Music Man ! LOOK PLEASE !?

Music Man ! LOOK PLEASE !?
Amaryllis is much bigger. She only sing a small piece of Goodnight My Someone which is 1 line of harmony with Marian at the very end of the song. She is there throughout the song and is supposed to be playing the background on the piano until she stops and watches Marian sing.



She has a scene where she invites her crush, Winthrop, to her birthday party but he refuses. That's when she gets into a discussion with marian about love and not wanting to become an old maid like her... check out the links for more info.



Gracie maybe has 2 lines and Amaryllis has a good deal more and is featured in other scenes where Gracie is not such as the gym scene where Mrs. Shinn is leading her Hiawatha girls or whatever they're called and Tommy sets off the fire cracker. Of course it depends on the director, but we've done this show 3 times and Gracie has always been left out while Amaryllis carries the rifle.



Gracie does say "Tommy Djilas did it" when the fire cracker goes off" and "The Wells Fargo wagon's coming" or something like that at the top of Act 2.

Reply:Amaryllis. She is the friend that has a crush on Winthrop, and (I think) sings part of "Goodnight My Someone." It's through her that you know some of the information about Winthrop and his shyness.



Gracie is a tiny character, the Mayor Shin's younger daughter. More than anything, she's a part of the chorus, following her parents or older sister, with a few lines here and there.



Hope your audition goes well!
Reply:Amaryllis has the bigger part, but any part is what it is all about. To be part of the fellowship of other people who have chosen to put themselves out there and tell a story to an audience, is the real reward and accomplishment.Good luck
