Feedback wanted — The Ballad of Jane Doe for an audition song?
Audition is for Beetlejuice Jr. Jane Doe video was too large to upload so I’m sharing a link instead.
The director has requested a one-minute cut BUT many people go over at this theatre in our experience, and even do full songs; when we adhered perfectly to the time limit one year they asked, “that’s it?” afterwards.
So I realized we need to plan to do a little more than requested at this theatre.
That said, this song is a full five minutes long. It’s a great five minutes and shows off the range & skill really well. But it would be a shame to be stopped halfway through when the real pinnacle is at the end.
If you were me — would you cut it? And where would you begin it?
