"the real standouts are the people who can do all the things really well" You mean for roles, or for ensembles too? I mean, what's the point in hiring an actor/singer/dancer if he only has to dance in the play? "I don't know what things are like in Argentina, but here in the U.S., theater is quite possibly one of the most cut-throat businesses there is." It's kinda the same thing, many actors are working at unprofessional or low budget plays (some are really good plays, but the cast don't get...

"I beg of you, please make sure you are good enough before moving all the way up to New York and starting to apply for work visas and eventually citizenship - nothing would suck more than getting up here and not being good enough to get work!" Of course, I'm not that stupid :) I'm not planning to do this right now, I only want to be informed so I know what to do if there are real possibilities in the future.

"Actors Equity Association (the union representing all Broadway performers) requires that preferential treatment be given to American Citizens." That's perfectly understandable. Now I have another question: if I get to become an American citizen (it doesn't matter now if it's easy or it's hard), would I get that preferential treatment or it's only reserved for native Americans? Thank you all very much for your answers :)

Hi, my name is Ricardo, and I'm a singer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Of course, I love musicals (otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to post here), and I always wondered what should an artist do to sing in a Broadway musical. I mean, we hear your CDs and watch your videos, but we don't know much of the real thing, so if you guys could tell me something about your daily life and work there, I would really appreciate it :) The other logical question: does Broadway like latino artists? Is it...
