    Lynette Marshall is auditioning for a new Broadway musical, singing "Broadway Baby" from Follies. She is nervous as this is her first audition at this level. Her clothes were ruined by her cat and she did not have much time to prepare with the accompanist. If she books the job, her life and dreams of originating a Broadway role will be fulfilled. However, if she does not get the part, she will need to find another job and audition again in the future.

    17 April 2014

    “Broadway Baby”

    Name: Lynette Marshall

    Song: “Broadway Baby”

    Musical: Follies

    Book Writer: James Goldman

    Composer: Stephen Sondheim

    Lyricist: Stephen Sondheim

    Choreographer: Michael Bennett

    OUT OF CONTEXT

    Relationship:

    My scene partner is the panel of producers and casting directors at the audition.

    Goal:

    I need the casting directors and producers to choose me to star in their new hit musical.

    Obstacle:

    I have never auditioned at this level before so it’s a very nerve racking environment. I

    have made no name for myself, which means no reputation for better or worse. The producers

    have been sitting watching auditions for the entire day already and they seem to be getting antsy

    to finish up the day. I was told to wear something comfortable to dance in, but my clothes got
    Marshall 2

    wrecked by my cat, who peed on half my clean laundry. I also didn’t have much time to speak to

    the accompanist before I had to sing.

    Tactics:

    to smile, to dance, to sing, to charge, to wiggle my toes, to believe, to speak clearly, to

    joke

    Environment:

    I am in Pearl Studios, 500 8th Ave, New York, NY 10018, on the twelfth floor. It is mid

    October and it’s just nice enough where you only need a light jacket. There were about seventy-

    five girls, who wore better clothes and had better hair and nicer teeth than me, that have gone

    before me. I feel like Cathy Hyatt singing, “Climbing Uphill” from The Last Five Years. In the

    studio there is a long gray fold out table lined by twelve balding men and one mousy looking

    girl, probably an intern. The accompanist is sitting behind a keyboard and looking like he wants

    to kill himself. There are two windows to the right of me and I can look across and see the

    opposite building from where I stand in the middle of the studio. I have been asked to take my

    heels off so I’m standing in my stocking feet looking even more like a short fat hobbit than I did

    before.

    Stakes:

    If I do book this job, my life will be turned upside right. My parents won’t have to be

    worried about supporting me and I can quit my job at Barney’s. My dreams of originating a role

    on Broadway would be fulfilled and I could finally tell everyone who’s been rooting for me since

    day one, that I’ve done something with my talent.


    Marshall 3

    If I don’t end up booking this job, I need to take on another survival job, my parents will

    keep calling me asking how I’m holding up, my self esteem will take a minor hit, but ultimately

    it’s on to the next audition!
