Hey Guys, ok so I know that some people might hate doing this but I am having some trouble
I have an audition for a GREAT production of Oklahoma/Once Upon a Mattress (1 auditino you MIGHT get cast in either) but I really don't know what to sing. Does anyone have any idea like what kind of show to lean to not even speiifically an audtiion song particularly
P.S. I am mostly an Alto but can sing soprano I almost always sing alto audition songs though
When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

Posted: 12/17/04 at 9:22amDon't do anything from Wicked. Depending on what role you are going for makes a differnece in your piece. If you want Ado Annie/Winifred, do a comedic number. If you're going for other roles, stay legit - something Rodgers & Hammerstein (If I lOved You, I Have Dreamed)Don't do anything contemporary. No Chess. No Les Miz. No Rent.
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
