Broadway...?

My best advice is go for it. If you persevere you can do anything. Just because you have to wait tables to pay the rent or you get told by someone that you would have to lose eight sizes before they would even think of casting you, or you think you did horribly at an audition doesn't mean you have to quit. You might even find something you like more than acting while you are trying to get to where you want to be.

You have answered your own questions. If you do not like competition - never mind the art about fame - you will never get to the level needed for Broadway. There are thousands of poeple who THRIVE on competition - and THEY are scrambling for even the smallest part - aend many do not achieve it.

You will not have to worry about fame. Strive for satisfaction a nd enjoyment. Pursue whatever career will give you personal and financial satisfaction - and then perform in local amateur companies. Abandon the idea of *I bet I could be on Broadway part-time*, as so many others on these lists have asked - they are delusional. Take vocal lesson, and perhaps take some electives in college - beside the requirements of whatever you are REALLY majoring in - in theater.

I am a professional classical musician. I also work out some. I am never going to the Olympics, nor would anyone even choose me for a team. I do it because I like it, and it is good for me. You situation is similar.|||It would be difficult to reach Broadway without a small degree of fame because you will first have to get your Equity card. In order to do that, you will have to perform with an Equity theatre for a year acquiring 1 point per week. In order to work for an Equity theatre, I'm going to assume that you're good enough to have gotten some leading roles along the way. It might not be fame in the same sense that Barbra Streisand has to handle fame, but I don't see anyone "sneaking" on to a Broadway stage by working their way all the way there in choruses. Fame has to do with how YOU handle it. I have had people stop me and say "Omigod! It's Petruchio!" or "Lord Goring, I presume?" and while it is gratifying to be remembered for these portrayals on stage, it is nothing that greatly alters my life.|||You are still young. You still have a lot of time to become one of the best! People know that you are great and if you work hard and dedicate your life to theater, you can get to broadway. However, these people on broadway have been rejected many times before. Sometimes you wont get the part you want, or a part at all. These people try so hard. Even if you try really hard, there will be a person who trys harder. You have to be strong. To be able to re-build yourself, when you break.

If you want to be big, you are going to be noticed, asked to sign autographs, and take pictures with people you dont know. You wont be a normal person. You cant help that. There are people just like you waiting for the stars to come out, waiting to meet them. That could be you, a star. Even though that isnt what you want, it is apart of the theater package.

Broadway has its pros and cons. Its pros are the magic it gives off, the amazing feeling you gain watching a show and preforming in a show. The cons are even if you work your butt off, sometimes someone else works harder. Fame is part of the package.

Good luck! I mean that with passion and hope for you in the future!
