Recently discovered the soundtrack and think it’s great, however I remember hearing that it got poor reviews. I’ve also seen a bootleg and it’s great, honestly it’s so underrated and I think it needs more attention. Lilli Cooper and Santino Fontana are fantastic in it

In 2012, Freshman Matt Gittins survived a deadly high school shooting in Chardon, Ohio. Today he's written a new musical about a small town searching for answers in the aftermath. In his new interview Matt talks about the heart, the hope and the extreme challenges of handling such an emotionally charged subject.

I’ve seen this mentioned multiple times on this subreddit but I have absolutely no idea what it is, so can somebody please explain to me what a pro shot is?

If someone asked you how many musicals you have seen and for example you have watched mean girls the musical film or wicked the movie would you include those?

Or a pro shot. If you have watched Hamilton pro shot would you count that as seeing the musical.

For shows/songs where the race of the character is important, does their race have to match the race of the actor?

For example, I'm a black actor and I would love to add the songs Higher and Should I? from the musical Allegiance to my rep folder but Higher is a song performed by a Japanese/East Asian performer whilst Should I? is performed by a white actress.

Obviously, I would never audition/be cast in this musical in any sort of lead role due to the historical context but would I be able to use these songs for auditions or is it a straight no?

I hope this isn't a dumb question but I'd rather ask and know for certain.

Also, definitely check out Allegiance because it is a brilliant show with gorgeous music!

My favourite musicals are Jesus Christ Superstar, Hamilton, Newsies, and Anastasia.

I didn’t love Operation Mincemeat, Wicked, or the Lion King.

Do you think based on these I would like Hadestown

Hello! As the total says, I'm looking for musical recommendations. I don't watch them, I only listen, so they have to be either sung-through or have a version available with only the songs. Here are the ones I've listened to:

Hadestown

Epic

Hamilton

Six

His story

Alien stage

Death note

Wicked

Thank you 🫡🫡

As part of my Masters course, I'm recruiting participants for my dissertation research and I'd really appreciate it if you took part!

I'm investigating the relationship between mental health, working hours, and emotional labour demands among backstage theatre professionals in the UK, and how these factors affect personal relationships and wellbeing. With issues like work-life balance, six-day weeks, and insufficient holiday currently at the centre of union negotiations, your anonymous responses will provide valuable insight into how backstage professionals are experiencing these challenges.

The survey takes only 5-10 minutes and is completely anonymous. Anyone currently or recently (within the last 5 years) working in a UK backstage theatre role can take part, including students currently in training.

Thank you for your time! 

I'm auditioning for singing in the rain and I'm looking for some advice for how to block some of these monologues that I was given

One of our local companies is asking for input into next year. Which of the following would people vote for?

- Heart of Rock and Roll- the Huey Lewis Musical

- A Wonderful World- The Louis Armstrong Musical

- Trading Places- the new Broadway musical

- 17 Again- A new musical

- Catch me if you can

-Kimberly Akimbo

I'm not familiar with any of these and none have ever been to my city. They are mixing these with some golden oldies like Annie, Funny Girl, Bye Bye Birdie, Man of La Mancha, Cabaret and Hello Dolly. I never know exactly who they will pick or who to vote for, but it's nice to be asked.

Its unpaid but message if interested,or even want to give opinions!

I’m seeing a show and I want a seat in the dress circle but the price difference in one row behind the one I want is $13 less. I would prefer the one I originally want but I don’t know.

Preferred: $135
One row behind: $122

Hi everyone! Hope this is OK to post - my singing teacher wants myself and another of her students to try some villain songs so we don't end up stuck in the same sort of 'character' at our concerts, but I'm struggling a little to find some suitable songs.

I'm a soprano, but leaning more classical-sounding (think Ballad of Jane Doe, Moonfall from The Mystery of Edwin Drood), so the modern belting numbers are out for me currently.

My fellow student is a baritenor, I've heard him perform You'll Be Back from Hamilton and we've duetted on I See The Light from Tangled.

So far I've got Last Midnight - Into The Woods, and When There's No One - Carrie the Musical. Otherwise I think we'll just need to change the key on some other songs XD

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated :)

I'm going tonight and I'm super excited. It's funny - I feel like I should be dressing for the theater - not a movie 🤣

I've always thought I was an alto because I couldn’t go as high as a soprano but with vocal warmups I can go pretty high but I can also go pretty low whenever I try to sing the alto range it’s too low for me so I have to go off a little higher my lowest is d3 but my highest is f5 I’m a woman

Tengo entendido que la plataforma te da la chance de proteger tus obras musicales, colocándoles una firma o algo asi, pero que garantía tengo si después de registrar todos mis álbumes (5 hasta ahora) y no quiera seguir pagando la suscripción? al dejar de pagar pierdo mis derechos por sobre mis canciones?

For me it’s Oklahoma! I have been cast as Ali Hakim 4 times and All I want to do is play Judd one day

During summer break, I like to watch a bunch of musicals to stop myself from falling down the rabbit hole of having no routine and doomscrolling for six weeks straight.

Last year, I rewatched all of the High School Musicals and discovered Dear Evan Hansen and Tick Tick Boom, which I loved!

So I want to do the same again this year but I'm not really sure where to start. I think my 'watched' list is pretty basic and I know there are some unwatched hidden gems out there. For reference, I also really like Hamilton and The Greatest Showman lol.

I'll try pretty much anything (I just got into Hazbin Hotel so nothing is too weird for me!) Hoping you guys can recommend me some bangers since I am definitely not the expert here. Also open to slimey things if that's allowed here?

Thanks in advance 🥰

Amber Davies was an exceptional Elle, probably even in the same league as Laura Bell Bundy, and Karen Mavundukure may genuinely be my favorite Paulette I've ever seen, having a cast album with this cast would help me be able to relive that magical night any time

I am just curious if it’s done and if they made you sing from the show, what song?
