| That means, I believe, NOT that that is the only MT audition date, but that they are not auditioning any other majors on that particular date. |

| mtfan, I saw Hannah in Fiddler this week! It's a wonderful show and I enjoyed this production tremendously. She must be very excited to be involved. 
Coach, I wouldn't be surprised if A&F wrote that song specifically for Audra. I can't actually remember if it was in the workshop or not but the role of Sarah was played by LaChanze in the workshop so perhaps not. Audra came into the project for the actual pre-NYC production in Toronto (which then moved on to L.A.). She was one of the many joys of that show! Audra had been out of Juilliard for about three years by that time, though, and had already won two Tonys before winning her third for Ragtime. It's one of my favorites and I hope that it's revived on Broadway someday. I was always a little sad that the show, which is probably one of the most quintessentially American musicals was so much more popular and successful in Canada, and had it not been for Canadians, it's likely that none of us would ever have had the pleasure of seeing it. | |

| mtfan --
do you know if you can attend the masterclass without auditioning the next day. In other words, if you are a junior, and want to visit the school, could you make the masterclass part of the visit? | |

| Call the conservatory of music, and they will be most helpful with planning your visit and answering your question. I must say that BW does a great job making visiting students and parents feel welcome. I've now been treated to 2 great lunches there, including the very nice lunch for parents on audition day.
The master class is on audition day, not the day before. It was very crowded with all the current students and all the auditioning students. Some of us parents snuck in toward the end and stood at the back. I have no idea if they allow other visitors at that time due to space limitations, but you could certainly ask. | |

| Call the conservatory, I'm not sure if you could attend or not. Ericsmom is right, the last masterclass was very crowded. It never hurts to ask though. | |

| Right. I will definitely do that. I do not see that date listed on their list of masterclasses generally open to juniors and seniors, so it may be limited. But I will certainly call. Thanks | |

| I am respecting my son's wishes not to discuss auditions and results for awhile.
In general, I can tell you that BW runs a great audition day. We were most impressed. They did a great job with their show that night, also.
Please send me an e-mail if you have specific questions on their audition. | |

| "I am respecting my son's wishes not to discuss auditions and results for awhile."
That is understandable and I respect that, that is why I put
"...that anyone is comfortable sharing"
I am more interested in a variety of general impressions of BW, from a variety of people; what people liked most, what theywere surprised about, what is different from other schools, what type of MT students people encountered. Things that can't be gleened from a website or pretty brochure. Things that will perhaps help whittle down the list of schools that a student is considering in the coming years.
On most of these threads about specific schools I would like to see more from current students as they are living the reality of the programs; however, I realize that most of them are swamped with school work and productions [or I imagine they are]. | |
