Question

I am trying out for a musical and need to know what kind of monologue would get me the part! Please help!?

Answer 1

It doesn't matter if it is a musical or not. The rules for picking a monolgue remains the same, do a monologue that is basically in the vein of the show. For example, if it's a comedy, pick a comedic monologue. In all likelihood, they will have you sing with an accompanist anyway. This has nothing to do with your monologue. Remember, make eye contact when delivering your monologue, involve your "audience", if your director asks you to do over a portion of your monologue in a different style, make a conscious effort to do so.

Answer 2

Base your monologue on the role you are seeking. Whether it is directly from the musical or a character similar to that particular role, use that as your audition piece. If it is for a comedic role, look for comedic monologues that highlight the same theme or tone of the role you seek.  

If it is dramatic, do the same. "Winning Monologues" and "Monologues for Auditions" are books found in your local library.  Search through those with the information in mind. Good luck and above all, have fun.

Answer 3

I'm sorry, but we need to know what musical and what part.
