Ballet Dancer, OK! I am glad you aren't leaving I guess I missunderstood your message! But as for me I ♥L♥O♥V♥E♥ Broadway/Theatre acting much more than T.V. I think it takes more skills and talent. Plus your less likely to be "typecast" in theatre. ♥L♥O♥V♥E♥, BooButterfly P.S. YAY don't you just ♥L♥O♥V♥E♥ my new love thing!
BooButterfly- Remember a couple of weeks ago I told you about the show I was in and how I was freaking out about the no dress rehearsal thing? Well the show was last night and it went great! Thank you so so so much for giving me great advice! Your awesome!
BooButterfly No! Everyone is so nice to me here! You guys (girls, I mean) are the best!!!!! I couldn't disjoin if I tried! I'm just spending waay too much time on the computer. So, I'll probably be on like three times a week. I'll still be on, just not as much. I'm writing a story, and its kinda absorbing all my energy (like a giant vacuum)! I'll post it on Writers Club sometime. Do u like broadway or tv better?
Ballet Dancer, What do you mean by "I'll miss all my friends here, but I'm probably not going to be on again." Did any of us say somthing mean to make you not want to come back?
I like the idea of Broadway acting a tiny bit better than being on tv. If you mess up on tv, its there forever. If you mess up on stage people forget. My fave advice I have ever gotten is "Do what you love, and everything else just comes. It desn't matter if you're good or bad. You just have to love what you do. Also, if you're in a situation where you don't know what to do, smile." between us all, I'm love ballet, but I'm not very good. I just try. I'll miss all of my new friends here, but I'm probably not going to be on again. Break a leg!*
Ballet Dancer, ooh ballet is the BEST! I have only been taking for 7 years. But I have learned that it's not about how long you take it's about how talented you are . But wow taking since you were three is pretty cool . TTYL,BooButterfly
Ballet Dancer- That's awesome that you dance (and have been taking it for a long time!) Unfortunately, I have to left feet and can't even get a jazz square down. Ballet will get you very far in the theater world, because you can be a "Triple threat" as they say!
jigish101- OMG, I love not having the lead! I'm mean, sure, we all want to get the lead, but sometimes being the supporting character is better. In the script, they usually have so many details for the main character, there is no more room left for you to add quirks and mannerisms to them. But if you are the supporting characters, you can make them your own!
Parischic- Yeah, it would be cool to have an agent, but I still like just doing community theater and stuff with my school. I feel like I still have a lot of things to learn before "getting out there"
BooButterfly- Oh No! I hope you are feeling better! Something like that happened to me once. I was auditioning for a choir and in a play during the same weekend, and I got strep throat right before! It was terrible, because my voice was all scratchy and when I was onstage I had a fever and was burning up! The second the play was over I went home and fell slept for 4 hours! LOL! Don't worry, there will always be more opportunities!
My school play is over. Sigh... I had SO MUCH FUN!!! By the way, I've been taking ballet since I was 3. I also take tap and jazz, but ballet is my fave.
Tea_House_Moon, I am in the same boat with you all of my friends are either artsy or sporty! Except for last year I became bffs with this girl who loves drama too yay. Oh on a new subject last night were the auditions for community theatre. About two hours before the auditions I got soooo sick I could barely even talk!!! I was like how could this happen? Oh well I guess I will get over it.
you know how maves great grandmother was a flapper on broadway, well my great grandmother was one of the first rockesttes ever on broadway. at the backstage tour in new york i saaw pictures of her! thats why i like to act sing and ance so much in runs in my family !! ;
I love theater, but sometimes I have get a little stage frieght, but it doesnt bother me. When I am onstage i love the apllause and theater is just so fun. We havent had any school plays for a while, but every year there is a talent show. If i can, I go and audition every year! I always make a big part with my friends, so i am cool with theater. All in all, theater is really cool!
hermione23, well oc I dont think i did a great job, but thanx! my friend said i did really awesome cuz i was so casual about it, lol i was like well i wasnt nervous or anything at all, it was ez! LOL!
I love drama! Each year I'm always looking forward to being in the school play, because you get to be someone you usually aren't, and you need a lot of people you probably wouldn't just in the hallways.
BooButterfly- LOL, me too! I am so glad that I can talk to people like you guys who love theater too! Like, all my friends are either artist or really into sports. It's totally okay that they have their own thing, but I'm glad I can talk theater with someone (especially you nice people!) -Tea_House_Moon
Ballet Dancer, I will tottally be your friend And I am with you I have noooooo idea how you get an agent! ? haha but I want one Toodles,BooButterfly P.S. Do you take ballet?
Fabulousinpink, Ik, but my parents would never let me get an agent this young! When I said 10 years, I didn't mean exactly 10 years! I just meant when I'm older! I can't believe ur going to b on DC! That is so cool!!!
I'm in a "grease" production right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in the ensemble so I don't act bu I have picked up a good tip:Act as casually as you talk,because it looks a lot more normal that way! Hope this helped somebody
I'm new on this site, but I loove to act, so I signed up. Anyway, wish me luck! I have a dance recital at 4 today. I'm a little nervous (even though its my 9th one). Does anybody here want to be my friend?
BooButterfly- Who doesn't love the song matchmaker?! Lol, I can't believe that! Of course we can be friends! Aw, that's so adorable! I sometimes think that one of the best parts about being in a play is seeing the little kid's reactions! -Tea_House_Moon
Hey girls, I Looooove acting . I have already been in three different plays. They are for MFC which stands for Mad For Character. My Latest was this year. I got to be in almost every performence.

Tea_House_Moon, I'm glad I could help. And I also absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the song matchmaker!!! My friends and I were going to sing it in a talent show but they didn't like the song I was like . Can you believe that . ♥♥BooButterfly♥♥ P.S. Do you want to be friends? P.S.S. After our play on tuesday all these little kids came up to me and were like "Can we have your autograph?" I was laughing sooooo hard. Isn't that cute? LOL!
Hey Tea_House_Moon, You just have to remember that even if someone messes up the crowd is there to support you not make fun of you. Don't worry it will all come together Break a leg (But don't follow in my friend's brother's footsteps ) LOL Toodles, BooButterfly
Hey guys, I'm FREAKING out at the moment. I have this choir concert next week called "Pop show" at my school, and I am in like, EVERY ACT!!! My choir teacher doesn't think we need a dress rehersal, but I really think we need one. I mean, how are we going to know our cues or how much time we have to dress. Do you guys have any tips on how to keep it together and not freak out? I'm really nervous, because I think we all need a dress rehersal. Thank you all so much!!! -Tea_House_Moon
BooButterfly- Oh You're welcome! Oh no! Your poor brother. Lol, that would've been terrible if it was during a real show. But I think everyone has tripped off something in their lifetime (for me it was step in a choir concert- yikes!) Glad your performance went great!!! -Tea_House_Moon
OMG! I LOVE my cast of Fiddler on the roof! The boy playing my "lover" is my friend and I am doing well on the song Far from the home I love! YEAH! Has any1 else done fiddler on the roof?

i love the idea of the acting clud.i like to act at home at drama promgrams.how does'nt like drama.if you don't you don't like to watch tv .some of my acting secrets are if you get a main roll in the play take it.that is good if you wan't to be a actor like me.
does anyone know why they say break a leg? i do! a long time ago insted of clapping for people they would stomp their feet. people would tell the actors do break a leg. in other words they wanted them to do such a good job that the audiance would stomp so hard that they would break their leg. isn't that cool!
i waz in this wicked cool play called evita. it waz so much fun! i waz a school girl, a singer, a daughter, and a fan of eva and juan peron. i love my director! he waz so funny. GO EVITA!
Hey Tea_House_Moon, about the "Break a leg" thing my friends brother almost literaly BROKE HIS LEG! He tripped over a prop and fell OFF the stage luckily it was just in a rehersal. LOL Love, BooButterfly
Thanks Tea_House_Moon, I just finished the first performance and I'm going back to do the second!!!!!! It went suprisingly well Oh and thankyou for anyone who has supported me y'all rock Love, (a nervous) BooButterfly LOL!

Hm...that's a hard one! I love the part when she finally goes with Phantom to his lair and they sing "Phantom of the Opera" but I love the masquerade scene!!! So beautiful...the music makes me cry!
WaterDancer- I love Phantom too! The main actress in the movie was Emmy Rossum, and the original Christine on Broadway was Sarah Brightman. Hope I helped!
waterdancer yes christine is the main actress in teh play too. let me tell you, the play is MUUUCCHH better than teh movie of POTO! i saw the play and loved it and then i saw the movie and htought.... eh...
I love POTO, (Phantom of the Opera)! I've always wished I could be Christine!! I have a question tho, is Christine the main actress in the play? She is in the movie!

Hey bsggirls07, No problemo I'm happy I could help! Do you like acting or singing more? I know it's a random question LOL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Toodles,BooButterfly
My favorite role was definately now, in Alice in Wonderland, I'm the Cheshire Cat. It's my favorite role because I don't go asking for leads because I know that everyone wants them, and I usually get a small part and stick it out, unlike some other kids, who quit. But I know that there are only so many parts, and loads of talented people trying out. I was very lucky to get that opportunity, (though I have been in lots of plays before NYC training), because my director knows that I can handle it.
rentluver, i'm not in high school either, i just say "our" because its in the school district! and our middle school is doing les miserables next year! and this time when i say our i mean MY school!!! oh and by the way it IS heaven!!!!! xoxo shoopalulu
broadway spaz08 i have been the lead in over 50 plays i lik efilm acting better though i have been doing it since i was 6. i would really want to play meave i look and act just like ttyl
dancerqtpie24, Well openeing night is May 13 (AHHHHHHHH! HAHAHA) The version we are doing isn't a musical unfortunantly But it is still good! O O, BooButterfly P.S. get it (kiss like x) O HAHA
shopalulu, that sounds like heaven i am so jealous! omg i love phantom of the opera!! ugh i am soooo jealous! our high, im not in high school im in middle school, but they did les miserables and eveyrone said it was better than the broadway verison too!
BooButterfly, Thanks! I like your name too! What does it mean? Also the play i just finished was called Fairy Talevision. Good Luck with your show when is the opening night?
I live in a town where acting is EVERYWHERE!!! it's really close to manhatten so professional actors live here. there are tons of theaters and acting camps and school plays and workshops! it's awesome. especially for someone who loves acting as much as me. also, our highschool was one of the FIVE chosen in north america to perform phantom of the opera. and people say it was better then the broadway version!!!
Dear dancerqtpie24, Yah right now I am in a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Actually I am Willy Wonka! LOL! What was the play you just finished? Toodles, BooButterfly
Dear everyone, You are so lucky. I have no plays at my school. I am deprived. I want to play a lead character. Your friend, michellerocksout P.S.From what you know about me, what lead character do you think I should get in any play.
ROFL u know what a really fun way 2 improve ur acting skills is?!...
ROFL my bf and i just got off the phone, and u know how in the old romance movies they say like 'oh, my dear' and stuff, well we were doin that and crackin up it was hilarious! -i posted a conversation we had in the sleepover club if ur interested! ROFL its soooooooo funny!
boobutterfly, im so glad were friends. i have seen lots of your comment in Maeve's fan mail page. But maybe that's someone else. Also are you currently in any plays? I just finished one and in June I will start another. Also in July I will do another.
Has anyone ever done the shows ANNIE, Fiddler on the Roof, GREASE or Music Man? I have done ANNIE (as Rooster the 1st time Lily the 2nd time), GREASE as Sandy and Mrs. Paroo in Music Man. And I am in reshersel for Fiddler on the roof as Hodel. I have also done Sharpey in High School Musical, Ti Moune in Once on this island, The Baker's Wife in Into the Woods,Mrs. Paroo in Music Man, Cosette in Les Miz, Penny in Hairspray, Belle in Beauty and The Beast, Dorthey in Wizard of Oz, and a bunch of other things! -Broadway.Spazz.08
I like acting but I prefer singing. I do both everyday. I had a solo last year @ first baptist church of orlando. It was really scary. Advice 4 other people that get stage fright, take deep breaths, close ur eyes and just relax.
hermione23, lol sorry i didnt finish adding my comment and i accidently clicked the button! anyway, so i can get a bigger part in plays well i'll keep ya posted on how im comin, thanx!
hermione23, well theres 2 main characters, a boy and a girl-i have the girl main character lol well of course her names Betsy, lol and the other boys name is Sam but then theres the leader, which is her friend, and he's like a leader of a patriotic parade and we talk 2 him like through the whole thing so we kinda are all main characters-i've never really been a main character before, they usually always make me sing cuz i can pretty good, lol, so im really excited 2 show them i can act 2 so that when i get in the older class, which does really long plays and stuff, i'll hopefully get a big part
Thanks for the tip, it helped a lot. The play is over now, and I'm kind of sad, but it's ok. I'm just happy that I can do stuff on Saturdays now (rehearsal was on Saturday for me before). Thanks again!
wizkid52, Thats cool that your the costume designer!! Well I am Willy Wonka (even though I'm a girl) in a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!! Our school's drama department is awesome in fact we went to a HIGHSCHOOL to see a play and our JR. HIGH is like 1978243876461829437 times better! LOL!
OMG! it's the last wk. of rehersals for Alice in Wonderland, I'm sooo pcyched! I'm the Cheshire Cat, who serves like a narrator/character in the show, but I'm also the costume designer for the show, so I'm going to freak out this week, with all of the commotion. Next year, my director is doing HSM 2, and possibly Willy Wonka. How cool is that?
Okay, if you've ever been in a show, click the heart, and address your comment to me, telling me which part you've been in what show.
Hi Maeve, WeLL, I get a little nervous,but I just breath easily and remind myself that I'm doing something that I really love.I'm hoping to get into some drama this summer besides making home movies.Pray for me that God will use me in future films. See you in Hollywood, Maeve.
BooButterfly, Sure! I would love to be friends! Sorry for getting back so late I forgot I had written a comment in this club. But you can also talk to me in the Advice Club where i post lots of comments!
angel_1295, yeah... Do you know the Steven Curtis Chapman song "Cinderella"? It is so amazing! And about the play, just practice, practice, practice! Get a friend or family member to help you as much as possible! In your spare time, read over the script over, and over, and over again! You should read the whole story so that you know when to come in, and pay attention to other peoples lines, because you must know your cues to come in! And it's not only about the dialougue! You have to know your blocking too! You have to know where to move at the right times! And remember, if anyone tells you to be yourself, ignore them! The whole point is to be somone else!
Hey bsggirls07, I have advice on how to help butterflies. Ok it will sound weird but for me if you breathe in through your mouth and out through your nose it helps calm you down. Good luck with the play!
hermione23 and Miss Drama Queen, thanx 4 the advice! a ton, lol! hermione23, um lol im not sure i'll check and get back with you on that-i know its patriotic, lol! Miss Drama Queen, well, good luck! i know you'll do good!
dear angel_1295, just take it a few lines at a time. Memorize 5 lines, then repeat. Then memorize the next 5, and repeat all 10, etc. etc. btw, what is the play ur in called? ~hermione23 p.s. good luck! u can do it!
here are all the shows i hav done so strap on you seatbelts theres a lot!!!

Got a play coming up this week, and I'm pretty nervous. I don't have any lines, but I'm nervous, anyway. The play is about the 80s (fun, even though I wasn't born in the 80s ) and some of the dances are really hard. Any tips on how to remember dances, and how to not be nervous? Please reply ASAP, cuz the play is comin up! Thanks!
~bsggirls07 (the younger bsggirl )
P.S. I know that I posted this before, but no one replied . Please reply, cause I need my BSG fan support and help!
dramaqueen333, aaaaaa COOL!!!!! lol i can barely go high, but i can go pretty low-im 12 and my mom sings an octave below me when my family sings, but i can sing her part (an octave lower than i normally sing!!!!) without 2 much trouble!!! lol its so fun 2 sing! my bf loves it when i sing lol so once i had 2 sing for a school play and some people taped it and put it on the internet-well, he goes 2 that site a lot 2 listen 2 it, LOL i think its sooo funny
ok, um i have one of the 2 lead roles in a musical and we are doing it in LESS THAN 2 WEEKS and we start practice MONDAY!!!!! our play is a week from friday-i dont have a LOT of lines to memorize, but like 20-some. how do i memorize them really fast? cuz we aint allowed 2 use scripts the last week of practice, and i dont even have the script yet-i wont have it till monday!!!! so i'll have monday-friday 2 memorize my lines, then i have 2 say them by heart!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!
OMG angel_1295! I am an alto too! I hate singing high! I am terrible at high, but pretty good at low! And that is onereason that I like that song too! But it's harder to sing the bridge!
Altos rock man! (Even though I have been second Soprano before)
Kaija1997- I know what you mean. It just depends on who you are working with (like the director.) Many of times I've been in a play where they have been biased and it was SO ANNOYING!!!
I USED to be into drama but now i don't like it because in my drama club they always pick the same people 4 tnhe roles! i just think it is a waste of time and energy. but that's my opinion not urs so go ahead cuz plays can be kinda fun!
Wow there are a LOT of altos! I my self am a soprano like MAJOR soprano I wish I could sing lower! But what's cool is I can sing anything of Jule Andrew's. Are there any other sopranos here? Toodles,BooButterfly

Angel_1295- Yay for altos!!!! Hmm...some songs for altos...in my opinion, lots of oldies hits (like from the 60's) are GREAT for altos. They can show off your voice without leaving you grasping for air. Also, if you really want to sing a song and it is just a tad bit out of range, ask someone (like a choir director) to see if they can lower the range. That helps A LOT!!!
who all's an alto? i am! i really like singing 'when there was me and you' (from HSM) because the range is like perfect for me-it gets a little high on the bridge, but i can get it ok. what songs do you alto's sing????
My class is putting on a play based on a creepy radio play called sorry wrong number and I got the lead!!!!!!!! I'm a bedridden invalid who ovrhears a murder plot, trys to get peoplle involved(no success) and at the end, I'm the one who's murdered by goons that my husband hired!
Broadway.Spazz.08- Totally with you on that one. G(a)linda has that nasal tone (plus she has to sing lots of high operetic notes-yikes!) I can sing MOST of Elphaba's songs. "I'm Not That Girl" is like, "The Audition Song" for me. I love that song just because it can show off vocals without blowing the judges out of their seats or making them go to sleep But when it comes to "No Good Deed"...yeah, I've broken a couple of vases! That's really cool that you got to play Elphie in a workshop!
Dear misssmartchick, OMG! Good luck! My school put on the play "Guys and Dolls" last year and my friend was Sister Sarah Brown! This year we're lending the costumes to another school near us! I hope it went/goes well! Write back and tell me! ♥hermione23♥
Tea_House_Moon- I could NEVERplay G(a)linda. She has a high singing voice, and she is short and small. I'm on the tall side..But Elphaba, I could do! I sing all the Elphaba songs in my voice lessons and I have played in Elphaba in a acting workshop! Broadway.Spazz.08
Broadway.Spazz.08- I know! I wouldn't really mind being Glinda either, just because she gets some of the comic relief (Popular, The whole Dancing Through Life scene with Fiyero) but Elphaba...is cooler (and gets to sing Defying Gravity and As Long As your Mine!!!)
Ugh, My weirdest role was I had to sing a song from Seussical called "Alone in the Universe" and I was JoJo (Aka a GUY!!!) I actually had to say the line, "I'm JoJo, the mayor's son." Lol, I was mortified!!! Oh, and when I was little I was in the Wizard of Oz and I was casted as Boq the munchkin! If any of you all have seen the musical Wicked, Boq is supposed to be a boy!!! I look back on that now and laugh though. OH! I had to play the Earthworm in James and the Giant Peach and my costume was made out of this weird material and I had no arms!!!
I love theater!!! My favorite shows to be in are things called Broadway Revues, where we all sing a variety of songs from...Broadway!!! I am at the theater magnet at my school, and I love doing improv! It's so much fun to see what you can think about at the top of your head! I would say for acting tips to always stay confident in yourself, but don't turn into an primadonna (aka thinking that you are the best and that you will always be the star). Also to never EVER be rude to the director. There was this one girl I knew that hated the role she got and she went to the director and whined that she didn't cast her in the right role. Let's just say she didn't get casted again. My dream role is to be either Christine in the Phantom of the Opera (even though I am an alto-yikes!) or Elphaba in Wicked. Toodles all my thespian buddies! See ya on B'way
Theuffansplusbsg- Thanks! I played Ti Moune in Once on This Island. I was really just hoping to make the show, as a story teller. But I got the role of Ti Moune, and when I did, I started crying. I have been acting since I was 4 so I want to be on Broadway so day!
Boobutterfly- I played the role of Rooster in the Musical ANNIE, and the girl who played Lily was 6 years older then me! ECK! So that was the weirdest role I have played!
Egirl226- I LOVE acting. I have done WAY more musicals and play though then I put. I also do dance (Swing, Jazz, Pre Pionte, Tap, Ballroom, acro and gymnatics) and voice lessons. And I am learning how to do film acting, though its not as fun as stage acting. If they EVER do a BSG movieI would LOOOOVE to be Charlotte. I look like her and my friend is always saying I could play her. My friend also said I should play Claire in The Clique movie, so she wants me to big movies..
BooButterfly! Mine is when I had to play a boy in a play called Fruitcakes! I had to play Charlotte the spider too! Except it wasn't a real play, it was just for fun!
Hey guys!! This is a funny question. What is the weirdest (or most random) role you have ever played? Mine has to be either Charlotte (a spider)in Charlottes Web or Willy Wonka (a guy!!) in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! LOL!! What is yours?
OMG, I've been in so many shows! Right now, I'm the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland, and have been Jane in Jane and the Beanstalk, Fluff Duckling in HONK!, and I was in High School Musical last year. I've also done some acting classes in NYC. If the BSG ever decide to make a movie, they should definatly hold open auditions. CLICK THE HEART IF YOU AGREE!

I love to act! I have been in plays ever since I could talk. All my life, whether in church, school, or my local college, I have had a major role in each play I perform. I just love the rush of being in front of the crowd, becoming one totally different person each time. The spotlight is my best friend! I don't care to be me. I am a leader!

What roles have you guys played in musicals and plays. I have been Sharpey in High School Musical, Ti Moune in Once on this island, The Baker's Wife in Into the Woods, Pepper in Annie, Lily in Annie, Mrs. Paroo in Music Man, Sandy in Grease, Cosette in Les Miz, Penny in Hairspray and I am starting reshersels for Fiddler on The Roof where I am Hodel!

Being a good actress doesn't mean getting the lead role. Even if you don't, you have to act like the lead. It shows that you really care about acting, so you might get a better role in your next play. Plus, it's good experience!
Dear broadway.spazz.08 i know a song its called tear drops on my guitar im also an alto and sang for an audition i was in the sound of music it ended sunday april6 and this wednesday april 16 im doing grease but theres only 1show for the som there wer 6. okay well bye!
Hey Everyone! I love acting so much! I have only been in two plays and I have only been a lead role once. But,I can only do one play a year! My parents said so. And they will not tell me why! How can I get them to let me do more plays??? Help!!!!!!!!!!
I am still getting my big break, though alot of people think i would already have it by now. I do mainly local stuff, and have been acting since I was 4. i have done Annie as Pepper, and another time as Lily. I have done Once on this island, Cinderella, Beauty and Beast, HSM. Does anyone have a good audtion song for a 12-13 girl who is a alto? i have a big audtion coming up and i updating my resume and trying to memorize 3 monologes right now for just ONE audtion, so i need help finding a song. It needs to be from a MUSICAL! Thax! Broadway.Spazz.08
Boo Butterfly, just practice, practice, practice! Practice makes prefect you know. lol I am so excited for you! You will do great! Just be you, and the will love it! Be confident! Good Luck!
heres a tip, u get distracted and worried if u think about people u know being in ur audition room. don't think about friends or family. jiust pretend u r alone singing to ur mirror or something. forget about the people. just be u!
the comment above? VOTE!
. But wow taking since you were three is pretty cool 
When I said 10 years, I didn't mean exactly 10 years! I just meant when I'm older! I can't believe ur going to b on DC! That is so cool!!! 
But it is still good!
