This is a really good board but I have a couple of questions

Sorry if this isn't the right spot


1) Why don't posters have to log in.??. Until now it hasn't been a problem but immature troll posting should not be allowed on a board frequented by young performers (cough mr bastard cough). I know it's very easy to just use another email and get another account but I feel this would prevent some of the sudden drops in IQ and social intelligence that have happened recently

2) Why does each post take so long to load... other bulletin boards seem to update messages in a thread together.. sorry if that sounds petty

This is only intended as constructive criticism.. I found this board very useful

No, you were right, Seven Brides.. was also a stage show, (apparently about to be revived in Mandurah, you might want to see it).

I don't think there're any hard rules to your second question, it would entirely depend on what you're auditioning for, and what the director has asked for in the audition. If it wasn't specified to avoid a particular type of song, then I imagine you have freedom of choice to prepare whatever song you feel shows your best voice.

Cheers,
Craig
