Who wants to explain to me what its about, because today I found out that I'm playing Freddie in an upcoming produciton, but I don't know much about the show, and the only song I've heard is 'Pity the Child'. So yea I don't get my script for a week or so and itd be nice if someone would help me out a little...
another random question: is the 2CD cast recording worth buying?

audition question
Feb 28
2005, 11:09:26 PM
I'm auditioning for a community theater production of 'Chess' in a week or so, I have a song and everything but had a quick question. Is it considered okay to ask to play the piano for myself while I sing/ ask the pianist to turn pages for me? I don't want to offend anyone, and I don't know if maybe I should just memorize the piano part as well, but the song I'm doing changes tempo a lot and I'd rather not worry about having a total stranger try to read my mind and know exactly how I want it pla

'The show only works with YOUNG unknowns. That's what made it such a phenomenon. '
AGREED! That would include me  late teens/early 20s by the time they ever decide to even have a revival when/if they do, AND I'm currently in a production of it right now. I don't care if I'd just be a tribe/ensemble member if any of these people you're suggesting would be in it and its on broadway, I'm so there

They looked different in real life. Jaymes's hair was long enough to have in a ponytail in the museum scenes and his bangs weren't all sticking out. And Melody's hair was straight and pulled back in a ponytail the whole time. I'm guessing the photo isn't too recent but I might be wrong
Edit: what scene is the swimming pool thing? I have no idea what you're talking about...

'So Aida sang Radames' Letter? That's well... backwards. *shrug*'
Aida got the letter and sang it until 'i wish I could tell you this face to face' etc, when radames came on the stage. Which is dumb, because he was standing like 2 feet away from her, and apparently he can't tell her everything to her face. Then they both sang 'I love you'. Whatever, it worked except for the blocking aspect of it. You should see it. One of the ensemble members told me at the stage door that their voices

Is it just me or did something happen to the other one? Its not showing up....
I saw the Amneris Company today in TX... They were awesome! My discounted ticket was a very nice surprise from the director of a show I'm in, and this was the first time I've seen the show.
Overall- Was impressed. For paying 25 $ it was amazing. There were so many things that were different from the broadway run of it though (or at least that I can tell from the recording). Like Aida sang most

'Will I?', 'Another Day' and 'Halloween' from Rent gave me the chills
'One Day More' and the Finale from Les Miserables left me totaly awe struck
'My Strongest Suit' from Aida made me want to scream something along the lines of 'you go girl' haha

I like the movie but the acting is a little... blah. Those kids can SING though! I have the soundtrack, because it spares me from having to watch some of the not so great acting between the awesome songs

Great to hear about LVB! You should stop by the 'Rent Welcome Wagon' thread on the OT board sometime... Fredi is usually posting when you check in... I know your busy/tired and you don't HAVE to stick around just because I suggest it, but that thread isn't so much like an interogation and I think it may be the sort of relaxed conversation you were looking for when you first joined...
Just a thought
Anyways hope rehersals continue to go as

'It's especially exciting for me to watch Rosario grow more and more confident with her voice. She really sounds great, but is occasionally a little unsure of herself, since she's not had as much experience as the rest of us. But when she cuts loose and goes for it it's *really* exciting.'
Thats GREAT!
I was a little worried about her... I did see bits and pieces of her in Josie and the Pussycats (yes, I really am that insane, I made my sister rent/watch it and the computer is

'He and Alexander's Rosario Dawson are the two biggest names cast so far in Rent.'
Hm. Not sure which way to take that... What are they expecting bigger? Or are Anthony and Adam not good enough or something?
Anyways... thanks for sharing the articles

Glad you enjoyed it Emcee! I have yet to hear the cd myself (I've been holding off for the holidays) And I appear to be missing out on something great... Could possibly push for it to be added to my growing list of want-to-sees while I'm in NY
