Help with Monologue and Song?

Question

Alright, so our school's play this year is Peter Pan. What would be a good monologue and song to do for tryouts? I can do any song, mainly lower though, and I am a 13 year old girl.

Thanks guys!

God bless :)

Answer 1

For Songs:

Anyone Can Whistle from Anyone Can Whistle

Anything But Lonely from Aspects of Love

As If We Never Said Goodbye from Sunset Boulevard

Hello, Young Lovers from The King and I

Home from Beauty & The Beast

I Don't Know How To Love Him from Jesus Christ Superstar

For monologue: (shortest to longest)

Comedic from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown:

A 'C'? A 'C'? I got a 'C' on my coathanger sculpture? How could anyone get a 'C' in coathanger sculpture? May I ask a question? Was I judged on the piece of sculpture itself? If so, is it not true that time alone can judge a work of art? Or was I judged on my talent? If so, is it fair that I be judged on a part of my life over which I have no control? If I was judged on my effort, then I was judged unfairly, for I tried as hard as I could! Was I judged on what I had learned about this project? If so, then were not you, my teacher, also being judged on your ability to transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to share my 'C'? Perhaps I was being judged on the quality of coathanger itself out of which my creation was made...now is this not also unfair? Am I to be judged by the quality of coathangers that are used by the drycleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my 'C'?

Dramatic from The Fantasticks:

This morning a bird woke me up. It was a lark, or a peacock; something like that. So I said hello. And it vanished, flew away, the very moment I said hello! It was quite mysterious. So do you know what I did? I went to my mirror and brushed my hair two hundred times, without stopping. And as i was brushing it, my hair turned mauve. No, honestly! Mauve! Then red. then some sort of a deep blue when the sun hit it.... I'm sixteen years old, and every day something happens to me. i don't know what to make of it. When i get up in the morning and get dressed, I can tell...something's different. I like to touch my eyelids, because they're never quite the same. oh, oh, oh! I hug myself till my arms turn blue, then I close my eyes and cry and cry till the tears come down and I can taste them. I love to taste my tears. I am special. I am special! Please god, please, don't let me be normal!

Dramatic from Anne of Green Gables:

Mrs. Lynde, I'm extremely sorry I behaved so terribly. I've disgraced my good friends who've let me stay at Green Gables on trial, even though I'm not a boy. I am wicked and ungrateful, and I deserve to be cast out forever. What you said was true; I am skinny and ugly, and my hair is red. What I said about you was true too, only I shouldn't have said it. Please, Mrs. Lynde, forgive me. You wouldn't be so cruel as to inflict a life-long sorrow on a poor orphan. Please. Please, forgive me.

Dramatic from the Sound of Music

Your children are just unhappy little marching machines. Take Liesl for example. Liesel isn't a child anymore! And if you keep treating her as one, you're going to have a mutiny on your hands! And Friedrich - Friedrich is afraid to be himself - he's shy, he's aloof, he needs your confidence!

Brigitta could tell you about him. That's because she notices things. She always tells the truth - especially when you don't want to hear it. Kurt - Kurt is sensitive, he's easily hurt, and you ignore him! You brush him aside just like you do all the others! I haven't finished yet! Louisa, Louisa wants to have a good time. Oh please Captain, let her have a good time! Marta - Marta I don't know about yet but someone has got to find out about her! And Gretl, oh little Gretl just wants to be loved! Oh please captain, love them, love all of them, they need you!
