Your First Musical? — Page 5

The Wizard of Oz...I was a crow.

I started out in "Bye Bye Birdie" when I was 10...I was Harvey Johnson. They only had like 3 boys, and so I got to play a boy.
Then I gradually moved my way up to Hannigan in "Annie" and was in "Seussical" as a Bird Girl.
(which by the way had the most amazing costume of pink and orange mini-skirts and boas)

Engelbert Humperdinck's HANSEL AND GRETEL when I was 11 years old. For Opera Columbus. But that was an Opera. Musical .. same year I did Fiddler. I had been Tzeitel.


Well there were all the things in my synagogue when I was growing up but this was the real offical show.

Guys and Dolls is a wonderful show I have always wanted to do it!

When I was a kid there was a program where I lived called Vermont Fairytale Theater. It doesn't exist anymore, but in it's heyday it was AMAZING. It was essentially a program for kids age 10-18, where you would write a show (as the name indicates, it was usually fantasy based) and perform it. It sounds so cheap and cheesy, but it really wasn't. It was actually always amazingly well done.

I did it when I was ten, and the show that year was called "Fariewell". I was a forest farie. I didn't have any lines, and my job mostly consisted of dancing and annoying the crap out of the audience before the show started (the faries were in charge of running around the auditiorium and sitting in people's seats, scaring children, etc. Then we had to hide when the lights went down and come up to the stage during the first song).

For something written, directed, and choreographed by a bunch of kids, it was pretty amazingly well done. The story was surprisingly well written. I've considered pulling it together and novelizing it or something for a while now.

Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors at 15. ^_^ Only slightly embarassing.

Fagin's Gang in Oliver in 1998 I was 9.

---

Fiddler on the Roof when I was 15. I played Motels mother, Shandel.

Here I was a sophmore playing the mother of a boy who was a senior...I always get the whole "You look older then you are" routine.

Oklahoma! when I was 14. A week ago. Chorus, five lines. Just the right size for my first one; it wasn't big, but I didn't feel gypped.

It was wonderful, no matter how boring that play is.

5 yrs old, Peter Pan, Lost Boy (well, girl)
