i completely forgot i'd posted this message...
so it's been a couple of years since i made my original post, and i'd just like to mention that after two not-so-miserable years studying at a regular liberal arts school, i ended up reapplying to NYU and got in!! I'm currently pursuing a BFA in theatre. i didn't get into CAP, but i'm guessing this has more to do with me saying "i'd rather not go into CAP because i want to focus on my acting" at the audition than anything else LOL. maybe i

character songs for men Apr 3
2007, 11:01:35 PM
i searched around and couldn't find a post for this - sorry if i'm mistaken.
I'm searching for character songs for a young (teen) actor. He's on the shorter side, probably 5'3 or 4, and hispanic. strong comedian, especially physical comedy. He needs a ballad and an uptempo for an upcoming audition.
we might as well compile male character songs for future reference.

Chava Monologue? Jan 6
2007, 03:42:42 PM
Ok, and this is me going WAYYY back in time to when I last saw the show (ie. the revival, but i've got terrible memory): does Chava have a monologue towards the end of Fiddler on the Roof? I remember the staging of it, for crying out loud, but I can't remember for how long she talks nor what she says. Someone mentioned it to me the other day and it's killing me.
Does anyone knows what she says? Can you even count it as a monologue?
Really random question, but thanks!

re: Legit singing on Broadway Aug 9
2006, 05:37:22 PM
i agree with taboophan there.
i guess the bottom line is that, like in everything, it's all about how well rounded you are: more styles = more musicals = more work for the flexible singer.
however i completely get what the others are saying. i honestly don't think i've ever even heard a bass singer on broadway in the last 6 or so years, and indeed each year the songs just get higher and higher for all singers. And while the styles may be evolving, our voices are not -- I seri

re: What current shows have bad seats in first few rows? Apr 5
2006, 08:01:16 PM
i tend to stay away from the front row because i apparently distract the actors...
during kiss me kate they all recognized me instantly as "the girl who the dancers sweat all over" because i kept wiping their sweat off the whole performance.
and of course, classic - is the time norbert leo butz apologetically stopped er, groping himself when he saw my face of horror..
aka, if you're an impressionable, expressionable ingenue as myself, STAY AWAYYY...

i've already seen DDS - LOVED it.
i'd also like to see potential tony wins, just so that i can catch them before they hike up the prices - does that help at all?
hmmm that's good to hear about cindy. see? otherwise i wouldn't find out about these things!
how lovable is lestat's music? i mean i saw aida, and i love elton john's work there...i just dont wanna be dissappointed in that department...

re: BEST SHOW OF THE SEASON Apr 5
2006, 07:45:28 PM
well i'll definetely look into jersey boys...
as for piazza, well, yea it's last season...but since i haven't had the chance to see it i'm wondering if i should.
ps. i heart cindy lauper but i question her acting ability on the sheer reason that i've never seen her perform. i just wonder whether she can carry a musical?
NEW QUESTION: what's an easy show to get into? lottery/rush-wise?

re: Why I'm becoming perturbed with 'What should I see?' Apr 5
2006, 07:41:23 PM
as a recent poster of a "what should i see" er...post, i am going to take the opportunity to defend myself with the following:
yea. it sucks. going to see shows is sooo expensive, particularly if oyu dont live in the area and have to fly from far away and pay hotels and etc. i'm usually all for experimenting, to be honest, but i really really REALLY don't want to be dragged into a bad show i have to walk out of. and then i dont want to sit there and be miserable cause i can't walk out
