Brisbane Junior Theatre Audition Monologues 2016 Singin in the Rain.

 

Don: Well, Dora, I've had one motto which I've always lived by: Dignity -- always dignity. This was instilled in me by Mum and Dad. They brought me up on Shaw and Moliere. The finest of the classics This stimulated my love for performing, and to this we added rigorous musical training at the conservatory.

Cosmo: Why bother to shoot this picture? Why don't you just release the last one under a new title? if you've seen one, you've seen them all. You can't let a little thing like this get you down. why you're Don Lockwood, aren't you"? And Don Lockwood's an actor, isn't he? what's the first thing an actor learns? The show must go on. Come rain, come shine, come sleet, come snow, the show must go on.

Kathy:  I knew I'd seen you even though I don’t watch your movies. Oh, no offense. But you see, I'm not interested in the movies. I guess it's entertaining enough for the masses, but the personalities on the screen don't impress me; I mean, they don't act -- they just make a lot of dumb show... Acting means great parts, wonderful lines speaking those glorious words...Shakespeare, Ibsen...Well I am an actress.

Lina:  You won’t do nothing R.F. You wouldn't want to call the papers and say Lina Lamont is a big fat liar! (Very pleased with herself) Ya see I gave an exclusive story - to every newspaper in town. You can’t control me any more, What do you think I am? Dumb or somethin'? I had my lawyers go over my contract. Yeah and you know what I found out… I control my publicity -- not you. " I could syoo you for the whole studio. It says so right here. 

R.F:
Every studio is jumping on the bandwagon, All the theatres are putting in sound equipment. We don't want to be left out of it. Don't worry it should be simple, It's a picture! You do what you always did ... You just add talking to it. It will be a sensation!(with a grand gesture)"Lamont and Lockwood" -- They talk! Monumental Pictures will soon be making musical movies and motion picture history.

Dora: Hello, out there! This is Dora Bailey talking to you in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Every star is here to make Monumental Pictures' premiere of "The Royal Rascal" the outstanding event of 1927. We are breathlessly awaiting the arrival of its two great stars, Lina Lamont and Don Lockwood. The stars keep pouring in, anticipating the arrival of tonight's glorious stars. Is it… is it… yes here they come now. 

Audition Song Lyrics: “Singin in the Rain”                                                                                                   

I'm singing in the rain Just singing in the rain
what a glorious feelin' I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark up above
the sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane With a happy refrain
Just singin' and dancin' in the rain.
