Prepared Song: Requiem " Dear Evan Hansen

Prepared Scene: From Snow White Gets Her Say - Catherine's monologue "That you don't recognize me by name is but the first of my complaints about my tale. Oh you know me alright. I'm the main character"in a tale titled with the name of one of the men in the story. But what?s in a name" A lot. Especially if it's a man's name. This man's name is the answer to the question upon which rests the fate of myself and my newborn child. So his name is very powerful, it is very important. My name apparently is not.

Nor is my life. For whether it is to be filled with joy and delight from being with my newborn, or empty with grief and loss from separation is to be decided by a mere guessing game.

Nor are my words important. I denied my father's boast. I told the King I most definitely could not spin gold out of straw. But he didn't believe me. Of course not. He chose instead to believe the words of an immature, egotistic, vain man. And I suffer the consequences.

The consequences. To pay for my father's ridiculous lie, I lose my sanity, my freedom, and my dignity for three nights"and almost my child, forever. (And one sentence"one sentence in the whole tale is devoted to that "choice", that decision to give up my child in return for my life.)

Because I 'succeeded" on the third night, I was 'rewarded" with marriage to the King. Thus, for all intents and purposes, I also lost my life. Can you imagine what it is like to be married"legally bound to honour and obey until death, and socioeconomically bound with little option but to stay and make the best of it"to a man who didn't believe me, a man who locked me in a room for three nights, a man so greedy that he said three nights in a row he'd kill me unless I did as he wanted" And that was before he owned me. But as the tale says, I am shrewd and clever. And I have learned the force of threat, and the importance of a name"especially if it is male. Proud fathers want very much to pass it on. But royal fathers'dear husband, aging Highness, what would happen to your precious lineage if my, your, only son were to suddenly"

Since I am not dead, and am living still?"

For his audition song, Eregor first gave a disclaimer. "The piece I've chosen is from the Earth musical 1776, and is something of a 'villain song'. While I don't condone the practices it describes....you cannot deny that it is a powerful and evocative song." With that, he cued the instrumental recording and began to sing of Molasses To Rum.

His monologue comes from Moliere's Tartuffe:

"Though pious, I am none the less a man; And when a man beholds your heavenly charms, The heart surrenders, and can think no more. I know such words seem strange, coming from me; But, madam, I'm no angel, after all; If you condemn my frankly made avowal You only have your charming self to blame. Soon as I saw your more than human beauty, You were thenceforth the sovereign of my soul; Sweetness ineffable was in your eyes, That took by storm my still resisting heart, And conquered everything, fasts, prayers, and tears, And turned my worship wholly to yourself. My looks, my sighs, have spoke a thousand times; Now, to express it all, my voice must speak. If but you will look down with gracious favour Upon the sorrows of your worthless slave, If in your goodness you will give me comfort And condescend unto my nothingness, I'll ever pay you, O sweet miracle, An unexampled worship and devotion. Then too, with me your honour runs no risk; With me you need not fear a public scandal. These court gallants, that women are so fond of, Are boastful of their acts, and vain in speech; They always brag in public of their progress; Soon as a favour's granted, they'll divulge it; Their tattling tongues, if you but trust to them, Will foul the altar where their hearts have worshipped. But men like me are so discreet in love, That you may trust their lasting secrecy. The care we take to guard our own good name May fully guarantee the one we love; So you may find, with hearts like ours sincere, Love without scandal, pleasure without fear."

For her audition, Pearl offered the following pieces: Tango por una cabeza on violin. On Piano, she played The Ludlows from a film called "Legends of the Fall." Her vocal piece was "I Hope You Dance."

The dramatic monologue she picked was a difficult one, from what theater folk called the Scottish play, Lady MacBeth's soliloquy.

He has almost supped. Why have you left the chamber" Was the hope drunk Wherein you dressed yourself" Hath it slept since" And wakes it now to look so green and pale At what it did so freely' From this time Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valor As thou art in desire" Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would," Like the poor cat i' the adage" What beast was't then That made you break this enterprise to me" When you durst do it, then you were a man; And to be more than what you were, you would Be so much more the man. Nor time nor place Did then adhere, and yet you would make both. They have made themselves, and that their fitness now Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done this. If we should fail" Screw your courage to the sticking place And we'll not fail. When Duncan is asleep (Whereto the rather shall his day's hard journey Soundly invite him), his two chamberlains Will I with wine and wassail so convince That memory, the warder of the brain, Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason A limbeck only. When in swinish sleep Their drench'd natures lies as in a death, What cannot you and I perform upon Th' unguarded Duncan' what not put upon His spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt Of our great quell"

Kruger had traveled this road several times over the past few years. He didn't adhere to standard monologues from ancient works. This year he went with something even more modern than times past, performing a pair of scenes from the screenplay of The Judge. He handed off the passages to the nearest hopeful, asking them to read for the part of Judge Palmer to his Hank Palmer.

Hank Palmer: Why'd you pull me out of Boy Scouts" Judge Joseph Palmer: As punishment for blowing up the McCraw's mailbox with M80s. Hank Palmer: I was 13. *That* you remember. *That*! Judge Joseph Palmer: Oh, old enough to know better. Hank Palmer: You didn't come to my high school graduation or college. Why" Judge Joseph Palmer: Oh, boo-fucking-hoo. "Why?" Jail time, truancy, I don't get to reward anything! None of your shit! Hank Palmer: I graduated from *law school*, for Christ's sake. Judge Joseph Palmer: As opposed to what? Dropping out" Hank Palmer: Fuck you! Judge Joseph Palmer: Let me tell you something, okay' I put a roof over your head, money in your pocket, clothes on your back....*food* in your *mouth*! Who paid for that college education' I never showed up to kiss your ass, but your mother" She's a house wife! Why couldn't you swallow your God damned pride and just come home to her" You tell me why! Hank Palmer: You know, you'd invite people at the end of their parole back to court....You'd *recognize* those who did their time, turned their lives around, made something of themselves. Everyone in the court applauded, and you made sure they did! Tell them how *proud* you were....Proud of *fucking* strangers! Judge Joseph Palmer: Is that all you wanted, Henry, was a kind word" An 'atta boy' Then to use your words, you should have *come* the *fuck* home! We all waited, *quietly*, but you never came. Okay' And I was the one she'd blame, because you wouldn't come home. Me. Now, was I tough on you? Yes. How'd you turn out, Henry' Waiting tables" A bum" Hank Palmer: You put me in Juvenile Detention....you sent me to fucking Vanderburgh! Judge Joseph Palmer: No, no, no, no, no, you put yourself there. Hank Palmer: Did I" Judge Joseph Palmer: Yes. Hank Palmer: The prosecutor recommended community service. That was *your* call! Judge Joseph Palmer: No, no, no, it wouldn't have *helped* you! Hank Palmer: I didn't need *help*, I needed *you*! Judge Joseph Palmer: You were high, you rolled a car with your brother in it! He had a major league career ahead of him, a 90 mile-an-hour fast ball, and he runs a turnip shop! You crippled him, you stole his future, and you call *me* an ass hole" Hank Palmer: What do you want from me" I was 17 when that happened. I was *17*. Judge Joseph Palmer: Oooh, "I was 13, I was 17." You were headed down the wrong path! I did what I thought was right. Hank Palmer: You know, I didn't just graduate from law school, I graduated first in my class....I was *first* in my class....I did *really* well, dad. Judge Joseph Palmer: You're welcome. Hank Palmer: Fuck....Damn this house....God damn this fucking house...

———————-

Hank Palmer: I don't buy it. It can't be the first time someone's insulted you. It's your job. Why did you go easy on him the first time" Of all the judges in Indiana, the one with the tightest....You gave him 30 days. He threatened her, discharged a firearm at her residence.That's six months. A year. Easy. What was your reasoning" A hundred and 80 days, that's solid. Maybe he'd have cooled off. Maybe he doesn't kill Hope. Maybe we're not here. Of all the years you sat on that bench....all the people that stood before you, the leniency....the understanding, the free ride goes to Mark Blackwell" How do you explain that lapse in judgment" Judge Joseph Palmer: Same willful disobedience....same recklessness. I looked at him and saw my middle son.My little boy. My little boy. I watched him cry right there. I wanted to put my arms around him and tell him it didn't have to be like this. I wanted someone to help him....like I'd want someone to help my boy....if he lost his way. It was my chance to be....that someone. Is that so much to ask" Hank Palmer: Maybe so. Maybe so. I have memories. Of us. You, me. Then I don't. How come" Why' Why' Why" Judge Joseph Palmer: I looked at you and I saw him. Judge Joseph Palmer:

As stated on her application, Merry was definitely not in any fit state to physically audition right now. Carrying thirty-five weeks of pregnancy did not make for the most stable platform in dance. But she showed anyway, despite Tony and Anya's assurance that she could audition privately when she was recovered from the birth, determined to give her support to her husband and friends, and the new faces who might want to audition for the ballet.

Encouraged by Josette's example of the past few years, Jamie decided to take his courage in both hands for this audition, and do something decidedly contemporary.

Her prepared piece was two scenes from Shakespeare's "Scottish Play." She started with the first part of Act 1 Scene V where she reacts to her husband's letter, and the announcement of Macbeth and Duncan's arrival. She followed that with the well known Sleepwalking scene in Act 5 Scene I.

When it was done, she thanked Mataya and Ludo, and was met on the way up the aisle with a big hug from her daughter Lottie. She smiled. No matter what happened that hug was the biggest part of her day.
