Appointment for a CD Burlesque Extravaganza!

I go to several different sources for audition notices, one of which is playbill.com. Today I found a call for male or female Cabaret Singer for a "sultry and seedy burlesque-acro-extravaganza" being performed down at the South Street Seaport.

In order to schedule an audition appointment you had to email your headshot, resume as well as an mp3 or video file. After checking out several youtube videos of the production on line, I decided that my recording of Peggy Lee's "Fever" would best fit the bill.

A couple hours later I was contacted with an audition time. Yes! It worked!
1:00pm tomorrow. I'll be there with bells on.

According to the notice I need to provide my own accompaniment on CD for the audition, so I spent part of my evening rifling through karaoke CDs and looking up songs on my old standby, itunes. I was really hoping to find the track for one of my all time favorite standards, "If Love Is A Red Dress" by Maria McKee, but to no avail. I really have to track that track down some how! I know it's out there because I've sung it before in karaoke joints from Nashville to NY!

Desptie my obvious frustration, I settled on burning a CD of five suitable songs which included: "Silent All These Years" (Tori), "It's Oh So Quiet" (Bjork), "La Vie En Rose" (Edith Pilaf), "Fever" (Peggy Lee)and "Angel" (Sarah McLachlan.
That oughta do the trick and provide me with a couple of options should they decide that they would like to hear something else.

I think I've covered all my bases for tomorrow including what I'm going to wear. I've selected a black crepe halter dress with a subtle, yet bold floral print and black heels. I realize that I may be a bit over dressed for an audition for a burlesque show, but my pasties are at the dry cleaners. talk about bad timing!
