Melanie Brook sings at The Callback Semi-Finals on October 7, 2013. Contestants were asked to sing a 5 minute set to give guest judges a taste of what their 54 Below cabaret.
It concerns me you have a massive amount of gay people just out of view screaming "yas" at you in your home all the time. You should probably move. And if you keep hearing them go to an exorcist or a therapist.
@@Larissawesome Nope. But I currently am getting weird post mortem videos in my recommended of deceased adults and infants from the Victorian era. It is terrifying. And they are getting more common as I press the "not interested in content" option.
Her acting really sells this medley. Doing a good job of deliberately bad acting s a very hard skill, but oh man, the way her face goes when she sings "Jamie is gone" and then the little head look to the side. I was fucking dying already.
i love how judgey theater is- like don't sing these at auditions cuz they're overdone... cuz they're popular... cuz they show off your range... sing some other secret song... that shows off your skills... that NO ONE ELSE has heard of either... but make sure it's catchy... and popular...preferably something the pianist has played before ffs
rlly tho. i went into an audition once and handed the accompanist a song he’d never played before because it was “too obscure” (IT WAS A CHANGE IN ME FROM BEAUTY IN THE BEAST) and he asked me to do my contemporary rock song which was sign of the times by harry styles. it was an audition for the last five years.
Oliver The Chinchilla I don't relate to this from a theater standpoint (I can't hold a note for more than a millisecond, theater was never in the cards), but it speaks to me anyways. 👍🏽
I think the goal is to not do something that will compare you to every other person doing it. (The "do not sing lists" are getting a bit too long, but the general idea is that you want something "less done", especially as the field keeps being flooded by college grads who have all taken rep classes and have rep coaches.) I think of it like showing up in a little black dress. Unless the dress fits you SO well that it makes people stop and stare, I think you're better off with something a little more adventurous. I've heard tales of people in casting remembering people as "red earrings" before. I think at the -community- level these lists are a bit useless. If there's only 12 people auditioning for the role, you probably don't need to stick out like you would at a cattle call.
i’d love to see a guys version with waving through window, corner of the sky, santa fe, being alive, micheal in the bathroom, and a bunch of others i can’t think of
Corner of the Sky I can understand - I learned that song in Musical Theater class in 7th grade which was 1979. Imagine how many times they have heard it.
Finally got around to putting together all the lyrics, so if anyone else wants them: (Still Hurting - The Last Five Years) Jamie is over and Jamie is gone Jamie's decided it's time to move on Jamie has new dreams he's building upon (On My Own - Les Mis) And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us (Somewhere That's Green - Little Shop of Horrors) Far from Skid Row I dream we'll go somewhere that's (The Wizard and I - Wicked) Unlimited My future is unlimited And I've just had a vision Almost like a prophecy I know - it sounds truly crazy And true, the vision's hazy But I swear, someday there'll be A celebration throughout Oz That's all to do with me! And I'll stand there with the Wizard Feeling (Astonishing - Little Women) Astonishing Astonishing I'll find my way I'll find it far away I'll find it in unexpected and unknown I'll find my life in my own way Today Here I go And there's no turning back My great adventure has begun I may be small But I've got giant plans To shine as brightly as the sun (Don't Rain on My Parade - Funny Girl) Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade I'm gonna live and live now Get what I want, I know how One roll for the whole she-bang One throw, that bell will go clang Eye on the target and wham One shot, one gun shot, and bam Hey, Mister Arnstein, here I am (Defying Gravity - Wicked) So if you care to find me Look to the western sky! As someone told me lately: "Everyone deserves the chance to fly!” (Gimme Gimme - Thoroughly Modern Millie) dove! Sing, sparrow! Gimme fat boy's famous arrow Gimme, gimme that thing called love! (And the last note is from Defying Gravity)

@@fatherterry1017 I mean, if you're a girl, there's "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," and if you're a guy, there's "Music of the Night." They're both good for showing range and emotion (and also wildly popular, which means producers won't want to hear them so the point is moot).
Even in my first community theatre audition they told me "Don't sing that ("Close Every Door"). Tell me you have something else. Anything else." "Spark of Creation...?" "That's a girl's... never mind. That'll be fine."
I did, but not as the lead. A Christinafied version of Children Of Eden didn't play well for casting Jekyll and Hyde. That was also before I picked songs to suit the show... and my gender. I riff too much and I like singing girl songs.
That transition between Somewhere That's Green and The Wizard And I was fantastic and I appreciate it so much Edit: “Fly, dove, sing, sparrow” I SCREECHED
Dude, I sang "On My Own" for my AMDA audition, and I still got in, AND I'm in my third semester, going into fourth! I just wish I was enough of a leading lady to sing the other songs...
Astral Cosmos Celestial the Third I’m just letting you it is one, whether you see it as one or not. Your original comment just flat out said it’s not a musical theatre song, I’m just letting you know it is. Especially considering Wizard of Oz’s songs are structured like the typical movie musical.
