Be advised that two people can sing any song ever written together. The song need not be composed as a duet. Use your own creativity. People are giving you great choices and you are shooting them down.
Nothing Can Stop Me Now does not need Ooh's and Ah's you know that -any two people can sing the lyric and the message is good.
Tonight and I Wanna Be Seen With You are both uptempo with a great feel and message for an o
There is nothing "IN CONCERT" about this staging, you guys should know that. This is a FULLY STAGED, expensive, first rate, choreographed, CLASS A production with huge sets and extraordinary costumes. It is only billed as "IN CONCERT" to get people to watch it who would not watch a MUSICAL on television. It was brilliant marketing.
You know you can tap to anything, right? Everyone on the planet would prefer she not tap to Forty-Second Street or Dames At Sea so you are on the right track there.
It probably would be innovative if she tapped to something from Hamilton or Let It Go.
You'll Be Back lends itself to a tap number but the other tunes would be more interesting.
I have had a lesson with Joan Lader and her technique is really wonderful. Steve Potfora is a Vocal Coach (who works on audition material) with students in over one hundred Broadway Shows who is great, accessible and in Manhattan. His info is on Facebook.
It is just greed and pushing the old theater lovers out to make way for a different type of theater goer that can afford $850 per ticket. It will certainly change the artform since the people actually in the arts will no longer be able to attend. We will see onstage the things that appeal to a more " Theater as an Event" audience.
Since there are a limited number of theaters available and the owners ge
Always True is a much better audition song since it has comedy built in. S'Wonderful is a play on words and shows the cleverness of the lyricist not the actor. It is smarter to do a non-Gershwin song since they have to sit through Gershwin all day and Porter certainly is close enough.
Sometimes, your choice as an artist is better than someone else's choice. Always True has a better ascending line to sing show the voice. Still, it could be that you do
People who work in the theater steer clear of the first couple weeks of previews since the timings are not set yet. Sound is not balanced since you need an audience there as guinea pigs to get the right timbre for the theater. The light cues are not perfected yet since they are often cued to the actors timing and, of course, the actors are getting used to each other and finding their way thru the piece for the first two weeks with a live audience.
This opera and this production are part of our culture even if the castingis not what others desire. The others you mentioned are not even in the ballpark. You made the right decision for a first opera. Be sure to wander the house during intermissions.
Turandot is the most lavish production in the history of The Met. It is one of the few Zefferilli productions that remain and the music is glorious every moment. It along with Mr Zefferilli's La Boheme, are arguably the most beautiful pieces of theater ever to be on any stage in New York. Look at the videos of both.
No need to spend the money on the box seats. Any area below Family Circle is fine.
Alladin is first rate in every way. It is a sure bet you will be happier seeing Aladdin for the first time, in the the most exquisite theater ever built in NewYork, then seeing Wicked or The Lion King for the third time in the ugliest theaters ever imagined in the country.
Yes, settings can be different since the load in on tours is two days and for Broadway the entire stage floor can be opened up and things can rise from the basement. &n
It sounds like no one you care about is in Hamilton anymore and, since you know the recordings well, you may even be unhappy hearing different voices than what you are used to. Perhaps it is best to wait for Hamilton to come to you with people you do not care about and only pay one quarter of the price. Also, Hamilton has no stage technology that will not tour so you will see a faithful reproduction in Memphis or any city as opposed to Phantom, Lion King and
Pre-recorded ensemble vocals, especially during dance numbers, have been quite common on Broadway ever since 1976 when Michael Bennet had dancers constantly moving during the One finale. Can you imagine all of the huffing and puffing you would hear in the body mics if you had to listen to it live?
It is pretty much public knowledge that the moment you are referring to in Phantom is always pre-record.
What a great thread to bring back but these posters were mostly all bullied off the board one by one. I watched it happen.
This board was a kinder place when actual theater people wrote on it. It was finally explained to me via post that this board is for audience members and not for actors on Broadway- so I stopped posting too.
The top creators of theater used to be here along with historians who knew more than all the rest of us put togeth
Bwayphreak said it best, "Sadly, this an enormous misfire on pretty much all cylinders.". Also, you do not see the original sets, costumes, choreography or orchestrations since they do not have the rights for them. The staging is reminiscent of the original in the way college productions can look like Broadway staging without being perfect. Mr. Prince's staging was always perfect. This is surprising since one would expect to at least get an exact repl
There is so much wealth in this city. I have read that I live in the TENTH wealthiest neighborhood in Manhattan. The median incomes $161,000 - and that is with me dragging it down. Premium tickets are easily afforded by the bankers, brokers and lawyers who make this town move without giving it a thought.
Groundhog Day is one of the most complicated and interesting pieces of theater I have seen in forty years of Broadway. The other two will tour and remain in the regional rep. This may not. And it certainly will not tour with this degree of stage works. Clever stagecraft at work... and Andy Karl.
Is it okay if Walmart decides to charge more for a shirt a set of dishes to someone who is 45? Is it illegal to discriminate in this country based on age or not?
I understand the program and am happy young people are able to enjoy the theater but how is it legal to charge different prices based on age for theater but not for baseball games or hamburgers?
