Broadway Idol....well sort of

That's pretty cool.

The song lists were released:

I wish they'd announce a more specific time. I'd tape it, but I don't want to tape two hours of The Early Show every day.

All this is doing is giving away actors' jobs. This really upsets me.

inlovewithjerryherman, I don't know if you know what the definition of a walk on-role is, but it's basically just someone who walks in the background of a scene, so it's really not that big of a deal so chill out!

That's like saying, someone who makes their own coffee in the morning is taking away money from Starbucks!

oh, i didn't realize it was a walk-on.

sorry, i'll read more carefully :)

"Bjh, I don't know how to react to your comment One of my best friends is actually doing the Wedding Singer song! His name is Kyle and he's extremely talented! Bernard Telsey came to my school to audition each and every one of our MT majors...It may not be a particularly difficult song but you have to have a lot of talent to be the person picked from each school."

Oh, catstage, I didn't intend it like that. I am not saying that they don't have talent, I am sure they do. I am just saying that "Somebody Kill Me" doesn't really show off one's vocal skills. So, in theory, one doesn't need to be a good musician to do that song. I was talking about the competition people picking that as the male Wedding Singer song. This actually might hurt the performer since he won't be able to show off his full talent.

yea i saw something about this today on the early show. it looks really kool but it sucks they didn't go to more schools. they interviewed bernard telsey (who casted it) and showed a few clips of the contestants. they look good. there's stuff all over the net about it and on cbsnews.com. it's a great opportunity it just sucks they didn't give other schools a chance

I don't have our original e-mail about the performances but it said something about having other people either from the show itself or elsewhere to be the other characters to keep it in context I believe...I wish I had kept that one. Regardless, look for Kate as Velma on Tuesday and Kyle as Robbie (? I don't know The Wedding Singer yet) on Wednesday morning!

Chitty, I go to the University of Arizona and our program is very good thank you very much. Are we CAP 21 at NYU? No, but the program here is outstanding. We may not have Idina Menzel or Barett Foa as alumni but this program has a lot of working alums. CCM and NYU are in the top in the nation too, CBS chose to pick other schools though.

A school like NYU has networking within the city. For our program, where we are close to LA and don't have the opportunity to go out and audition for big New York productions etc or know people in the city, it is a great experience. Having Bernard Telsey at our school was not only exciting for us but also a great way to get people from our program's name out to some people in NYC, even if it was just for the sake of knowing we've had the opportunity to audition for them. Besides, just because CBS picked a couple of schools throughout the entire nation doesn't mean that they're saying, "These are the five best programs in the country." They are just saying that the programs they've picked are some of the really good ones throughout the country. And until you've experienced what UofA's program has to offer or seen our productions I'd appreciate you not saying such rude things.

Cheers,

Christopher

U of A is great, unless, of course, you're one of the 17 people they decided to cut this year.

Mr.Tuttle is correct in that Tisch respectfully declined to participate.

Yes..I knew Tisch did. Also Oklahoma City University and CCM declined to participate.

Perhaps they know something?

Hmmm...
