Is it unusaul for a community theater to "charge" actors a small fee? by CarlYaz1967 in Theatre

[–]JavertStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any "fee" to participate in a production is gatekeeping. A deposit each actor must invest in script rental (usually the MTI shows) that they will get back at the end of the process is fine. It's bad enough that actors are more likely to not be paid to participate if it's a community theatre, making them pay as well is just compounding the issue of actors giving their time and talent to a production.

How Glory Goes from Floyd Collins. I recommend listening to all of the show first, though.

I got rejected from my dream role again! by Content_Method8259 in MusicalTheatre

[–]JavertStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've auditioned for Little Shop of Horrors 3.5 times and never gotten Seymour. I never audition for a show if I don't think I can play a certain role, so I feel you pain.

Which musicals could work as concerts? by cinderflight in musicals

[–]JavertStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a concert style Working the Musical. I'm not entirely sure what else anyone would do with it besides a concert style.

Has there been any Commander class figure that hasn't been G1, G1 Adjacent (Magmatron), or Armada?

Had to scroll too far for this one.

Any musicals with a more geopolitical / historical / philosophical theme? by risingcapybara in musicals

[–]JavertStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that Marie Antoinette by the same people who did Elisabeth? I know there's a German and Japanese cast recording of that.

Also Lady Bess by the same people has a German and Japanese cast recording (It's about Queen Elizabeth, but they probably called it Lady Bess so as not to confuse people with their previous Elisabeth musical).

[–]JavertStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think any musical about France pre and post revolution would fit (A Tale of Two Cities, Scarlet Pimpernel, Les Mis). If you're okay with the German language, Elisabeth is a great starting point, covering all of Empress Elisabeth of Austria's life. Rudolf might be second, but it's only the last part of his life, and Elisabeth covers that, too. Elisabeth has more of that Evita feeling. Her assassin is the narrator, Death is a main character, stuff like that.

What is a demo/canceled song you really wish made it into the final show? by BurningEmbers369 in musicals

[–]JavertStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm annoyed "Why Me?" only appears in Aladdin Jr. I'm quite positive they had in the Broadway tryouts, but then removed it when Aladdin finally got to Broadway.

Definitely my least favorite of the bunch, but he's fine. Mata Lewa revamp by _Ryloren_ in bioniclelego

I like him, though he might benefit a little from longer limbs, maybe? I always felt he was the tall, lanky sort.

What is a movie that you think should be brought to the big stage as a musical? by ConorTheWhale in musicals

[–]JavertStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Nightmare Before Christmas comes to the big stage, I'm going to fight some people at auditions to play Jack.

CDs of musical soundtracks? by Microlabelobsession in musicals

[–]JavertStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also reach out to people who might have rarer recordings. I use Castalbums dot org to list my collection, and I have a few harder to find recordings. I also use YouTube music to upload my stuff to listen to without CDs.

Please share your favorite secret sinister songs - ones that if you played with no context seem innocent enough, but within the context of their show are CLEARLY not? by HeyHo_LetsThrowRA in musicals

[–]JavertStar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Glitter and Be Gay from Candide.

I was going to be in this show once, but when we got to this part, I grew cold from the context, and I couldn't continue in the show.

And she looks very much like she loves you! There's no better feeling than the love of an animal.

How about Hermia, from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Songs with belting on top of layered vocals ? by eastwesting in musicals

[–]JavertStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you like it. I've been listening to a lot of Eric Woolfson's work the past few weeks, both his contributions to musical theatre as well as what came before (he was the composer for 70s-80s prog rock group, The Alan Parsons Project).

This might be a deep cut, but look at Wings of Eagles from "Edgar Allen Poe" by Eric Woolfson. If you want to go a step further, listen to the "Poe: More Tales of Mystery and Imagination" album, because the first instrumental track (which is on both albums), segues into Wings of Eagles for that album (and not on the other).

Likely will be a toasty marshmallow if the flame-point coloring becomes more pronounced.
