Posted: 4/21/09 at 1:45pm
the community theatre in my area is doing Rent and I am trying to think of an appropriate song.
the audition isn't for months, but i always like to have things sort of picked out and in the back of my mind way ahead of time.
i was thinking of doing "Number 5 With a Bullet" from High Fidelity. It has a nice rock/soul feel to it.
What do you guys think?

I think you should wait another few months... And then come back and ask.
RENT will never die, will it? Sad.

My university's doing it next year. I was kinda sad when i found out, but now I'm kinda excited, even though, despite how well i could play Collins or Angel, I don't have a chance at getting cast.
I'm gonna sing Stoned from Passing Strange for the auds.

In the future, requests should go on the "student" board to the right.
And don't worry about "Liza + Jesus" - he's a bitter old former poster here who got banned not once, but twice for making up ridiculous lies that could have hurt a performer's career (as TooDarnHot), and also for generally being a douche (TheCharleston). I assume he's signed back onto this account. The telltale signs of our old friend are the love of Patti, the use of the sentence "Sad." to condescend, and a general ass-holishness.

Posted: 4/22/09 at 8:44amI'm not sure how the community theatres are handling auditions for Rent but MT songs have never been allowed for the professional auditions. They always call for a rock or pop song.
