yes. its another WAAPA question.
Fri, 23 Sept 2005, 07:17 pmhello,
sorry, but this is another WAAPA question (hey it's just that time of year!).
For musical theatre, (certificate and BA), we are required to perform one balled and one contemporary piece of music from music theatre repertoire.
If the two pieces are from different shows, does it matter if both shows are by Stephen Sondheim?
or would it be better to change that too?
thank-you,
Laura

Re: yes. its another WAAPA question.
hi laura,
look i probably woulodnt recommend doing two sondheim songs because you want to show the panel that you have and know a broad knowledge of music/writers. It depends though whether your doing something from 'Follies' and then 'Sweeney Todd' because there's quite a bit of difference there. Have a think about it, i'm sure your the best judge of whether they contrast.
Hope that helps!

Re: yes. its another WAAPA question.
hi,
i'd be inclined to agree with LJ. two sondheims may seem a little...full on. however, the panel of any audition are able to tell if they like you within the first few bars of a song, so if you sing it well, the choice of song really isn't too much of an issue.
if you sing them well, and you're confident in your ability, you'll be fine.
cheers

Re: yes. its another WAAPA question.
I tend to agree but it might not be an issue
Sondheim's musicals aren't actually my favourites (ducks to avoids thrown vegetables) but he's very high on most people's list
