@@Scottsteaux63 Ah yes! I finally heard a clip and I concur! I thought she would bring more of that mezzo belt out in her voice but I thought wrong. Oh well, just miscast-it happens. Can’t sing Rose “pretty”. lol Thanks for sharing 😀👍

@@yankee04 Oh interesting. I did finally hear her do a piece of “Some People” on an ad for Gypsy. Not what I was expecting. She has a beautiful voice but way too operatic sounding for Rose. I’m just too used to it being belted out. Those songs aren’t delicate or “pretty”. The part I heard didn’t sound right to me and I agree she might have been miscast. Not everyone who is talented is right for every role. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!😀👍

@@SandiTink Capezio. Thank you! I learned in heels. I find tapping in flats difficult. I have a few videos tapping in flats for certain steps but I much prefer heels😀👍

@ Thank you. Back in my teaching days, I had Capezios, but they didn’t sound clear and crisp like yours do. Since then, I’ve heard many people tap wearing Capezios, and the sound is always good like yours. I guess I had duds or they were installed improperly. If I start tapping again, I’ll definitely try the Capezios. Thanks, again!

Yes, some musical theatre roles do require much more range. And some are just more fun to sing and play around with😀 Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Keep clicking 👍😀

Thank you as always!! Really appreciate the support!🤗

@@KrystalHarwood-z1b Yes! I will be doing a video on that soon! Thanks for watching 😀

@@neo2764 Oh I could totally see her in that role! Thanks for watching 👍😀

Oh For Sure! Ariel is definitely written more for a soprano! Thanks for the great suggestions 👍😀😀

@@MrJustinleonard2 Thank you!

Thank you!🤗

@@barrysimon7187 Ah yes! Another great one for the list. Thanks for sharing 😀👍

@@karenarnett5167 Big belting are those nice big round tones usually projected from chest voice. But some singers have a very developed head voice and can “belt” or project higher notes when utilize it. Then there is a nice mix of the two. Thanks for watching!😀

@@jaybell4663 Lol…

@@jaybell4663 Thank you! Sometimes things just play out a certain way- no pun intended… theatre is a crazy ride! Just have fun, learn and observe, put it on the resume and move on😂😂🤗🤗 Thanks for watching!!👍

@@DDTC73 Well all of those things can factor into the failure of a show, I do feel bad for the cast. Thanks for sharing.

@@as.31415 Hello! So contraltos can sing anywhere from D3 (low) to maybe as high as B-flat-5… just depends on your voice, tone and texture. You may have a breathy head voice but more developed chest voice. You can always increase your range with different exercises and techniques. You may want to try vocal lessons if that’s an option for you! Just remember to breathe properly, relax your jaw and open, don’t strain and tighten your throat to belt. Engage your diaphragm to hit belt notes. Hydrate and use your sinus cavities as “speakers”, let the sound resonate in your cheeks. If you sound breathy it may be because you are not getting breath support and you are letting the sound drift away…hope these tips helped. Thanks for watching!😀

@@arxsyn I know Chita Rivera originally did the role. I believe her voice maybe a bit lower, maybe they changed keys for Ms. Williams. Thanks for watching 😀

@@stacyh154 Ah! I knew Audra would be amazing in this role! She is in everything she does! Yeah… my point in the video is it is based (loosely ) on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee- they were real people and they were white. BUT were they soooo famous that they specifically must be played by white people and it if not it will detract from the show? I think not. I believe there are some shows where gender and race should absolutely be considered in the casting. Other biographical musicals, like Jersey Boys or Ain’t Too Proud To Beg I would never cast differently than what they were in real life. We can’t get past The Four Seasons being white and The Temptations being black. I think it depends on show…Thanks for sharing!😀👍

The Rockettes are a famous dance company that have danced at Radio City Music Hall for decades. They were established in the 1920’s and given their name by a showman S.L. “Roxy” Rothafel. They are known for precision dancing and kick lines. If I make a mistake I try to correct in the video, if I find after I post, I’m like any other person- I’m not perfect- I make mistakes.☺️

@@mattm8895 Oh interesting! My best friend is one of the judges on the Tony committee this year. He has not seen that yet! I will have to ask him when he does. I am personally a big fan of Darren Criss! Thanks for sharing 😀👍

@@tapfan Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that! Warms my heart! Happy holidays to you!🎄🎄😀😀!

@@daviddale8962 Thank you so much! Happy Holidays!😄🎄🤗!

@@wwozanewmusical Well… I have been debating this with theatre friends . I believe the problem with the Fanny Brice casting was that the very essence of her comedy was making fun of her own “Jewish-ness” and if a person is not Jewish then they don’t understand what it is to be Jewish and therefore won’t get the humor or understand the character. As for non LGTBQ+ people taking on gay roles…the same could be said in reverse. LGTBQ+ actors play in straight roles all the time… There are definitely some biographical pieces I would not change like MJ the Musical- that needs to be cast a certain way, as does The Cher Musical. I think there are times to take liberties and times when it makes sense to stay true to the story and the cultural aspects of the piece. Just my thoughts. Thanks for watching. 😀

I did not catch the all female version of 1776, but I am a fan of Hamilton and Six! I think this revival will be successful. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I know the show did have success in The West End. Different times. Andrew Rannells very talented, but so is Christian Borle. I really don’t think it had anything to do with the talent of the cast, it was the timing of the show and our election. I don’t know that even waiting a few months would have helped-maybe four years…depending who wins in 2028. But what a waste of $25 million. But that’s the gamble of Broadway. Thanks for your thoughts and for watching.😀👍

@@roxiesbroadwaybreakdown5599 i agree. what a waste of money

bye the way...quick ques....have you seen the play....OH MARY???? i am thinking it might be cute...know it is very short which is good......also think want to see the musical....MANY HAPPY ENDINGS

@ Oh great! Thanks for suggestions!😀👏👏

For sure Elton John was drawn to it for those reasons. US audiences may have also been able to make light of Tammy Faye because no doubt she and her husband have been a source of comedy for years. So we have no problem with a “spoof” of their life story. But at this particular juncture in time many Americans are feeling anger, depression, grief, and anxiety about what is to come. And the Christian Nationalist movement/ MAGA is at the heart of it. We are not ready to laugh at what we feel got us here. It would be like doing Cabaret in 1945 Germany. Too soon.

@@johncarney482 Oh, thanks for pointing that out.

@@SmilesWalker Hello, so some employers like a form of post secondary education. Depending on your interests it can be a stepping stone into a variety of fields. All education can help enhance personal skills like critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration. My channel focuses on theatre so if you are looking to go into that field of being a performer that doesn’t necessarily require a degree but it would make you a more well rounded performer. If you are looking to get into production work, marketing, IT, graphic art, publishing, teaching this maybe a great degree for you. There are many options of course outside the realm of theatre in administration, web design, physical therapy or wherever your creativity and talents take you. A degree is a piece of paper that you do work hard for grant it, but you are the person with the skills, talent and dreams! Think big! Good luck😀👍Thanks for sharing.

@@roxiesbroadwaybreakdown5599 Yeah I've been a theater major. I graduated from a performing art high school, shortly after I attended college in Hollywood at AMDA. I got excused because I oversleep and then had to take an absence. I was trying to work on getting my BFA. Now afterwards though out the decade I did get bit jobs with a listers from music videos to extra work with a listers, and a few short films I got to act in and the list goes on. I always decided to work on prop work and sound and lighting and got paid behind the scenes for that, now the college im going to attend to continue where I left off has classes for that and so I can better align myself with the work back stage and being an actor. Yes I have gotten alot of nay saysers close to me saying get a job this do part time that and I NEED MONEY. Now I want to finish with a degree in associates, bachelor, and masters. I just hope my family and partner can hang in there with me. I'm also trying to get a job at a movie theater part time before my classes start. Im trying to regain strength again to continue on. My partner asked reccently what do I hope to get out of my degree and what will that go to..I was appalled a little and simply stated that theater work behind the scenes and on stage. Im in Flordia right now and no longer in California, hopefully Flordia treats me well.

@@MrJustinleonard2 You are very welcome!😀

@@jennatomashosky8624 Yes to all of those! Especially And I Am Telling You…I still give Jennifer Holliday the edge over Jennifer Hudson even though Hudson is amazing! Which one do you prefer? So many great musicals! Thanks for sharing 😀

@@roxiesbroadwaybreakdown5599 I also prefer Jennifer Holliday. I can’t believe she was only 21.

@@jennatomashosky8624 Oh Wow! I didn’t realize she was THAT young when she did the role! Even more impressed now! Well, I learn something new everyday!😊

@@mijalheinrich4331 Oh, so I just read this comment. I replied to your other one and asked what kind of songs/voices you identify with? Judas is a huge role! It sounds like you have a very unique voice and should embrace it! If you can hit tenor notes you are definitely a contralto, perhaps mezzo mix. If you can belt the notes totally embrace that for musical theatre! As for softening the tones or being more melodic that may take practice to smooth transition to your head voice. There are exercises and breathing techniques for that. Are you currently taking voice lessons?😀 Just curious..one on one training can really help with vocal technique and hone your natural talent. It seems like you have a huge range, it may take someone to guide you in finding the right mix for your vocal abilities and learn smooth transitions.😊👍Thanks for reaching out! Hope this helps.
