Audition Inspiration: Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

Monty

“They Don’t Make Glass Slippers” (Soho Cinders) Maybe a little contemporary, so lean away from that sound.

“It’s a Lovely Day for a Murder” (Higher and Higher by Rodgers and Hart)

Phoebe

“Carried Away” (On the Town)

“The Girl in 14G” (Tesori/Scanlan.  This one is borderline overdone, but let’s face it, it’s so good.)

 

Sibella

The Lusty Month of May (Camelot) An oldie, but a goodie, and completely appropriate.

“Somebody’s Wife” (Over the Threshold)

D’Ysquith Family

“You Won’t Succeed on Broadway”  (Spamalot)

“King Herod’s Song” (Jesus Christ Superstar)

Ensemble:  These songs can be sung by men or women.

“A Little Priest” (Sweeney Todd)

“Bargaining” (Do I Hear a Waltz)

“Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” by Tom Lehrer

As the weather turns cooler, why fight the urge to snuggle under a blanket with a bottle of wine and some quality screen time? Problem is, what to watch?

Pop Stylings for the Musical Theatre Singer

Sep 29, 2018

Anyone with sense can look at what’s playing on Broadway and see that pop music is here to stay. Catchy riffs and repetitive lyrics have proven to be just as profitable on the boards as on the radio. Yet most formal training programs have been slow to catch up to this development. Today’s Broadway singer needs to be able to move between pop and traditional Broadway as seamlessly as Jessie Mueller moving from Waitress to Carousel.
