How familiar are you guys with this show? Is My Funny Valentine sung by a man or a woman? I might want to do it for an audition, but if it's sung by a man in the show, i'm not sure it would be appropriate. Thoughts?
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

Posted: 1/1/05 at 6:47pmIt depends on which version of Babes in Arms you're talking about.

Posted: 1/1/05 at 6:54pmAh, BABES IN ARMS. The quintessential "Let's put on a show!" show. That musical had more hits songs than any other Rodgers and Hart show.
Praying Decca Broadway will put "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope" on CD!
