Encore on Disney+  Dec 21 2019, 02:39:48 PM

Yes, it's a lot of fun!  It's a treat to see actors and musicians I've worked with, as well.  We're only on the fourth episode, but looking forward to seeing more!



Auditions per year  Dec 15 2019, 07:21:08 PM

Even working actors on Broadway can have two to three auditions a week. I have a friend in a hitBroadway musical who is always auditioning for things and hasparticipated inworkshops, all while castin a show. It's not just unknown, semi-working, still- hustling actors who audition."

I... I know?  I'm not sure how you took that from what I wrote.  I was saying "here's the example I'm giving you, for this kind of actor&


Auditions per year  Dec 15 2019, 09:47:44 AM

It depends, of course, on how many of those auditions are successful, since it's hard to audition while you're in rehearsal/performances (although it can be done), but I would say somewhere in the ballpark of 75-100.  That works out to about twice a week, which I would say averages out because sometimes it might be three one week, but only one the following week.

Everyone is different so of course there is no "typical" (maybe it's a holiday week and there


Error on Les Miz Video?  Dec 5 2019, 11:08:03 PM

I actually have that problem with every video on here. It just repeats the advertisement over and over. Eventually I stopped trying to play videos, but yes, it's a common problem (for me, at least).

David Foster premieres song from upcoming  Nov 15 2019, 02:42:12 PM

I still like Jason Robert Brown's take on it; at least it keeps it firmly planted in the original era.

Current Les Miserables tour?  Nov 4 2019, 10:02:53 AM

I had the pleasure of playing keyboard (Key 3) in the pit of this tour a few weeks ago while they were in Florida. Obviously I was focused on doing my job, haha, but from what I could hear, the cast sounded amazing and I was proud to be a small part of the production on those nights. They are in a transition period with new cast members coming in, so the energy level should be high, if that's a concern. As for the set... never saw it, I was under the stage. Mistakes on cast albums  Aug 29 2019, 05:46:40 PM

That's bizarre, because they even recreated that flub in "The People vs. OJ Simpson".  Not sure what kind of video would edit that out.

A cast recording, however, is another matter.  Just like a typo in a novel being corrected in future printings, I could see them fixing a mistake.  I can't for the life of me hear the "d" on Adam Pascal's "I have always loved you" in Your Eyes, but I'm not sure if they ever fixed that.

What was the first cast recording digitally recorded and released on CD?  Aug 29 2019, 02:51:26 PM

Not sure about cast album, but the first album to be released on CD was Billy Joel's 52nd Street, just as a bit of trivia.

That was in 1982, so perhaps the first cast album was around that time?



Are most vocal selections pretty similar from what actual broadway musicians have to play?  Aug 25 2019, 12:26:57 AM

ClapYo'Hands is absolutely correct; the vocal selections are not indicative of what Broadway musicians actually play.  For that you'd have to get your hands on the piano/conductor score, since you play piano.  That will have the official accompaniment the conductor/arranger wrote, without the melody, which is what you want.



Audition Sides - Parade  Aug 20 2019, 11:00:07 AM

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


who would read my musical synopsis  Aug 20 2019, 12:48:25 AM

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


re: sheet music for 'The Deli' from 'NEWYORKERS'?  Jul 10 2019, 05:43:11 PM

Well hopefully he found it already, since that was 11 years ago. smiley

 

Having said that, I worked with Stephen on a show of his and find him to be a talented, generous man, and I wish nothing but the best for him!

annang said: "They have brand names from the manufacturers, dishwasher and recycling info, and sometimes a model number or the manufacturer’s website. But they’re not all the same."

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!



Strangely specific question about Broadway sippy cups  Apr 21 2019, 12:41:38 AM

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!



Waitress Tour Question  Mar 18 2019, 06:06:17 PM

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


Waitress Tour Question  Mar 18 2019, 05:23:09 PM

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.  laugh
