<p>I really do appreciate your input, but I’m still having trouble seeing why this is such a big deal. I am primarily an Actor who sings, and understand that this is what these programs are looking for. From what I understand these programs are seeking people who can tell the story of the song they are performing. I’m a huge fan of the musical Company, and I understand that I will obviously never play Bobby. (and yes, I know the context of the show- I would never ever audition with a song I was not deeply familiar with the context of) I just think that the story of the song tells of a person who is for the first time opening up to being in a real relationship with another human being can be told by anyone who understands those feelings, regardless of gender.</p>
