This forum has not been posted in since October.

It was kind of bumming me out.

Question for possible group discussion:

1. If OCAG did a musical revue next, what song would you want to sing as a solo and why?
2. What song would you want to sing as a small group (duet, trio, quartet, quintet) and who would you want to sing it with? Why?
3. What five songs would you most want the entire group to sing?

OR...

4. If OCAG did a full-length musical next, what musical would you choose? Who would you cast in what parts?

Discuss!

if we did a full length musical
randi said something about THE MUSIC MAN or GUYS AND DOLLS
i thought it would be cool and do LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS but as i was told there is a little language problem there but nothing we couldnt fix
but i havent seen any of those but my brother desparately wants us to do THE SOUND OF MUSIC cause thats his favorite

but i thought what would be kinda cool for musical revue
is if we did a show called LULLABY OF BROADWAY 2
and we could we feature alot of solos and duets and group songs from alot of musicals and we can audition for each character part for each of the musicals but thats my opinion for a revue

1. If OCAG did a musical revue next, what song would you want to sing as a solo and why?
Not that I get to sing, but I think I would like to sing "Own My Own" from <i>Les Miserables</i>. Of course, it would take a lot of work (Marissa, do you take adult private students?)
2. What song would you want to sing as a small group (duet, trio, quartet, quintet) and who would you want to sing it with? Why?
I think I'll pick "I Know Him So Well" from <i>Chess</i> and pick Marissa to sing it with me. That song is really something else. I wanted to pick "Nobody's Side" from the same musical but I cannot decide what guy I would choose since...well, let's just stop there, shall we? Of course, I could pick "The Book Report" from <i>You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown</i>, but then both Marissa and Krislyn would claw my eyes out because I would want to be Lucy, and I'm not up for that kind of confrontation today. I'd also like to see someone in the group sing "Try to Remember" or "Soon it's Gonna Rain" from <i>The Fantastiks</i>.
3. What five songs would you most want the entire group to sing?
This question is hard. What idiot dreamed these up? Uh, I like "We Go Together" from <i>Grease</i>, "Corner of the Sky" from <i>Pippin</i>, "Ease on Down the Road" from </i>The Wiz</I>, "Aquarius" from <i>Hair</i>, "America" from <i>West Side Story</I>.
4. If OCAG did a full-length musical next, what musical would you choose? Who would you cast in what parts?
Maybe </i>Gypsy</i>. Could we do a show about a stripper? Maybe. Who would I cast? I don't know. I don't know that I really want us to do <i>Gypsy</i>, just all of the music from it! <i>Grease</i> would be great, too, if we could clean it up a bit. Or maybe we should go crazy and do <i>Seussical</i>. Might be fun!

I think Marissa told me that <i>Little Shop of Horrors</i> only has one set.

Sounds GREAT to me!

yeah me too Kevin can be seymour I kinda agree with marissa about singing as the plant that would fun and cool i was kinda wanted to do a show that can take place in modern times

But are there really enough parts for everyone? I thought that sort of had a minimal cast...

thats what randi said theres only one good girl part but the rest i dont know

yes and
1 TOLD YA SO!!!!!!
and
2. the girls outtnumber us 100 to 3

GAH Regina how long untill I get to the next level with the stars ????? am I even close???

hey randi you still havent listed what song or play you wanna do yet

ummmmmmmmmmm ill run out of room and i kinda dont want to right now

mia and me thought that we should do like 50s rockandroll have us all pick our favorite singers
of course knowing me im wanting to do a elvis impersonation thats something i would like to do but thats just me a big elvis fan

the only elvis i know is "blue suede shoes".
