Well no worries–I have appreciated every contribution to this thread. originally my D was going to apply to some music theatre programs too, but we found it it just was too much pressure for her to try and work up musical theatre repertoire as well as classical repertoire and prepare good quality prescreens. Her acting is great, her dancing is fine–she is definitely better than average and memorizes dance routines quickly. The sticking point was always doing the newer musical theatre selection, because she has no training in “belting.” The closest she can come to more modern repertoire is something like Sondheim (e.g. on the steps of the palace.) She does the “talky” singing very well. She may be capable of belting, but I don’t know if she’ll ever get the opportunity to get the training she needs.
