Posted: 2/21/05 at 11:55amTOO MANY. The engineer sings way too much in that show. When the American dream comes, I don't wanna see him. I want to get back to the story.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 11:57amYea, I thought the American Dream kind of just totally came out of left field and made no since, but yet I lmao the first time I saw it. A great performance by the current Engineer in the national tour.

I think "American Dream" is there to show the mentality of those living in the South East during the war. They wanted to be somewhere where they could be free, and that is what the Engineer sings.
What part are you auditioning for in Cabaret.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 2/21/05 at 12:29pmWell, I love the role of Herr Shultz, but I think they'll go with someone much older. So, I guess I'm going to go the Emcee/Kit Kat Club Boy route....but I also like the part of Herr Ludwig and Cliff, so we'll just to see how they do they auditions. Maybe a song could be enough to be considered for the younger parts....or maybe no older guys will show up. Anyways, no I may do King Herod's song from JCS.
