She has a couple of solo's, where she has to act young, but be older. I'd have to guess she's in her thirties, maybe older, but she still maintains that look where she is young and talented, and everyone wants to know who she is.
When we did the play, our Muzzy was really god, but she had trouble on the song that brings in the party scene. SO I would try and practice that one. I think it was called only in New york, but if thats not what its called that phrase is in the song alot.
As far as acting, well she has to show that she is living the life that everyone wants, but she isn't really and truely happy. She doesn't have the husband she was going to marry for money, because he died, but as she married him, she realized that it's all about love. She's a friend of millies and a confident, but she also is a teacher.
And for dancing, every time this musical is produced, there are going to be different dance moves used, and for Muzzy, she has a few solos, so there's a good chance that there will be alot of dancing for you, if you get the part, but again, it all depends on who the director is.
I think that should cover your question, if you need more help, let me know.
Good luck, hope you get the part.

Um yeah, the girl that played her in our play was very good. She had a very deep voice, but it was pretty, like I don't really know how to describe it, but if you have a very high voice, when you audition try lowering it a bit, it shouldnt be too big of a deal, if you've watched the movie, or been to the play before then you should be okay, if you can't find the movie, that kinda sucks, but it shouldnt be too big of a deal. You deleted this question, so I don't know if you'll get this, but hopefully you do, and hope you get the part!! [ angie91's advice column | Ask angie91 A Question ]
