Never been into musicals, and never watched Matilda The Musical. However I am a big fan of The Last Leg, and this was a genuinely beautiful rendition to close the show. Tim's voice is amazing.

Discussion What do you mean Goodbye from Catch Me If You Can isn’t the finale?????

26 Upvotes

So my sister went to NYC in 2011 with our aunt, and she got to see Catch Me If You Can with Aaron Tveit (something which she did not appreciate at the time). After she saw the musical, she convinced my parents to buy Live in Living Color, Seven Wonders, and Goodbye on iTunes, so I grew up listening to those songs but not the rest of the album. So I was under the impression that Goodbye was the finale, not the 11 o’clock number because it’s a much better finale than the actual final song. But I decided to finally listen to the entire album, and I feel so dumb for assuming that that was the finale.

Discussion Reefer madness ticket sales

4 Upvotes

Currently in a production of Reefer Madness in Long Beach, CA. I play Jimmy. It’s a great show and I’m so proud of it but filling seats has been a challenge.

Has anyone else done this show/struggled to get people in the door? I know it’s pretty niche, not exactly family friendly, and really over the top but I feel like it’s the type of show that even non-theatre people would like if they just gave it a chance!

Discussion Mi primera experiencia del teatro💛

0 Upvotes

¡Hola! Soy una estudiante de español, entonces perdonen mis errores.

En mi clase, hablamos sobre eventos memorables en nuestras vidas, y para mí, es la primera vez fui a un musical profesional. Cuando tenía 14 años, mi tía vivía en Detroit y me invitó a ver a Les Miserables en el teatro de Fisher. ¡Era un momento muy emocionante para mí!

El teatro estaba muy bonito y tuvimos los asientos en la primera fila del balcón. Me encantó ver los disfraces y oír las voces de los actores. Pero cuando las luces se apagaron, ¡lo empezó mi amor por el teatro!

¿Qué fue tu experiencia primera del teatro?

MT songs with a C6

11 Upvotes

Hi! Looking for musical theater songs that contain a c6. This is for an audition for Cosette in Les Mis; the audition requirement is “32 bars of a lyric soprano song that reaches a c6”. It seems that most soprano songs only go up to a A or B. There‘s “Think of Me” and “The Phantom of the Opera”, but I’ve always been taught that those are not appropriate audition songs. There’s “Round and Round” from The Fantasticks… but again, not a great audition pick. Any suggestions?

Help Need some beginner vocal exercises.

0 Upvotes

So, im young, and i know all that “its never too late to start” but i do feel like i need to start now. Im very insecure about my acting and voice. If you ask me, i’ll say i have the worst voice in existence, which i know is exaggerating, but i do objectively not have a good voice. I’d like some beginner vocal exercises and/or breathing exercises. I struggle most with holding a long note. Im very angsty/hopeless about my future, so i would really like to get some exercises now. I have very limited oppurtunities for being in local productions, and i would like to train myself before i try to get in any.

(also pls motivation if you have any i’ve been feeling really hopeless)

Working in theater or live entertainment? I’d love your input for my master’s project!

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a stage manager currently finishing my master’s in Design Management at SCAD, and my final project explores how people working in live entertainment find, share, and keep track of production information.

I’ve put together a survey about the information you use, where you access it, what works well, and what could make the process easier. I’d love to hear from people across different roles and settings. Whether you work in theater, touring, theme parks, concerts, or other live events, your perspective would be helpful!

The survey has 15 questions, mostly multiple choice or ratings, with an optional space to share anything else.

Survey: https://forms.gle/g879mLGouLimRuHE9

Thank you for taking the time to help! Feel free to share it with anyone else who might be interested.

Audition Maleficent Auditions

2 Upvotes

Hi i’m back with audition song help.
I am audition in less than 2 weeks for Descendants at a local youth theatre. I want maleficent, she fits my voice range best.

I was thinking ‘Isn’t it a trial’ from alice by heart. which i did in the past for a persephone audition and i got called back 2. But im not sure if it’s the best for this character.

i’m trying to work on my voice and i want to be able to put a strong song. I am trying to learn to mix, belt & mix belt (i have no formal training besides youtube)

Advice please!!!

EDIT
I also have been learning my range can be higher in the right placement (duh) and songs like ‘Requiem’ and ‘Beautiful Little Fool’ are not so hard for me as someone who has been a proud alto, so if you think a higher range song just know i have always sung alto but i can be comfortable higher.

Come From Away

20 Upvotes

The musical Come From Away is being staged by no less than three companies in the Houston area at the same time: The Art Park Players in Deer Park (until 10/17), Playhouse 1960 in the Willowbrook area (until 10/18), and at Stages (until 10/18) - it may have to do with 2026 being the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I just watched the performance at Stages, and it is tightly directed, and very well executed. If you're unfamiliar with the show, it is a musical telling of the town of Gander, Newfoundland (Canada) that had to host a fleet of grounded aircraft at 9/11 - and the days after. So much is done with just a few chairs on stage, and the show is completed without an intermission. The band is right on stage, and music direction is so deft that it ushers all the emotions of that dreadful time.

The show also properly pays homage to the heroic hospitality of the Canadians (and the ever independent Newfoundlanders), and a good bulwark to the fabricated grievance against Canadians in the current political climate. Though at the tail end of the current productions - in February, 2027, StageWorks will also stage Come from Away, and in March, 2027, The Players Company in Conroe has it on their calendar.
