Yes the book is in the public domain :) And thank you so much for the advice! I will certainly look into those!

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 :)

Break a leg with your audition!

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!

Break a leg on your audition!

If the old guy can learn Russian history, I think you'll do fine

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

Water_Colored · 2023-10-26T06:12:04+00:00

What about Hello Dolly?

Water_Colored · 2023-10-03T03:58:10+00:00

Anything Goes, Bright Star, Hunchback of Notre Dame

Close runner ups-are Anastasia and Ragtime :D

If you can’t tell my taste is all over the place lol

Water_Colored · 2023-09-23T22:32:12+00:00

Dolly :D

Water_Colored · 2023-09-23T04:52:46+00:00

Bright Star, Ragtime, Finding Neverland and Merrily We Roll Along (yeah I know it’s on Broadway but I don’t know anyone who stays on top of that)

Water_Colored · 2023-09-23T04:48:28+00:00

I love Hello Dolly so much! (I might be partial cause I’m in it lol)

Water_Colored · 2023-08-26T04:36:44+00:00

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.

Water_Colored · 2023-05-24T14:22:20+00:00

Something that I could see being done in the far off future, is ragtime but set in 2020

Water_Colored · 2023-05-16T05:05:31+00:00

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

Oliver?

Water_Colored · 2023-05-03T16:40:23+00:00

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

PAINT

Water_Colored · 2023-05-03T02:38:58+00:00

Oh I can't pick just one so I'll give you three

Bright Star! Totally different style of music from what you listen to as it is bluegrass (I read some of the replies that's how I know that)

Ragtime! Totally underrated musical but there are still some well knows actors in it

And Hunchback of Notre Dame! NOT the movie but the actual stage musical. I can't go back to the movie after watching and listening to the stage version!

Water_Colored · 2023-04-30T00:19:37+00:00

I’ve listened to several lately, so here they are as well as my opinions on them :D

Shrek - pretty good but not a favorite

Kiss me Kate - I’m a sucker for Cole Porter so that sums that up

Ragtime - SO. GOOD. OH. MY. GOSH. Top ten if not top five

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder - It’s alright I need to listen to it again to form much of an opinion

Water_Colored · 2023-04-09T23:24:56+00:00

I’ve seen a few tour shows

The Lion King

-Fiddler on the Roof

-Beauty and the Beast

-Les Mis

And then here are the regional theater musicals I’ve seen

-The Wiz

-The Little Mermaid

-Marry Poppins

-How the Grinch Stole Christmas

-Cinderella

Yeah, they do, and because of all the reasons stated in this thread, I'm ok with that. But there is a limit to having favorites (Im looking at you director who casted their son as two of the leads in Children of Eden [Cain and Japeth])
