Being Alive- For auditions?

<p>In general, for college auditions, NO Sondheim…EVER!</p>

<p>The advice given above with respect to song as a monologue is sound. The character singing the song is a 35 year old man, and you clearly are not. Save this particular number for a cabaret or coffeehouse performance. It is not recommended for college entrance auditions.</p>

<p>When you ask a question on these forums, most of the responders are providing their knowledge and insight as either professionals, educators, or parents/students having spent numerous months going through what you are experiencing now (and survived). We are all here to help you. </p>

<p>I hope you will heed this advice, and choose your material wisely. You may want to check out the forums containing the DO NOT DO Lists for college auditions.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
