<p>I'm glad to hear that your D is enjoying working on the show. I hope she gets to know Pam Myers. She's a fabulous performer and a truly nice lady.</p>
<p>I was very pleased that, at the end of the PBS telecast of "Company" a couple of weeks ago, Stephen Sondheim spoke about his experience watching Pam audition and working with her in the original production. He had many nice things to say about her.</p>
<p>Role of a lifetime isn't in the 'version' they are doing? Are you kidding? Thats the best song in the show... and its kind of an important song and ties together a lot of themes.... do you know why they aren't doing it?</p>
<p>I have no idea why they aren't doing it, but it is not in the vocal score or on the CD and they are using a fully licensed production. So it wasn't a directors choice or something. I was surprised when I couldn't find it and although I am old and thought the first time I was being just dumb, I have now heard it enough times to know it isn't there.</p>
<p>thats really sad, its the best song in the show imo.</p>
<p>Actually I guess I am dumb because it is there. I don't know how I missed it.</p>
<p>just wondering what role your D was cast as....love the show!</p>
<p>Momfirst- thanks for asking. She is Kyra, but vocally singing sort of a hodge-podges, but typically the highest part.</p>
<p>Hey keepingcalm, congratulations to your D. 
Just wondering - what did she end up singing for her audition?</p>
<p>greenglasslove- it was a while ago and my old brian has troubles. I know for the 16 bars she did Take Me or Leave Me from Rent, but for the 12 bars contrasting I have trouble remembering. I know it was from a sporano, very traditional MT song. I know it wasn’t Glaucomora but something similar- we figured it would cover the “choirish” parts of the show. Sorry I am so foggy, but DD has pretty much given up singing and focused on dance.</p>
