In response to: 1) Seth Rudetsky is God. He may just be the Chuck Norris of musical theater!
Seth Rudetsky can kill anyone with piano pedals and his only sport coat.

Of the 400 LB threads posted in the last 48 hours, this thread is by far the best.

If you aren't very talented, you can fool everyone by saying that you just quit smoking and you have bronchitis.
Being able to sing competently isn't a huge deal when you're being considered for a lead role in a Broadway show.
If you're an ensemble member, you're qualified to cast the lead in the show you're in.
Reality show editing can make you look bad, especially if you're a bitch to begin with.
If you feel you have learned from a program like this you are one sad individual my friend!
The Palace stage door hall is tan, as I remember... just putting that out there.
1. The random ensemble member on the judge panel is the toast of Broadway.
2. If you clearly don't know anything about vocal pedagogy, it's no worries because OMG YOU'RE PLAYING ELLE WOODS ON BROADWAY.
I've learned that:
If you have smoker's cough and an attitude, you can still stay in the competition because your father is a famous director.
When your sibling is way more famous than you, you end up on reality TV.
Putting 10 girls in a single loft while in direct competition with each other is a great idea. Of course there won't be any problems.
You might want to make sure you actually have talent before ruining your rep by showcasing to the world your complete LACK of talent, Cassey S.
Having lunch and pedicures with current LB cast members will keep your name off the list and most likely end your audition.
The Palace Theater is ancient
...because, you know, "Aida" played there and it was set in ancient times, soooo then it must be like the pyramids?
LBB is a god and TOTALLY my idol. Like, ohmygodseriously. She's totally not nasally or anything and she was cheated out of a Tony nomination. And Legally Blonde is THE greatest Broadway show EVER!! What's Gypsy??
*And on a serious note, Seth is hilarious*

TheaterBaby,
I'm the silly one who began this thread, and I intended most everything to be tongue in cheek. However, I too really think Seth is hilarious. I am the biggest fan. That part of my original thread...that he is God, is actually quite serious. I love him!
Thanks everyone for the great additions to the list. Let's keep 'em coming.

Did someone on the show really say there were 8 days instead of performances??

Yea Bernie did and Seth Rudetsky makes fun of it in one of his blogs
Oh, that's GREAT!
Oh, and so as not to forget possibly my second favorite line in the series, all grown women dream of living in a loft that is decorated "PB Teen dream!!!"
Ha! Perhaps not decorated to that extent; but if someone wants to put me in a rent-free loft on the Upper West Side, I'll take what I can get.

Here's another:
Elle Woods must be able to dance in high heeled pink boots on cobblestone.

Nice one Spork, but don't forget that they shouldn't fit properly and it must be 40 degree weather in the theater.
Seth really is god...lol
Speaking of the god Seth,
Low notes = sassy.
I love this thread a whole lot.
1.) So much better is a crazy high song. Step off "Think Of Me"! I mean, doesn't it have a middle D in it? Craziness!!!
2.) Having the same hair color naturally as the character is a major advantage (episode 1, the girl who looked like a crackw****)
3.) Being on Broadway is kind of a big deal.
4.) All auditions give you training and rehearsal before hand, and you will always have feedback and understand why you didn't get the part, after having second and third chances of course

It's also higher than "Glitter and be Gay," apparently.
Though I really think that they meant high belting.

Not only does Elle Woods have to be able to dance in high heeled pink boots that don't fit, in 40 degree weather, on cobblestone...but Laura Bell does it 8 times a week.

8 days a week, isn't it?
If someone hasn't wanted to be on Broadway since they popped out of the womb, they're less qualified than you.
SETH is God. No competition.
Doing half-a##ed crunches on an exercise ball while chanting bizarre tounge twisters is totally an intense workout. Don't you see all the Ironmen doing that?
Oh, and being older means you've earned it and deserve it more.

Whose sibling is famous? And who is the sibling?
Here's what I learned...
Any gift received during a reality show is the host's idea and is paid by the host right out of his or her pocket
