At this point in your "career" include everything on your resume.
You can scale it down once you have more professional work.

High ticket prices on Broadway research needed
Feb 4 2007, 04:15:25 PM
Hey Everyone.
I am writing a paper for my Arts Management class addressing the issue of the high rising cost of tickets prices and its effects on attendance and blah blah. If anyone could recommend some articles, research, facts/figures you have come across recently or in the past that pertain to this issue that would be great! This post can also be a survey...how much does ticket price effect your decision to see a show or not. Thanks everyone!

re: Most overwhelming audience reaction?

2 shows that my college put on last year...Urinetown and Batboy
In urinetown of course all the spoofs at other bway shows got laughs, but the end of act I with the Les Mis spoof was insane. You almost couldn't hear the performers over the clapping and laughing.
In Batboy at the end of the musical when you discover batboy's past and then the audience puts that together with what Batboy and Shelly have done. Gasps went like a wave over the theatre and this guy a few rows in front of me yel

re: Your Most Embarassing Theatre Moment
May 31 2006, 11:54:47 PM
When I was a performer for one show I went off stage to the bathroom, did my business, talked with another performer about how much the audience was dull and boring that night, flushed, came back for the next scene I was in...my friend is about to laugh out loud, I just gave her a look we finished Act I, during intermission she tells me "um your mic was still on!!!"
Another time I was playing in the pit for a show and I turned the volume all the way down on my keyboard for whatever reas

re: Which way do you like to spell theatre/theater?

My vote is with you WalveMalve. I think that it technically the correct way to use the different spellings, Theatre when referring to the genre and aspects of Theatre, and TheatER when referring to an actual place where it happens.

Everything in Urinetown, just all the show spoofs were hilarious, especially the end of Act I and the Les Mis spoof!!

re: Have you ever played the same role twice, or been in a musical or play

I've played piano in the pit for Into the Woods 3 times. 2 times they overlapped. I drove to a high school production for rehearsals in the afternoon, then drove to a theatre in a diff. city for performances that night. That was a crazy week!

re: What's The Next High School Musical Classic?

Into the woods has had big success in my area. Beauty and the Beast is big now in community theatre. I think Spelling Bee will be the next big thing. Also shows that do not require big leads, with all memebers rather equal, ie: Spelling Bee, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Urinetown, etc.

re: What recordings should I buy?
Jan 20 2006, 12:56:43 AM
Children of Eden
and Into the woods, get both originals, London and Broadway, the London has some awesome performers, and a few songs cut from the OBC.

Thanks Margo, you were the only one who actually knew my true question. I am aware of the business side things. I needed content based answers. Thanks!

How did the top broadway shows get where they are?
Jan 18 2006, 10:58:04 PM
Going off another tread posted about what show you think will break the next "longest running show" record, what is it about the top shows: Phantom, CATS, Les Mis, Chorus Line, Oh Calcutta! (revival), Beauty and the Beast, Miss Saigon, RENT (all the shows above 4000 performances I think)that got them to there spot. Was it the score, cast, subject matter, visual (set/costume/all that stuff) or ???

re: * New Poll Topic * - The Next Longest Running Show On Broadway

At what number of shows Phantom will actually close with, will it break 8000?, who knows? Whatever number it closes at I don't really see another show breaking that, I think the Disney's will set records and move into the top 5, but that's about it.

re: And the 2006 Tony Awards Host is...
Jan 17 2006, 06:27:20 PM
My vote is for Nathan Lane!!! He has The Producers movie under his belt, successful run of Odd Couple.
...Oprah, only because the Tony's might pull in a diff. audience along with us theatre freaks!
...Norbert or John for having such great runs in DRS
...and just because it popped in my mind...Michael Crawford?, back on the scene with Phantom and it's new Longest Running show title.
