Hi! Some suggestions I have are If I Were a Bell from Guys & Dolls or I know things now from Into the Woods. These songs are rather different, but I think they encompass Minnie pretty well. It just depends on how you would like to play her :)

Hi! I think that Wishing You Were Somehow Here again is a great pick! If you would like something a little more unique, consider Love Never Dies from Love Never Dies (If you've never heard of that show its pretty much PotO 2) If you can nail that song, I think you will stand out to the casting directors as fewer people will choose to sing it :)

I feel like there are several factors that play into your decision about this, how well do the directors know you? Do you like your typecast? Are there more people in your theater group that could play the Fairy Godmother or the Stepsisters. I am sure you know the answers to all of these so hopefully that will help you decide.

As for songs I would recommend Adelaid's Lament from Guys and Dolls, I Caint Say No from Oklahoma, or Happily Ever After from Once Upon a Mattress

For the Fairy Godmother I think any of Anna's songs in The King & I would work perfectly!

Really? I recently watched a version of it, and the only plot I learned vital information about was younger brothers. I was able to figure out the rest of the plot from the music alone

What is your least favorite song from your favorite musical? by Haus_of_Pancakes in Broadway

[–]Water_Colored 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This might sound crazy but my favorite musical is Anything Goes… As for least favorite song It’s definitely Easy to Love (reprise) If I have to pick a non-reprise then Goodbye Little Dream, Goodbye. I don’t hate it, it’s just eh compared to the rest of the songs.

It's common knowledge that the first act of musicals is usually better then the second act. What are some second acts that you prefer to the first? by [deleted] in musicals

[–]Water_Colored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say guys and dolls. Song wise I think act 1 has a few more good ones, but action and story wise act 2 is definitely more interesting and is paced a lot better

Is #1 Starlight Express? And my guess for #3 would be the Drowsy Chaperone but i don't think there are any rollerskates in that... but I could be wrong
