2020 musical Singing AuditionsNext year is production year at Russley and 2020 is shaping up to be our best show ever!
The script is written and we are in the very early stages of planning. We will be running lead auditions in the middle of Term One next year. However, we are interested in discovering before then, what singing talent we have in the school. The show we are aiming for will have more singing leads than ever before. While not all roles will involve singing, if you are interested in auditioning for a lead next year we strongly recommend that you consider a singing audition this year. Below is the song we would like you to prepare for the audition. We would like you to sing the first verse and chorus of 'Giants in the Sky' from Into the Woods. Below is the track from the movie version as well as the instrumental track. For your audition you can sing either along with the track or, if you are feeling brave and well practised, the instrumental version. We are particularly looking for children who can 'perform and tell the story' so give it your best shot! |

Lyrics
There are Giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible Giants in the sky!
When you're way up high
And you look below
At the world you've left
And the things you know,
Little more than a glance
Is enough to show
You just how small you are.
When you're way up high
and you're on your own
In a world like none
That you've ever known,
Where the sky is lead
And the earth is stone,
You're free, to do
Whatever pleases you,
Exploring things you'd never dare
'Cause you don't care,
When suddenly there's
A big tall terrible Giant at the door,
A big tall terrible lady Giant sweepin' the floor.
And she gives you food
And she gives you rest
And she draws you close
To her Giant chest,
And you know things now
That you never knew before,
Not till the sky.
There are big tall terrible Giants in the sky!
When you're way up high
And you look below
At the world you've left
And the things you know,
Little more than a glance
Is enough to show
You just how small you are.
When you're way up high
and you're on your own
In a world like none
That you've ever known,
Where the sky is lead
And the earth is stone,
You're free, to do
Whatever pleases you,
Exploring things you'd never dare
'Cause you don't care,
When suddenly there's
A big tall terrible Giant at the door,
A big tall terrible lady Giant sweepin' the floor.
And she gives you food
And she gives you rest
And she draws you close
To her Giant chest,
And you know things now
That you never knew before,
Not till the sky.
