<p>Well I had been planning to do a monologue for my unified auditions from the musical A.. my name is still alice, the sequel to a my name is alice.. but I then saw that carnegie mellon has the original one on their do not use list.. even though I'm using the sequel version, should I rethink my choice? Or maybe just for carnegie mellon? Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Sorry, I know these questions are annoying, but I would really appreciate if someone would give me some feedback, I'd hate to not be considered for a bad choice for a monologue! Or do you think it would be helpful to call CMU and ask? Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I would think it's wise to avoid a monologue on any college list you see at all your auditions. It usually means it's overdone, and therefore not welcome. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>Yes, I completely agree with you! But its technically not the play but the sequel, so I was just wondering if I could get away with it? I'd hate to have to learn another monologue the week before, I already have it all prepared!</p>

<p>I think you'll be fine doing the sequel. They just don't want to hear the "jock strap" monologue. Better to do what you've worked on. Just remember to breathe!</p>

<p>is it the bridal registry one?</p>

7

<p>Yes it is? I had not realized it was overdone, should I avoid it?</p>

8

<p>I dont think it is, I'm doing it too. But I have 3 others to fall back on if I find out there's someone else doing it</p>

9

<p>Hm.. well I was planning on using it at the Chicago Unifieds.. But I may rethink that now!</p>

10

<p>If it helps I haven't met any one else using it.</p>

<p>That does help, and I really do like this monologue. I really wanted to use it for Carnegie to because I thought it was a nice contrast to my classical piece.. but the sequel of something off the do not use list seems a little risky :/. Maybe I'll just use it for my other schools though.</p>

<p>Carnegie has a do not do list?!</p>

<p>Its a very short one comprised of only monologues, but they do have one! I didn't realize it either, I'm glad I checked!</p>
