Posted: 6/19/05 at 7:10pmOne that shows off range but is a strong character role. "Privilege To Pee" is you're allowed to sing from the show, "My Strongest Suit" from AIDA possibly?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 9/7/08 at 2:45amI'm trying to land Pennywise at my college, and we are not allowed to use songs from the show in our auditions. Any help?

Posted: 9/7/08 at 7:02amsing something from Evita. If it's an excerpt, perhaps from "A New Argentina" (well, I think that's the name of the tune, I don't know Evita THAT well) the one with those high, belted (He supports you, cause he loves you...blah blah. Belt that puppy out. If you can't, I wouldn't bother with Pennywise. She belts out a G regularly in "Priv. to Pee" and sings a high C at the end. If not Evita, something else that belts VERY high.

Posted: 9/7/08 at 11:52amDoesn't "Privilege to Pee" hit a high C on the last note? Sing something with a big range!
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

Posted: 9/7/08 at 12:40pmI can definitely belt it, but they are looking for a song that is not a show tune. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
