Hi all,
I'm looking for broadway songs about auditions, actors, acting, being on stage.
and also songs for a male singer about being gay.
Thanks.

Ya I thought of chorus line, but thats been done a million times before, what I'm looking for don't need to be in an audition for say, but talk about how hard it is to be an acotr, or talk about the dreams, hopes, pain and all the feelings that actors have.
Its for an original cabaret play were gonna producer, about actors and their life behind and on stage, the one thing I really need despartly is a song for one of the characters, who is gay, and talks about how people see him as a gay man in the acting world, and how he hates it that everybody thinks that just because your gay your an actor.
it can be sad, it can be funny, I just need something to work with, the rest I can chance because I need to tranlate the songs anyway.
if anyone can think of something to help me I will be so gratfull.

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
