The play...

Take the role of Tony...it's a lead and it's a good role. I auditioned for this show at a local community theatre about a year and a half ago. I did not get a role, but I did go back and see the show. It was fabulous. I did see the movie as well, didn't care for it as much as the play.

I'm looking for a good monologue for grandpa or tony kirby for auditions for this play. I've looked all over, but I still haven't found one that I really like for those roles, could someone tell me what they did as monologues for these characters? If not, its cool, I realize some actors are very touchy with throwing around "their" monologues. Thanks guys

I love the play and think some of the most funny parts were cut out in the movie. I played the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina who is only mentioned in the movie. The really weird thing was our Boris Kolehnkov (sp) broke his leg playing soccer about a week into rehearsals. He was on crutches for a while but didn't actually do the show with them but we did mention his limp or something. I found out later that Mr. Barrymore's injury was also written into his role! Coincidence, no? Anyway we did this character exercise about a week before opening night where we went out to dinner in public completely in character (though not in costume) and continued to do so throughout the entire meal. It was really helpful and hysterically funny! I recommend it if you can pull it off. Being in public like that was such a rush. We even played the same "game" from the second act although not following the script of course.

Break a leg to all you budding actors!

I am also doing the play, I Play Paul Sycamore!! I am looking forward to it, and I hope the show is a success
