Grease audition - 2008/04/30 20:50 Hi everyone!

I'm going to be auditioning for Grease at my local community theatre in a couple weeks. I'd love the part of Rizzo, but would still be pleased with Marty, Frenchie, Sandy or Jan.

I'm thinking about using "Dance 10 Looks 3" from A Chorus Line for my audition song. Also, we've been asked to prepare a 1 minute monologue. For that I'm thinking about doing Velma's little speech in the song, "Cell Block Tango", from Chicago.

What do you think? Are those good choices? If you don't think so, any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks! music myspace:

Re:Grease audition - 2008/04/30 21:52 I think that the monologe is a good choice, but I think that you need to pick a different song because that song misses the kind of characters in Grease, and too jazzy a style. You should chose a song with some aditude for Rizzo or some 50s style song. The song for Sandy or Rizzo should be a ballad, to show the emotion they have to have. dream roles: Belle-Beauty and the Beast, Christine-Phantom of the Opera, Elaine-Wonderful Town, Mazie-Seussical, Galinda the Good Witch-Wicked,...

Re:Grease audition - 2008/05/01 05:17 I would suggest a song from Jersey Boys, it's the right era. Chorus Line is a bit too 80's. Velma's monologue is fine.

Re:Grease audition - 2008/05/01 18:49 I'm kind of unfamiliar with the musical and Frankie Valli songs, so I don't think that would be a good choice for me right now. But thanks for the input! music myspace:

Re:Grease audition - 2008/05/01 19:12 I'm currently in Grease right now as Frenchy. I auditioned for Rizzo and I'm still a little bitter about it because my audition was PERFECT and I still to this day don't understand why she cast some 13 year old instead of me. I put so much thought into my audition and decided that "You Don't Own Me" by Leslie Gore was the most perfect audition song for the character even if it wasn't from a musical. --Ashley--

Re:Grease audition - 2008/05/01 19:21 That sounds like a good song choice. I'll consider it thanks! As for your production, congrats on getting Frenchy! That seems like a really fun part to play. I'd love to be Rizzo but I'd be happy with Frenchy too. I understand how you feel though. I know I'd probably be a little bitter if a 13 year old got cast as Rizzo instead of me! haha. music myspace:
