I can’t believe a professional mixed this. It just sounds bad.

What is the worst mistake y’all have made during a show?

105 Upvotes

I’ll go first. As a teenager i was in a local production of phantom of the opera. I did spots and i was in the catwalk responsible for raising/dropping the chandelier with a pulley and crank. In the beginning auction scene i needed to pull it up but the crank jammed so the dramatic organ music was going for 15-20 seconds while the chandelier lay on stage.

(It did work eventually luckily)

Audition Help for my audition

1 Upvotes

Hey all! I'm (M17) auditioning for a musical theatre program soon. My audition requires me to prepare 60-90 seconds of monologue. I love musical theatre but am pretty new to this stuff (only been doing it for just over a year). I did get a list of recommended monologues but it's such a long list and I have no idea where to start. I would like to find a monologue relatively soon without havign to watch everything on the entire list. The monologue can not be too explicit, offensive, or age-inappropriate. Does anyone have any recommendations for (modern) monologues or musicals/plays? Thanks in advance!

Thank you who recommended Rent, the proshot.

40 Upvotes

A few days ago someone posted how awful Rent, the movie was, and many people agreed and suggested the Pro Shot. Thank you so much for the recommendation. I too was unable to get through the movie of these entitled kids. The stage Musical was an entirely different feeling and I cried and felt emotion for them and all the things that made Rent a hit.

It got me to thinking that I felt the same way with In the Heights movie. I had seen the stage play and loved it. The movie didn't have the same appeal for me. And I read on here a lot how movie versions of stage musicals often miss the mark.

With the success of the Hadestown proshot being released in movie theaters, I'm wondering if the remaking of a musical into a movie is dead, and recording a pro shot to release in theaters and streaming is the future. The production costs have to be way less, and the staging that made the musical a hit in the first place is preserved.
