I have had my fair share of public performances (the usual singing for friends and family, some recitals here and there) and almost every single time, my repertoire relied on dramatic and emotional pieces. It’s not that I enjoy crying or getting hurt and/or angry in front of people. Rather, I just find it easier […]
The post Top 10 Songs to Humor the Drama Queen appeared first on The NewMusicalTheatre.com Green Room.
Since my first post for the Green Room was all about duets for the ladies, it only seemed fair to flip the coin this week and round up the best-of-the-best male duets. What makes this collection of songs unique is the wide dramatic range it covers. Some songs are heartwarming, some heartbreaking, and others fantastically […]

If you’re female and a singer, chances are you probably have approximately 100 other female friends in the exact same boat. Musical theatre, am I right? In the spirit of this, I decided to dig through the NMT archives and present you with some of my favorite duets featuring female singers. These songs are about […]

Musical theater is full of great love stories. It’s a great genre for that because with big feelings come big voices and epic high notes. But big feelings aren’t exclusively reserved for soulmates, right? Or, to put it another way, there’s more than one kind of love. These songs are for everyone who wants to […]

Go to your local music store (or to Amazon.com and light a mournful candle for Colony Records as a silent tear rolls down your cheek) and check out the sheet music section. Overwhelming, right? So many options, and no idea where to begin! Lucky for you, you can find there the musical theatre anthology books, […]

Here is a fact about me: back when I was making my first forays into pop music, I would not download a song on iTunes unless I googled its lyrics first. (Yeah, my music library was cast-albums-only for a looooong time.) Although now many aspects of a song contribute to whether or not I want […]

The post NMT on NMT: #NMTWriters Pick Audition Songs appeared first on The NewMusicalTheatre.com Green Room.
I’m certainly not suggesting you have to look like Ulla Inga tor Hansen Benson Yansen Tallen Hallen Svaden Swanson (Bloom) to sing any of these songs, though surely that’d be swell. But let’s face it: there’s a sad dearth of satisfyingly rounded female roles out there as it is, and few of them get to […]

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a love song. But after one too many vocal coachings, concert plannings, and/or friends in need of new book options that ended up with an endless parade of one sad long break-up song after another, I decided to make an active effort to seek out some more varied […]
