The musical I want to be in someday

celticdragonflyI'm listening to music from Chicago (the original musical - I loved the movie, but I don't have that soundtrack yet. I do have the DVD.) I do love that musical. Heck, I was singing "Nowadays" at one point during the thanksgiving dinner get-together last Saturday. [1]
I would so love to be in it someday. I would love to find some local community theater doing it. Okay, it occurs to me that Fort Worth, TX is not the best place to look for it. Oh well. But if I did find out about it, I would so go try out.
Okay, I'm not in the physical shape they're going to want for the main stars. And I have to get in a lot better post-surgery shape for serious dancing. (But I will, I will...) I'm not worried, though. Because the part I want to do so bad I can taste is is Matron Mama Morton. That, that part I have the body for. And I think I've got the voice for it, too. Oh, I want that part someday!
Although yeah, it'd be fun to do Velma, too. She gets good songs. And damn but I do love The Cell-Block Tango.
[1] Yes, I am the kind of person who will just spontaneously break into song now and then with the right cues. You think I'm bad, you should see the rest of my family.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
phoenixsinger does it more, and bkseiver will sit down and start playing 'em for you. When a friend of mine recently commented that to her music was something you only did in formal groups, I stopped dead and STARED at her.[2]
[2] Well, not exactly. She's in another state. I stopped and stared at the IM window. But you know what I mean.

Date: 2005-11-16 09:04 pm (UTC)I don't play anything well enough for more than playing around with. And I can't sing a note on request - like if you say sing an E above C. But if you sing it at me, I can sing it back.
I sing with Maggie all the time. And now she's started singing to Jamie when they've been put down to bed together at night. But I don't think of myself as a singer. Not good enough, and not enough repertoire.
I am debating giving up on choir for now - sitting for an hour and a half is still pretty agonizing. Dither.
