randolph

our high school doing the show. im only a freshman so I thought Randolph would be a good part. I know hes a cameo but any solos or any lines? I pretty young looking for a freshman so any feed back on the part would be great. thanks

Randolp isn't a cameo role. He's involved throughout the show. He has a few lines, but if you play him up as a younger brother, he can steal the scenes he's in. He does have a solo in the "Kids" reprise.

i played randolph last year (i was a freshman too)... it was soo much fun. he's a great character and is very funny. he has a decent amount of lines and as stated by broadwaybud he has kids reprise... here... watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACTR36HGbLM its a bad vid that my mom took on a digital camera... its kids reprise. i think u can tell who i am (the "little" kid in the foot pjs). ENJOY!

audition in 5 weeks and im totally deticated to getting the part(or any part) but a lot of times the director pulls up a middle school kid. is randolph likely to be played by a younger kid?

If he's any good, yes.

update: at the meeting they said they weren't sure how old they were going to go for. Do I need to sing in falseto(I can sing to about a F in my full voice)??

Don't try to push the falcetto. I played Randolph a year ago, I was in 8th grade, and I learned there was really alot you could do with this character. I played him as the "good kid" of the family, but at the same time looking up to the adults so much to where it became mocking them. That's pretty much impossible not to do if you sing the Kids Reprise well. Good luck!

I auditned Monday for singing. I did ok. Today I did dancing. They were cracking up. But it was in a good way. I find out Monday. I'm really hopeing to do randolph in falseto but I think if I make it it will be teen chorus. I'll be happy with anything
musialman

i got teen chorus. only freshman in the show. randolph went to a middele school kid. I am really happy.
