Everyone talks about their high school musicals and today we had a meeting for ours. We could vote to do either The Music Man or Oliver! All the guys chose Oliver! and most of the girls chose The Music Man, due to the roles. Well, Oliver! won. I am an aspiring lighting designer (some of you know ), but the director has this girl do (EVERY SHOW!) it who uses 0 color and does not even want to be a lighting designer. That is crap. OK, I'm not gonna get into that. With this situation I have decided to audition for the show. What would be some good parts for me? I have never been a lead and would like to be a featured actor first (the director has favorites anyways). What is a good role for a baritone/more bass in Oliver!? The Undertaker? Suggestions for my audition? What would be a good song for me?...anything. Thanks.

I forget most of the voice parts. I've only seen two bad middle school productions of it. So I really couldn't tell you. Sigh. Good luck anyways.

If you don't get The Undertaker maybe you could play his burned up brother, Kane.

Right, but how big is the Undertaker's role? What is a good role for me? Any good baritone audition pieces?

It's supporting. If you have a local library try seeing if they have a recording of it, I've seen it and it would give you a better idea.

I love Where is Love? from Oliver, its just one of those songs that rocks my socks off. For an audition piece since oliver is more serious hmmmm something that will set you apart, don't do one of those songs EVERYONE does for auditions, I can't think of any right now but I'll try back in a few

Is that the song that the Undertaker and his wife sing?

By the way, Joizey, I thought of you today at school (I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU! lol). I have looked at your fan photos and saw someone in my school who looks like you. Just thought I would share.

If she lets me sing with a CD, what about Taye's part in "Tell Me Something" from The Wild Party (Lippa)? His range matches mine perfectly. So, would that be a good song?

I auditioned this evening. I am very non-self confident...so I feel I could have done better (very nervous), but I did not do terrible. It was kind of funny: one time I accidentally said Fagin (faggin)...and I was reading for the @sshole who has been harassing me. He kind of giggled. I am meant to be a lighting designer, but this is just a fun change.
