So, my first post of next semester! (I know its not technically next semester, but I've already exceeded the requirement for semester 1, so I think this could fairly go on next semester, right Jenny????????)
We had our read through/ cast meeting today, and I'm a bit disappointed by what this show might become. Mrs. Poletti is very focused on plot, and is deleting songs that don't advance it (like, everything....cb barely has a plot)
Including Beethoven Day, Glee Club, and very very likely Book Report, which were my three favourites, but I'm more concerned about her possibly cutting Philosophy, My Blanket and Me, and Little Known Facts. I know and understand her focus on the story line, but cb is a character play, and we could make these numbers AMAZING. Is honestly, since Charlie Brown is basically the plot, taking all those other songs away would just make it the Charlie Brown Show, no other characters excepts as background singers and a few monologues. Oddly, enough the rights totally allow cutting it, as long as exceeds 45 minutes.
Luckily, Mrs. Poletti welcomes argument, so I'm currently writing a disertation as to why my song needs to stay, I really hope I can convince her, I was really excited about singing...
I'm still sad about those other numbers....*sigh*
I'm also angsting over my governor's school audition-the dance section, as I've lamented in almost all of my posts, kills. And their limits on picking monologues are impossible (less so that last year, still) nothing preceding 1970, no GB Shaw, Tennessee Williams, Niel Simon, Shakespeare, etc etc etc. Cannot be from a monologue book, musical, screenplay, must be age/gender/race appropriate, both monologues and transitions must be under 3 minutes. Yay?
And there are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000s of kids auditioning, including those annoying triple-threat dance, act, sing kids are deify themselves because of it-types. Love them....
Do I even have a chance?
