Pirates of penzance monologue?

Question

i need a short, comedic female monologue for an audition for The Pirates of Penzance tomorrow, and still haven't come up with anything. please don't just give me a monologue database; i've most likely already looked through it and don't have time to look through others. specifics are best. thanks!

Answer 1

So long as you have your song nailed down... How about:

Pride and Prejudice

Lydia Bennet - She's like a spoiled teen at the mall who still thinks the universe revolves around her and just doesn't get the bigger picture. (First at a dining hall where she asks her older sisters to pay for her meal, then riding in a carriage with them, talking about her shopping and her flirting)

We mean to treat you all, but you must lend us the money, for we have just spent ours at the shop out there. Look here, I have bought this bonnet. I do not think it is very pretty; but I thought I might as well buy it as not….. How nicely we are crammed in [to this carriage]! I am glad I bought my bonnet, if it is only for the fun of having another bandbox! Well, now let us be quite comfortable and snug, and talk and laugh all the way home. And in the first place, let us hear what has happened to you all since you went away. Have you seen any pleasant men? Have you had any flirting? I was in great hopes that one of you would have got a husband before you came back. Jane will be quite an old maid soon, I declare. She is almost three and twenty! Lord, how ashamed I should be of not being married before three and twenty!

It may be the right era and style, not sure about the attitude though. It does have to do with young girls looking for husbands...

good luck,
Marianne

Omg observed this at my college :) good coach, yet little tip in no way do a monologue from a action picture or coach for an audition. some human beings will enable it even though it rather is kinda unprofessional. injury a leg :)
