STAAAAHP 😂😂😂😂
i came here from glee😂😂
Honestly yes
OH MA GOOOOOOD
Megan Callahan shut up
Her acting really sells this medley. Doing a good job of deliberately bad acting s a very hard skill, but oh man, the way her face goes when she sings "Jamie is gone" and then the little head look to the side. I was fucking dying already.
This is ridiculously brilliant and so well executed indeed. And yeah, people underestimate how hard it is to do good "bad" acting or singing
The amount of gays saying 'yas' in the audience is astounding and I love it and I feel at home
It concerns me you have a massive amount of gay people just out of view screaming "yas" at you in your home all the time. You should probably move. And if you keep hearing them go to an exorcist or a therapist.
PhoenixFires What, you don’t?
@@Larissawesome Nope. But I currently am getting weird post mortem videos in my recommended of deceased adults and infants from the Victorian era. It is terrifying. And they are getting more common as I press the "not interested in content" option.
Alyanna de Guzman I love how clearly you can tell it’s Andy Randy
sounds like Jesse Tyler Ferguson
I'm sorry, but that transition from defying gravity to gimme gimme was t h e b e s t t h i n g i v e e v e r h e a r d
YAS!
HER COMEDIC TIMING IS UNREAL I'M SCREAMING
i love how judgey theater is- like don't sing these at auditions cuz they're overdone... cuz they're popular... cuz they show off your range... sing some other secret song... that shows off your skills... that NO ONE ELSE has heard of either... but make sure it's catchy... and popular...preferably something the pianist has played before
ffs
Oliver The Chinchilla haha... "No One Else"... from Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812. I see what you did there.
rlly tho. i went into an audition once and handed the accompanist a song he’d never played before because it was “too obscure” (IT WAS A CHANGE IN ME FROM BEAUTY IN THE BEAST) and he asked me to do my contemporary rock song which was sign of the times by harry styles. it was an audition for the last five years.
Oliver The Chinchilla I don't relate to this from a theater standpoint (I can't hold a note for more than a millisecond, theater was never in the cards), but it speaks to me anyways. 👍🏽
Lol wtf, they need a new accompanist
I think the goal is to not do something that will compare you to every other person doing it. (The "do not sing lists" are getting a bit too long, but the general idea is that you want something "less done", especially as the field keeps being flooded by college grads who have all taken rep classes and have rep coaches.) I think of it like showing up in a little black dress. Unless the dress fits you SO well that it makes people stop and stare, I think you're better off with something a little more adventurous. I've heard tales of people in casting remembering people as "red earrings" before.
I think at the -community- level these lists are a bit useless. If there's only 12 people auditioning for the role, you probably don't need to stick out like you would at a cattle call.
The transition from The Wizard and I to Astonishing is AMAZING
Daniel Stephens One could say it's... astonishing
I'm sorry.
Lieutenant Thalia don't apologize XD It was delightful, delicious and de-lovely
As is the transition from Defying Gravity to Gimme Gimme :) xx
Lieutenant Thalia you took my joke
i’d love to see a guys version with waving through window, corner of the sky, santa fe, being alive, micheal
in the bathroom, and a bunch of others i can’t think of
+maria, johanna, music of the night, giants in the sky
Add Maria and If I were a rich man to that list
I feel like Wait for Me and Wait For It are going to join the list at some point
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Corner of the Sky I can understand - I learned that song in Musical Theater class in 7th grade which was 1979. Imagine how many times they have heard it.
“Somewhere that’s...” *starts singing as Elphaba instead of singing the word green*
Genius.
Finally got around to putting together all the lyrics, so if anyone else wants them:
(Still Hurting - The Last Five Years)
Jamie is over and Jamie is gone
Jamie's decided it's time to move on
Jamie has new dreams he's building upon
(On My Own - Les Mis)
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
(Somewhere That's Green - Little Shop of Horrors)
Far from Skid Row
I dream we'll go
somewhere that's
(The Wizard and I - Wicked)
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know - it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday there'll be
A celebration throughout Oz
That's all to do with me!
And I'll stand there with the Wizard
Feeling
(Astonishing - Little Women)
Astonishing
Astonishing
I'll find my way
I'll find it far away
I'll find it in unexpected and unknown
I'll find my life in my own way
Today
Here I go
And there's no turning back
My great adventure has begun
I may be small
But I've got giant plans
To shine as brightly as the sun
(Don't Rain on My Parade - Funny Girl)
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole she-bang
One throw, that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot, and bam
Hey, Mister Arnstein, here I am
(Defying Gravity - Wicked)
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!”
(Gimme Gimme - Thoroughly Modern Millie)
dove! Sing, sparrow!
Gimme fat boy's famous arrow
Gimme, gimme that thing called love!
(And the last note is from Defying Gravity)
Care Vano you're a bloody saint 🙌🏻
Care Vano e
Care Vano iii
Care Vano
Care Vano very useful thanks
Petition for her to be the next Karen Smith in Mean Girls
Davie-The- Potterhead but she looks so much like Gretchen!
@@cruisindownthestreetinmy6490 that's what wigs and makeup are for ;)
That's Annaleigh Ashford's job now hunny
The character transitions made me laugh so hard I almost died.
If I hear one more girl sing “She Used to Be Mine” for their IE
Or any female solo song from Les Mis honestly.
Oop, I was gonna do that for my IE but ill see if a lot of different people will do it 😅
She really came for Rachel Berry’s entire career and existence👏
Ending with that Defying Gravity note was literal genius.
I heard the FIRST FEW NOTES AND SCREAMED GIRL THIS IS TOO REAL
She looks like Meredith Stepien
A year late, but I was thinking the same thing...
I thought that too!
i thought it was 😂
I literally had to check the title of the video lol
whoever still sings on my own at auditions what is you doing! also, her stage presence is incredible! and what a voice!
gabrielle.s my friend did on my own at our state competition and she qaulified for nationals for the national thespian festival 2019 haha
Joseph Dylan but that aint an audition shes singing it for competition broski
tasminemma you have to audition for competitions dum dum
Yknow they’re probably singing something that’s suits their voice and they like but hey! That’s just a theory!
I feel attacked...I did this not long ago 🤦🏻♀️😂
I'm pretty sure the audience still hasn't recovered from how unbelievable this performance was! I know I haven't! Holy crap.
Hilarious, her voice is great too
My gosh this crowd is amazing
If there were ever an audition when you could actually sing the whole song this would be amazing
Crash the EPAs. There's never anyone there, they see non-union and you get to sing a whole song
She is the exact picture of Hermione Granger that I had in my head when reading the Harry Potter books as a child!
I relate to this on a spiritual level
vernii mirnii yes - it flows along our lifetime like an observation from a choir
I'm suprised there was no Phantom in there
tbh i think phantom just scares people away because the opera-esque technique needs to be 1000% perfect to sound good
phantom doesn’t really have audition songs
There aren’t many shows like Phantom so people don’t use it when auditioning.
Y'all don't know the Yeston version, me thinks This Place is Mine (I shouldn't share that) is in my book
@@fatherterry1017 I mean, if you're a girl, there's "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," and if you're a guy, there's "Music of the Night." They're both good for showing range and emotion (and also wildly popular, which means producers won't want to hear them so the point is moot).
I heard that first note from The Last Five Years and I was ready.

*rachel berry left the group chat*
who else feels personally attacked by this
🙋🏻♀️
There needs to be a new list including songs from Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, BMC, and Heather's and so much more.
this is actually my new favorite thing omigod
oops I've sung all of these at auditions before.
Yeah in the professional world the directors would shake their heads
Sara-Grace Kelly I've sang astonishing for a pageant and a solo performance lol it's like my go to wow song haha
Even in my first community theatre audition they told me "Don't sing that ("Close Every Door"). Tell me you have something else. Anything else."
"Spark of Creation...?"
"That's a girl's... never mind. That'll be fine."
Did you get cast?
I did, but not as the lead. A Christinafied version of Children Of Eden didn't play well for casting Jekyll and Hyde. That was also before I picked songs to suit the show... and my gender.
I riff too much and I like singing girl songs.
THE LITTLE PARTS WHERE SHE SAID THE WORDS ARE AMAZING LIKE I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DO THAT THIS IS AMAZING
the songs all connect so perfectly
That transition between Somewhere That's Green and The Wizard And I was fantastic and I appreciate it so much
Edit: “Fly, dove, sing, sparrow”
I SCREECHED
This is everything.
You know you're trash when you know every song in that last that she sang.... I WANNA SING THIS NOW
The Pathetic Coffee Addict I mean...we're theatre kids....
yeah I think we're SUPPOSED to know all of them
CAN I LIKE THIS MORE THAN ONCE PLEASE
I love how when she started singing Somewhere That's Green, this one man just said YES hahahah
omg the last transition. this woman deserves an applause
This is love, this is life.
SHE KILLED ALL OF THEM
Dude, I sang "On My Own" for my AMDA audition, and I still got in, AND I'm in my third semester, going into fourth!
I just wish I was enough of a leading lady to sing the other songs...
I'm quite surprised that they didn't do tomorrow from Annie but she did amazing regardless.
"I'll find my life"
Dude in the audience: Yes.
what a belt! And a very clever medley. Great job Melanie!
This is literally the most amazing thing I have ever seen oh my goodness
it's been a year and i'm still obsessed
The transition at 4:02 is so perfect
I've watched this video a million times, and the transition between "The Wizard and I" and "Astonishing" gets me every time
THIS IS SO TRUE LMAO I LOVE THIS SM! AMAZING
My new favourite person.
This girl is absolutely lovely and adorable!
That last part got me I legit was so into this video I SCREAMED: :YAAS QUEEN! GET IT!!" lmfao brilliantly done
Hilarious and spot on - the transitions are hilarious and amazing!
YES I’ve been looking for this video forever!
I love this so much. I'm so in love. This is incredible... Oh man just perfect!
This is awesome! What a joy!
Absolutely amazing!
This is sooooo good!!!
THIS IS AMAZING OMG
Her voice is UNREAL
AMAZING!
I looooooove it !
This is my favorite thing ever
She's amazing!
omg fabulous!!!
Wow she's amazing!!!!!!
The defying gravity to gimme gimme transition was SO AWESOME
This has been coming up on my recommendation list every few months for years and I’m v shocked it doesn’t have at least 1 mil views!
Amazing!
I love how that note from defying gravity always gets recognized lol
everything !
this is amazing
Honestly, I'll just come back to this video and jam out with her!
this was so good i’m screaming and crying please help me
Melanie is brilliant!
I wish I could find more with her singing. ...... this is Amazing ... it has been quite a number of years.. !!!
What a voice!!
AMAZING performance!
amazing!
I think that is amazing
Holy freaking cow!!! That was amaaaazing!!!
SO HILARIOUS SO TALENTED
No Somewhere Over the Rainbow??
AubreyLIW That's not on the "overdone" list...that's on the "borderline blasphemy" list.
Thats not even a musical theatre song...
Astral Cosmos Celestial the Third Technically it is. The Wizard Of Oz has been adapted into a stage musical.
Music In My Mind i dont see it as one though
Astral Cosmos Celestial the Third I’m just letting you it is one, whether you see it as one or not. Your original comment just flat out said it’s not a musical theatre song, I’m just letting you know it is. Especially considering Wizard of Oz’s songs are structured like the typical movie musical.
okay but “Somewhere That’s Green” to “The Wizard and I” is Top notch
I feel personally victimized. This is my daily car ride!😂😂😂
I'm shook. So good
Bravo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Speechless.
i still love this video and the guy's gasp when she started singing on my own is still everything
what a voice!!
this was fantastic!!!😂😂😂
If I hear one more person do somewhere that's green or popular or defying gravity I will cry
What a talent!!
HER. VOICE.
if grav3yardgirl did Broadway haha
I CANT WITH THE FIRST SONG. I LOVE THE LAST FIVE YEARS BUT I WASNT READY FOR THAT SONG. IM LITERALLY CRYING. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
GENIUS
Oml this is art
Obsessed
