Here's the I Wish song from MATRIX! the musical. (In MUSICAL! the musical, the audience picks the story we turn into a Broadway style musical. In this show, they chose the movie "The Matrix.") This is a standard Tagline song format. Mike Shreeman is playing Neo here. Eric Svjcar is on the piano. |

Thanks Aden!
This was for the Illinois High School Theater Fest, in an amazing venue, so we brought three cameras to tape the shows. Any other videos I post won't look/sound so good!
Here's the love duet between Neo (Mike Shreeman) and Trinity (Colleen McHugh). Another Tagline song format.
As you can see, we do it in the style of Broadway. I've always been proud that it's a Broadway type musical which happens to be improvised, rather than an improv show which happens to be musical. (There IS a difference!)

OH MAN! Love it!
It's something I'm having to constantly work on and remind myself to do to sing from my training and allow myself to sound beautiful when I sing. I have a tendency to sing silly (and dance with my shoulders by my ears... but that's another issue). So, it's absolutely lovely to hear such gorgeous singing in an improvised number.

Thanks again!
Yes, I had to break the actors of a bunch of bad improv habits when rehearsing for MUSICAL! Wandering while singing was one. Improvisers have a bad tendancy to move aimlessly around stage while singing. It looks like improv - not Broadway.
By all means sing silly if it's a strong character song, but let your beautiful voice be heard for all the other songs. It will seem more "legit" and impress the hell out of the audience!
