Greater Danbury Voice Training Blog - In the Heights at Immaculate H.S.

Posted by Horovi in musical theater , Immaculate High , Danbury

215px-In_the_HeightsOpening Night - April 25, 2013

The moment we heard that Immaculate High School in Danbury, Ct. was doing In the Heights we knew that we wanted to see it no matter who was in the cast. Songs from this show by Lin-Manuel Miranda are among our favorites in the studio. Besides, we wanted see how this musical all hangs together having heard such great reports about it from people who saw the production on Broadway. 

Mike wins a leading role

Back in the Fall of 2012 an Immaculate High student, Mike Burns, came to see us for some tips on auditioning. He wanted a leading role which involved some singing and a lot of very dynamic rapping that greatly appealed to him.  He was good for the part, took Christina’s advice on how to prepare effectively, and won the role he was after.  After those few coaching sessions we didn’t see Mike again until we saw him on stage. It was a delight to see him in action on opening night captivating the audience.
