lina lamont accent tips?  Aug 7 2018, 12:19:35 PM
I would say the key is to differentiate between what is accent and what are her charetistic affectation.

The accent itself is difficult to pin down - is it Bronx, is it Chicago is New Jersey? It’s at points little bits of all of them. However, the one accent that’s probably the best fit overall, I think I’d Syracuse NY/Central New York https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FbXlYhHaG1w

I’d start with the accent, understand the basic rules and then exaggerate it and add the shrieking/nas

I feel if someone like Rich found Karen and Aaron magical and moving -- then it is special. It may not be "chemistry" in the generic sense but here was a person who 1. a. loved the film so he was very invested in seeing what the musical could offer b. you have said previously you didn&#

If you are following the Disney design as an influence, having a necklace will help disguise the seam, as would gauntlet/bracelets like King Tritons around her wrists

Best Musical Books?  Jul 31 2018, 11:37:04 AM

There is a really great book, on this subject called ‘Deconstructing Harold Hill’ which I highly recommend. It takes a handful of musicals and goes into great detail about their construction. It’s a really great book on the subject of musical books.

To truly answer the question you posted, I second everything the poster above has written!



Most creative/interesting curtain calls you've seen?  Jul 31 2018, 04:05:25 AM

BroadwayMan5 said: "^^ I was just gonna comment that I think School of Rock is really creative with their curtain call

One thing I strongly dislike is when everyone bows together with no individual or group bows. I understand why some shows do that but I always feel a little cheated because there are always some cast members I want to show more enthusiasm towards than others.

I’m actually the opposite. I far prefer a company now. I don’t enjoy


Today's Random Question: Click Tracks  Jul 26 2018, 12:35:16 PM

SomethingPeculiar said: "Click-tracks would primarily be used in instances of pre-recorded music combining with the live orchestra, or for some other reason that required the tempo to beexactlythe same every night. (I.E., the pre-recorded vocals in PHANTOM probably have a click track, if the live orchestra is even accompanying those moments.)"

Exactly and most dance shows use prerecorded vocals during the ensemble numbers.



Sound of Music with Sutton?  Jul 25 2018, 06:05:22 AM
She’s closer to the plucky Mary Martin charm than many who have been cast in recent years.

The odd thing about this property is that people think Julie Andrew + Nun + children and imagine Maria is something she isn’t. Julie Andrews is wonderful in the film and very, very funny - she nails the plucky, tomboyish spirit of this young woman who doesn’t know where she belongs and somewhere along the way made the misguided decision it was to be a nun. But the real Julie Andrews and the Julie

Nope.

It is absolutely undoubtedly FRED who does the spanking and not his counterpart in the play, Petrouchio. Othe

John Adams said: "...and what about the character of Lois? Typically, it would be a male who is characterized as a roustabout/playboy, but in KMK, it's Lois who explains how she's "Always true to you, Darlin' in my fashion..."

KMK, takes stereotypes of men and women and reverses their roles. Lilli is an aggressor, and Lois is a playboy. In its era, I think that was an interesting experiment.
"

The above cites many of the things I love

Any show who’s writer won’t attend rehearsals but sends a minion in his place and occasionally joins rehearsal via Skype...but only ever wearing a mask (yep) is going to turn into ‘guilty pleasure’ variety of show, as mentioned

Is "Kiss Me Kate" problematic?  Jul 22 2018, 11:55:06 AM

Charley Kringas Inc said: "I mean, it was written back when you could just go ahead and rape/beat your wife if she didn't want to have sex with you and that was legally a-ok, so yes, there are probably certain elements of its political outlook that don't quite line up with the past seventy years of social progress."

Is "Kiss Me Kate" problematic?  Jul 22 2018, 10:36:29 AM

GavestonPS said: "Is the ending of KATE really much worse than, "Eliza, where are my slippers?" Seems to me they both end in a similar fashion and MY FAIR LADY is not the broad comedy that is KISS ME, KATE. (I'm not saying humor excuses everything, but the broader the comedy the less we are asked to take the proceedings seriously.)

"

It depends what you want from the production as a team. ‘My Fair Lady’ only has a tricky ending if

green waver said: "Correct me if I'm wrong(I know someone here will) , but isn't "I am ashamed..." the one lyric in the play that Porter derived directly from Shakespeare? Amazing the longevity of cringeworthy sentiments."

Yes, it is word for word taken from the Shakespeare text. Doesn’t make it any less problematic.

Is "Kiss Me Kate" problematic?  Jul 20 2018, 08:50:56 AM
I do think the spanking and ‘I Am Ashamed That Women’ are so simple are problematic. It’s one of my absolute favourite musicals, I adore it but I always wince at the end.
