"When you go to auditions, most people are too afraid to go far enough."
- David Brunetti

"I have a friend who says, 'Show me a well-behaved child, and I'll show you an abused child.' Children aren't meant to be perfect."
- David Brunetti

David Brunetti: You just came in half a bar early.
1st-Year GP: (gestures to accompanist) I feel like I need him to go, 'Hit it, Toots!'

(after 1st-Year GK recited the lyrics to "Real Live Girl")
1st-Year TS: Absolutely no character adjustment whatsoever.
David Brunetti: (to 1st-Year GK) Is that true?
1st-Year GK: I don't think so. I don't know.
David Brunetti: Why'd he say that?
1st-Year GK: I don't know why he said that.
1st-Year TS: I don't know why I say most things I say.

1st-Year JaS: You don't know this, but we had thirteen people in our class until she killed one of them. Jorge. With the apple.
Angela: In the Conservatory.

Wifey: I brought in like five songs. I secretly knew this was the one, but how often do you get to sing and have someone just play for you?
Accompanist: You used me!

"You guys are great. I almost feel like I'm not earning my money, because the work is so good I have nothing to do."
- David Brunetti

David Brunetti: Does singing scare you?
1st-Year JaS: It didn't used to. I guess... I suppose it doesn't scare me as much as rock climbing.

"Hello. I'm [1st-Year TS], I'm a first-year, and this is a cat being killed by a bagpipe.... No, it's 'River in the Rain'."
- 1st-Year TS (in a rehearsal)

"Hello. My name is [1st-Year TS], I'm a first-year, and I'm going to sing 'River in the Rain'. And then I'm going to throw up."
- 1st-Year TS (at the Showing)
