I was bound and determined to figure this out DAMN IT!

I did it... now kill me if I ever do something stupid like this again!

>

LOL! The One Day at a TIme Lyrics or the GOdspell Lyrics?

^^

I was in Godspell in HighSchool

"Turn Back 'O Man"

^_^

^_^

I have it on video, me+big feather boa+ no stage fright = Scary Teenager singing in strangers laps!

^^

Yeah, easy song to cut out, first song after intermission with no dialogue before it.

(WHich makes it easy for the singer to come in from the back of the audience....

you just follow them back into the theatre after they drink their Kool Aid and Smoke

^_^

Oh I've been in Loads I do the character acting really. (I prefer it)

In High School: (In order)

"Camelot" (just the Chorus - Freshmen DWEEB)

"The Music Man" (Mckekney Shin (sp) The Mayor's Wife... ONE GRECIAN URN!! pick-a-little-talk-a-little-cheep-cheep-cheep-kill-me)

"Man of LaMancha" (The goofey HouseKeeper who thinks Don Miguel deCervantes (Don Quixote) is after what's in her panties and she's like 80!.... Loved that role! ^^)

"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (Just a random no name stupid person/singer extra this one wasn't a "musical", and I just sang really during Intermission and background music for this. Like a lounge Act behind the "stars".. absolutely no pressure to 'perform' ^^ just sing torch songs... YEAH!)

"Sound of Music" (Mother Abess "CLIMB EV'RY MOUNTAIN! ><)

"South Pacific" (Bloody Mary.. BALI HAaaaai!)

"Godspell" (The slut)

"Gift of the Magi" (My one and only female lead... BORING!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)


In College and After Summerstock:

"Jesus Christ Superstar" (Mary Magdelene... again the slut)

"Nunsense" (I was cast as Sister Robert Anne from New York YO!, again with the NUNS! But I moved to California right before it was set to go into production.)

I go both ends of that spectrum don't I am either a NUN or a SLUT *LOL*

I love being the character actor. Keep the lead, I want the "meaty" Roles.

I wish I could sing now like I did back then. I really had a powerhouse voice once upon a time (As you can sorta tell by the roles I played) but since 2000 when I had that brush with Mr. Death I've never gotten my singing voice back.

And not from lack of trying to build it back up either, I think the tubes they had down my throat in ICU did some damage to my vocal chords. It took me 3 months just to be able to talk above a whisper/rasp. I'd "scream" and all you heard was a lot of air. ><

I'm literally a tenor/baritone now and can go no higher in range speaking or otherwise. Than an octive at most above middle "C"

*sigh*

I do too. I always want to go to the local theaters and try-out, but the ABILITY is gone, the desire isn't.

Maybe one of these years, I'll get something back good enough to handle the part.

And I forgot one more and I cannot BELIEVE I forgot my all time FAVORITE!

College again... (And I went to VanderCook College of MUSIC so we had all sorts of creative things goin on all the time, Music geeks do that. ><)

We did a concert version of Les Miserables!

*SWOON*

No stage sets or costumes, just the entire score/concert type thing. (Like you can buy on DVD in the store, only like YEARS BEFORE that was ever even available. We're talking like 1990 here)

We all sat in chairs on the stage, dressed informally and just stood up to sing when it was our turn.

I sang Fantine's role.
"I dreamed a dream"

to this DAY it's my favorite musical score of all time. It makes me weep every time I play it.

You did a lot of things I'd have loved to have done, Improv especially, my improv consists of continuous random comedy to distract the people I'm trying to bury playing cards.

^_^

Distract them from the game tricks..

O_O

Evil? Me?
O:}

Distraction is a WONDERFUL tool

^^

*cough* I'm innocent I swear! I was framed!
