Post Re: The 'Just Got Cast' Thread
Was just cast as Henrik in "A Little Night Music". Excited and scared. Mainly because I'm not a tenor. I have an Ab, but it's the two B's that I'm worried about.

I do find it funny that someone recommended I be Henrik in the 5 roles for above person thread, though. :lol:

Was asked to play Mabel in Pirates of Penzance. I didn't think I'd be considered (see RF thread). I'm very flattered but very nervous. Anyone who knows the show really well or been in it before- what is the best recording to listen to?

Most opera company recordings would be a decent choice, I know the Simon Gallaher one (More modern in orchestration/broadway in style) has all of the songs on youtube and their Mabel was pretty good. I will say however: Stay away from the movie! Linda is relatively despised by the opera community for her performance.

Just my opinion- for the most part- But it's a start. Congrats! I hope it goes well!

MattZ2007-Way to go! That show rarely gets done, so you're very lucky. I'm sure you'll do fine with the B's; it's not that far off from an Ab.

ActingDude17- Congrats on a great show, but Brett is one of the worst male roles in the show. Are you disapointed?

except..Linda Ronstadt's performance of the role is ecellent. the joe papp cast recording which she features alongside George Rose, Kevin Kline,etc..is excelent. are you doing that version or a non roylty versio of the d'oyly carte scored show?

I can understand it. I think that her performance in the stage version was good, but there was something about the film that rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it's that her performance was meant more for stage than film, or something of the same nature.
