-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.

"Franklin Shepard, Inc." from Merrily We Roll Along.
I absolutely adore this song.
I don't know why. I mean, there are a thousand songs I could have responded with, but that's the first one that popped into my mind. I guess it's because I would have so much fun with that song.
Others? Eh... Anything from Assassins. Because I would kill to play Guiteau. (Or to be the ambassador to France.)

Wow that's intense. I'd rather just rewrite the lyrics...
...or sing it as written, gender be damned. I'll leave "me privates" out of it, though.
But if there's a song you all want to sing, sing it! (Minus the surgery.)

Well, apart from being professionl/NY audition suicide to bend the gender, I think I would go for Memory (double sucide!!! lol), How Could I Know from ( almost double suicide!!! ) and Back to Before (from Ragtime).

Best, it looks JUST LIKE ia girl I know--i didn't think you were she, but...
and phillyactor, i did get a callback and a job from singing I Caint Say No--not exactly suicide for me, but i get your point. Song choices at auditions are hit or miss anyway, unless you KNOW that the casting person hates Sondheim (or whoever), how would you know what NOT to sing?

Posted: 9/9/05 at 12:16pmlildogs, I'll give you a little metaphor (not the one from The Fantasticks mind you.) I like to play cards, esp blackjak. It's foolish to hit on a 17, but occassionally people do it. Will they get 3 or 4, rarely, but if you want to play blackjack and win in the long term, you DONT do it. If you call them on it, they will proudly proclaim they won the hand. But watch what happens the 50 other times they try it! Its like the guy that jumps out of a plane and his parachute and backup get tangled , sometimes, on a rare occassion, he manages to survive, but usually he doesnt. So, I wouldnt hit on a 17 and I'd doublecheck check my parachute. When auditioning, why stack the odds against yourself, in order to maybe, on a small chance, be a an exception to a rule?
