passion play

• • Hey,
    
    I am writing on Julia's behalf. Given that she is playing Jesus, she would like to request that she be allowed to sing Endless Night from the Lion King. She really loves that song, and it could potentially work as a garden scene song for her. I do realize that it would require writing in a bit of an extra scene but I dont see that being overly complicated. Anyways give it some thought and get back to her when you can either via me (sara) and facebook, or you could email julia.
    Thanks,
    Sara and Julia
    
    ps we wont be able to make it tomorrow btw (I indicated that on my availability sheet...)

    Hey girls, Hehe yes Julia, you have been casted as Jesus, although you might not know how many songs you already have major solo's and duets in. You are the main soloist for Testify to love, and you have big solo's and duets in I have a hope, I believe, and Daddy why. You have the third biggest singing role in the play (other two are Debra and Sara (but Sara doesn't know this yet haha)). Also, this years Jesus is very 'communal' oriented and it wouldnt make sense for the flow of his character to have the stage to himself. But I would like to keep the song in mind for another year.
    Im sorry Julia but I think adding a song would take away from your character and seriously overload you.
    I hope you understand and we can take about this more on Sunday (we are going to work scene 6 and 3, and do a whole lot of singing)
    Linda

    
    

    Its EXACTLY what sara and I though she would write....except for the whole having more songs than I thought. I'll mention it again so they know I'm not happy about it, but I won't sing the song since they ARE letting me sing more. Sara has decided she won't quit but shes not really happy about it :S...but she'll be there :)
