Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am too.

Shows I've seen:
Cats
Beauty and the Beast
Noises Off (not a musical)
Suds!
Dads! The musical.
Sound of Music (not a musical)
Much Ado about Nothing (?) (not a musical)
Macbeth
Phantom of the Opera
sadly most of these are community plays because I don't make it to a big theatre often. and I've seen a ton more movie wise

Shows I've been in:
Anne of Green Gables - Mrs. Pye
The Wiz- Scarecrow
Importance of Being Earnest - Gwendolen Fairfax (not a musical)
Pirates of Penzance - Edith
Luxury Cruise - Lillian Gregory (not a musical)
The Day Billy Lived - way too many characters (not a musical)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead - musician (not a musical)

I love theatre and I love singing. I've taken drama classes at my school too. It's so much fun to watch and much much more realistic than movie wise.

seems like we've all been a part of something. Beauty and the Beast was wonderful but I wished I fully remembered it.

It counts! In my opinion, band, stage crew and acting all count. I was Assistant Director for one of the things I was in although I didn't really need to do much but I was second boss.

you where in fame?!?!? I loved that musical...but our school had to cut some of the lyrics out....which were the best!!!! I like the main theme song..( and i could still remember the lyrics! "FAME!! IM GOING TO LIVE FOREVER,IM GONNA TO LEARN HOW TO FLY (HIGH)") HEHE!

You played Serena? isn't she the one with Tyrone...or was it Nick? (its been so long ago... i don't remember who's who...)

one of my solos was "think of meryl streep" i couldn't stand that song..lol.. it was so annoying. it was a slower song, so i didn't have any dancing to do. i just had marks that i was supposed to get to by a certain line in the song. it turned out no one else really liked that song either..lol..

I've never actually seen a live musical/opera...though I wish I have...but some of the ones I've seen bits of that I loved were
arrow Wicked
arrow Phantom of the Opera
arrow Cats
arrow The Sound of Music


and then I was in my schools production of The Pirates of Penzance. pirate blaugh heart

I wish I had had more confidence to try out for musicals back when I was in high school. The only one I was ever in was Guys and Dolls, and I was Martha, a mission band girl with a name, but no lines. We did a Broadway review in a chorale I was in, though, and I had some solos from Les Mis (Bring Him Home, On My Own), Lion King (Circle of Life), and Rent (I don't know the name of it - it started with "There is no future..." but I don't remember the rest of the words.

I've seen:
Miss Saigon
Les Miserables
Jekyll & Hyde
Gypsy
Beauty & the Beast
Camelot

I'm trying to think if there were any others I'd seen...I know there were, but I was really young. I did love watching the old musicals on TV, though. I really loved each show I saw, though I was a wee bit disappointed with Jekyll and Hyde, only because my suitemate in college had the original soundtrack and by the time I saw the show, they made some major changes - took out "Bring on the Men" and put in some other song that wasn't as good and then changed Lisa Carew's name to Emma Carew, which really messed up this one song where Jekyll is supposed to be wailing Lisa's name - it was a part I really, really liked!

My dream roles would be:
Fiddler on the Roof - 2nd oldest daughter - the one who follows her love to Siberia
Beauty & the Beast - Belle

Oklahoma would have been fun too, just to be one of the girls in it, not even a major role. But the Fiddler and B&tB roles, I've wanted to do for years!
