Wouldn't it depend on what the casting director/theatre company is requesting? It's not like there are standard sides that are always used for every production. If I'm the music director of Parade and I only have time to hear 16 bars, do I want to hear You Don't Know This Man, or do I maybe want a part of This Is Not Over Yet to hear how you handle harmony?
I think it would be easy enough to find a random company's choice for sides online, but if you
Wait, you list a 772 area code here, which just happens to be where I live, but your website says 773, which is Chicago. So where are you based?
Anyway, in my opinion, there's not much you can do with a synopsis. You need to flesh out the script, round up some actors and musicians, and present it to the public. Maybe just friends and family at first; something informal so you can get feedback and opinions. Then go back and rewrite the script, try t

Ah, okay. If you have one would you mind PMing me what's on the bottom? I'm more interested in the manufacturer/brand name than the dishwasher/recycling info. Thanks!
You know the ones. Would anyone who has one be able to tell me if there are any markings or etchings on the bottom, such as a product number or city of origin? Thank you in advance!
I was actually off-stage, playing Keyboard 2 and some percussion. I was actually hoping I could have gone with them to OKC since it's my hometown and my family is still there, but alas, they only needed me for Florida.
The band travels with the show; it just so happens the keyboardist needed a couple of weeks off and I had known him from my time in NY, but I now live in Florida. So he called me to take over for Miami and Jacksonville. Lots of fun, and gl
ArtMan, you heard me playing in the band. I played the Jacksonville and Miami shows. Funny, I didn't even know they were selling pies, although it makes sense! And yes, it was fun to tell people who was playing Joe.

In fact, as much as I enjoyed it the first time, I’ve never seriously considered seeing it again on Broadway until now. Sadly, I probably won’t make it back to NYC before he leaves the show."
I just finished a week of subbing in the band for the tour you'
If you're counting unpublished musicals, I wrote one that takes place in 1984, "Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal". We did a reading of it in Manhattan and I'm hoping see a full production someday soon.
Is that true? To use the OP's metaphor, what if you were caught with weed (in a non-legalized state)? Would you be okay if you hadn't made it yourself? What if it was something even more criminal, like child pornography or something? Wouldn't you be in trouble even though you didn't film it yourself?
I didn't see the link either and don't own any bootlegs, but I'm curious about this statement of ownership and responsibility.
Just be aware that, just like actors, music directors/conductors have subs and sometimes call out, so just because he's listed in the Playbill doesn't necessarily mean that's who you saw. There would have been a sign out front, under the cast list, that said "This evening's performance conducted by..." or something similar.
BPfan81 said: I did not know that they don't use the stick anymore, that is so interesting! If you will, which of the books recommended above would you think is the preferable book for a person like me who has no idea of a conductor's role and the orchestra in general, and wants an introduction to the craft (for lack of a better word!)
Well as I mentioned, I haven't read either one of them, but I would say if you're looking to specifically learn about Bro
Oh yeah, Ted Sperling is fun. Got to work with him a while back. By the way, you probably already know this, but very few shows these days have the luxury (or really, the necessity, due to the prevalence of more pop/rock on Broadway) of having a stick conductor. Nowadays the conductor is usually also playing keyboard, and conducting with a combination of his hands and head.
I'm certainly no Joseph Church or Ted Sperling, but it is what I do for a living, so if any
I admit I haven't read it yet, but a well-respected music director in NY recently published a book called "Music Direction for the Stage: A View from the Podium". You may want to check that out, since it would specifically be geared toward conducting in the Broadway industry.
WldKingdomHM said "I worked in a theater in NJ where she performs once a year.", which means he/she was employed by the theatre, not Linda Eder. They probably work backstage on whatever show or act comes in. Not saying one is better than the other, but it's an important distinction to make, that perhaps she had a bad day in front of someone she had never met before and probably will never see again, as opposed to someone who habitually treats her &
