i could literally watch the conductor and not once look up at the stage if i was given the chance – there's just something so beautiful about conducting and hearing the orchestra follow along that i can't explain whatsoever
I love this series as I am going to be a musical theater designer (costume, prop, set, hair/makeup, lightning, sound) when I grow up and this really prepares me for the future jobs in theater as well as talks into what goes on behind the scenes.
This is my absolute dream job
Interesting to see what goes on into the pit, when you figure they are playing the music, and I must figure it got to get tiring to do that through out the whole show, but at least the conductor will also get to take the intermission, but he has to make sure to be back into the pit by the time the second act starts.
Isn't Bryan Perry the conductor now?
Do they clap and scream at anytime in the broadway show? In the west end version people are quiet and listen until they applaude
this is so so so my favorite broadway show
this is so my favorite show
THAT'S TRUE about talking to the audiance, I had Front row seats for the shrek tour, and before it started, all I did was talk to the conductor!
this is the amazing show
I've noticed that the music behind a lot of these BEC clips is "Popular"… I'd love to see a CD of just the music.
this is so my best favorite friend show
How does one become a conductor on Broadway? I started conducting musicals for High Schools, and want to advance to other musicals. If anyone could help or knows anything it would mean a lot! 😀 thanks!
this is m favorite broadway show of wicked
stephen schwartz did the music for "The Prince of Egypt" "Enchated" 'Pocahontas' (1995) lyricist
'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' (1996) lyricist cool
Play an instrument, sing, then go to college for it. They require a fully developed talent along with discipline.
how long ago was Dominick's last show? I see it's Bryan Perri as Musical Director in New York now (he was Musical Director fior most of the S.F. sit down run before Boko Suzuki replaced him towards the end of the run.
i love playing drums i would be over the moon if i could for this show
i think you may be right. I know originally the brass part in the bridge between verses in "As Long As You're" Mine" wasn't done on Broadway. although it appears that has changed.
oops MEANT to say the only person in the orchestra that wasn't an original orchestra member.
i see no signs of it closing anytime soon. the show is way to pop-u-ler..LAR!
Please tell me that this is still going on past 2013 cause i heard there stopping
As an actor, it's my dream to be part of this incredible cast. To work with the musical director, it would be a great learning experience on how I can make my voice even more stronger.
