Mister Matt, thank you, that is exactly how I feel when choosing audition pieces. And this is for a cattle call, so it's not like Im auditioning for a specific show. Thanks.
EDIT: My best friend was told to never sing "Anthem" for an audition. He did it anyway. He blew all the casting directors out of the water and he got a TON of call backs and has had amazing jobs since then. It goes to show that it can pay off when you follow your own instinct.

Wow that is very tragic. I will def try and find the movie but all your info was most helpful. Thank you SO much for the info on the song. It really helps for me to understand her character now. Thanks again.
Yes I know it's Wildhorn...but no one EVER does this song! It's one thing if I did Someone Like You, but I would never sing that. This one is hardly ever done for an audition for some reason. I've asked everyone, even profesional theatre directors from the past if they had he

"Gold" from Wildhorn's Camille Claudel Mar 4
2009, 08:46:57 PM
Hello thespians!
I'm singing the beautiful song "Gold" from the Linda Eder Broadway My Way for an audition and I need to know a thorough plot and story to the musical. I've researched on many websites but still can't find a specific synopsis for the show. I do know she is a sculptor who had an affair with her mentor and realized they couldn't love each other because they were "competition" But thats all the info I can find. I just want to know why Camille sings the Gold, what is the mo

Does anyone remember this movie? I was watching it the other day and I think it would be a fantastic movie!!! Another Ricki Lake movie turned into a musical I know, but it would be so cute, fun! When I watched the movie the other day, I thought of many possible places to insert a song at and it would work greatly. Plus she and Shirley MacClaine's character sing 'Sunny Side of the Street' and they did a great job with it! They could do that song at that point or just simply have another written

I would personally love to see it on Broadway. I think it would be awesome!
It's funny tho that Val Kilmer was in the 10 Commandments in LA and he also did the voice of Moses/God in The Prince of Egypt....just sayin'!

Can I just say how much I loved Beth Malone's voice, especially in The Life I Led....I'm like....must have sheet music to this...now! Hehe! I think the show is really cute and maintains the silly, cute essence of the movie. It does need to be tweaked. I really hated Dress to Kill, but I did like 'Lady in the Long Black Dress' those 3 guys sounded amazing together and I just love all the 70's references. I think it does need to be recast some, but I would def keep Beth Malone if possible, and

I think Jack Black would be too busy with his film work. I think he has some upcoming projects that he would be just too busy. But I could be wrong.

Craig I totally agree, I think she can still do Lizzie. She still looks like she's in early 20's on stage IMO. I don't see her as a Pam at all. And yeah, it's a concert version anyway.

I am however interested in how the casting will be done for this show. And maybe it will end up being good, who knows? As of right now, I'm not so sure.

re: David Alan Grier as Pseudolus in Forum? Jan 12

I would have LOVED to see Whoopi and Nathan in this. Especially Whoopi! I always find it interesting when they cast someone who is non-traditional and they pull it off really well. And I'm sure Whoopi did with her brilliant comedic timing. I have actually seen a girl do this role...but she didn't pull it off at all. I think it would be so much (especially for me!) to play this role!

re: Burt Bacharach's Daughter commits suicide... Jan 10
2007, 12:52:34 PM
I know this is completely off topic but I just wanna clear things up about Asberger's, coming from someone who actually does have it.
The thing about having Asberger's syndrome is that it's very controllable in most cases. It is a form of autism but an extremely milder form. It makes it hard for someone with Asberger's to pick up on social cues, they often grow up with speech problems, odd behaviors,learning disadvantages etc. But most people withlead on to very normal lives. And of course, many who have Aspberger's have a certain "savant" or extreme interest in a certain subject. For me it's def music, musical theatre and movies. I know random facts about each of these and I can name the year date of a musical, composers, random facts. I know a lot of you guys do too but I'm just giving an example. I think my growing up with a passion for music is the reason why I have perfect pitch as well. This may explain why Bacharach's daughter "loved earthquakes" because she was fasinated by geology and wanted to know everything there is to know about it. Just like I do with musical theatre. And doing theatre and performing saved me I think. It helped me to be collabortive and it taught how to be creative. It also helped me from not being so shy as I used to.
This disorder is very special in most cases and many famous people are diagnosed with it as well. Einstein, Isaac Newton, Andy Worhol, Bill Gates and Dan Ackroyd are only a few of many famous people who were either diagnosed or believed they may have had AS. And most people lead on to many successful lives with AS. And in cases like Bacharach's daughter some don't. It's very hard to be in a relationship with someone who has AS. I've talked to several with AS who have had similiar problems as I have with dating. So that does make me sad. It's hard for me to speak well in conversations. I have many "word vomits" and being really close to someone like inches apart makes me extremely nervous. That's where the autistic traits come in. Therefore many do get depressed about having AS.
I know I never will be depressed about anything. I love the way my life is going right now and I just don't see how I can be unhappy. Even growing up being picked on and teased constantly didn't scar me a bit. I only wish I can say the same for Nikki. I wish she hadn't of let this disorder destroy her. It's a gift really. Yes it's hard and difficult to live with sometimes, but overall, it's a gift. It makes me who I am. And I'm really really sad for her and the family. I wish nothing but the best for them.
I didn't mean to go off on a tangent. But I just want you guys to know what it's like having this disorder.
Look at this website and if you want to know more about AS. It's pretty fascinating. If you have any more questions for me please let me know!

it's not off topic, she was an actress.
I'm so sad about this. I also have Asperger's Syndrome and it terrifies me that some people let this disorder lead them to a state of depression. It makes my life hard sometimes but I don't let it control my life either. It's just so unforunate that this kind of stuff happens everyday. The family is in my prayers.
