born to play :)

Websites To Find Monologues From Musicals
Jan 12
2004, 02:32:58 PM
Hey all,
Well Im graduating from highschool this year and I am in the midst of getting together a repatoire picked out because I'm planning to be auditioning for some theatre schools in Canada and possibly New York. I haven't been able to find many good monologues lately and I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites that have some really good monologues in them. I would like some from actual musicals too, but I'm open to any advice or ideas. Tell me what you think.
Thanks!
