This is a totally shilly and self-indulgent post, but here goes:

This weekend I played the title role in Harold! The Musical, an original musical that went up as part of the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Arts at my college. The clip is of my big song, and I'd love any feedback!

Thanks, all!
Where's the Song?

I'm being honest here, so please take what I say with full love (because I do love ya):

Your voice is AMAZING. I've always been in love with those pipes but the "acting" seemed forced sometimes and unrealistic. And I don't know if it is you or the director, but the blocking seems weird (you just walking around the stage and then hitting your knees). But, again...your voice is SPECTACULAR!!!

Thanks so much for your honesty, Spidey! Yeah, the awkward blocking is neither totally my fault nor totally the director's fault- it's more due to the fact that we had to put it together incredibly quickly. The character does call for somewhat unrealistic acting (he's a drama king and ends up going insane), but I totally see what you mean! And thanks for the compliments; I love your voice, too!

Diva, I don't know how to respond to your post because I can't tell what it is

That's Harold (Of 'Harold and the Purple Crayon' fame), being eaten.

Ahh, that makes sense! I've never heard of "Harold and the Purple Crayon;" it looks adorable!

Well, now I'm sure someone will steal my idea and make a musical out of it.


Which they should.
