Notes on Broadway or Bust


  • Actors that want to be on broadway have a different type of charisma
  • They are energetic and generally happy, although very competitive
  • The choreography is difficult to learn, especially in the time given
  • Theatre acting requires a new level of emotion and emphasis
  • It is a very competitive market for trying to find broadway actors, limited roles
  • Critics are especially tough on the young actors, even excessively at times
  • there is no room for error in the competition they are apart of
  • kids go from being the best locally, to just another number in this competition because everyone else is as good as they are. You really need to prove yourself in order to stand out amongst the other contestants
  • Performances must be as fundamentally sound as possible. It must be thoroughly perfect, even through the introducing of themselves to the judges
  • Everything and every action made is being judge by one of the judges
