Tonight I went to see the Junior MT Showcase "Lyrics That Last". I have to say, pretty underwhelming. I happen to have had a pretty memorable quartet showing just one year ago...with over 4,000 views on YouTube if you care to view it again.
ME AT LYRICS THAT LAST! 2010 Style
And yet, as I sat judging 30 something musical theater hopefuls, I was deeply inspired. Here were these not yet jaded or bitter young adults singing songs they loved. Sure, I wish they'd remembered a few more of the "lasting lyrics"...but during a drunken finals week, who can blame them?
If anything, I saw 20 something actors I'll never have to worry about competing with...and a few I pray can never make it through a dance call. Thanks for reviving my spirit for theater slightly younger ones. OH SORRY: theatre (the pretentious way).
Thanks for reading mom,
TJB: Making It
Um...about 2000 views, so yah...
