<p>kjgc, Thanks for taking the time to write such a comprehensive reply! I guess I was confused because I thought auditioners were looking for just strong song interpretation, not necesarily performing as the character within the context of the play. Thanks for clearing that up!</p>
<p>Just another quick question if you don’t mind- I’ve read (and a couple people have mentioned on this board) that it’s a bad idea to do Sondheim because it’s inconsiderate and risky to put the accompanists on the spot with such complicated music. If I am submitting a video audition with an accompanist who is practiced on the piece is it okay to do a Sondheim song, or are their other reasons why it is taboo?</p>
