Hi Folks.

A big local company are putting on Titanic next year and the auditons are in July. Just wondering if there are any Tenor roles - the higher the better really.

I have a pretty solid top C - and can also go fairly low.

Hope you can help me!

Barrett is a tenor. he sings 'Barrett's Song' and 'the duet "The night Was Alive" in addition to some strong solo work in "We'll meet tommorow".

Etches is also a tenor..a good comic role too. he sings "Remarkable Age. and has a few other solo moments.

[Salome]

not a complete or accurate list. Farryl is more supporting than cameo. and Edgar Beane is as much a lead as Alice Beane. plus it leaves out alot of roles..Astor,Mrs. Astor.Guggenhiem etc..etc...

[Joe Valjean]

Thanks alot for the reply - no REAL tenors though which is a shame, everything is in Baritone range...

Wonder if there is any scope to add some high notes, ha!

[Salome]

why would you want ot add notes that werent ewritten? the point of doing a role is to act the hell out of it.

[Joe Valjean]

Spoken like a true actor!

The point is too sing as high as possible!!!

[Joe Valjean]

And also because i can!

[Salome]

[Joe Valjean]

This is where we differ then!!!

I take a role mainly on the music and the range and if it will test me - but thats probably why i'm going to go into Opera rather than musical theatre!

[Salome]

best place for you..Opera doesnt care if the shows are ruined by bad acting..musical theatre is about acting first and foremost.

[Joe Valjean]

So True!!!

I'm not, nor will i ever be any kind of great actor - but i do enjoy musical theatre and taking part in shows - mainly because of the singing!
