Rachel Audition for Funny Girl - Glee

[@rosesmith401]

The fact that Finn said he couldn't wait to go to a show some time and he never made it 💔

[@meganbassett543]

That still hurts!

[@MrGleeiscool]

he did through her necklace she saved a seat for him in her heart

[@jayxfrost8987]

Well, I feel bad too but after all... doing drugs was Cory's decision. No one forced him to do that, so... no matter how sad it is he's the only responsible for his own death. If he didn't do drugs he would've been still alive.

[@emmakappeynev.dcoppello4523]

Simmie X thats such a black and white way of looking at it though. Cory was really fighting his addiction and he died when he relapsed. Addiction is one of the hardest fights and often lasts someone's entire life

[@jayxfrost8987]

Emma Kappeyne v.d Coppello My point it... no one forced him to start! There wasn't anyone holding a gun to his head forcing him to do it... no, he just did. It was his decision... just like someone decide to smoke or drink, someone decide to do drugs.

[@beccagordon-ross724]

They're wearing the original costumes. My heart is now gone

[@Lori-xt2lf]

I love that they were on such good terms when he died. You can hear the love was back in their voices.

[@sarinaisnotfunny7583]

i love how nostalgic this is and all and there are many other unrealistic things, but WHY in the world, did rachel a theatre fanatic who knows a lot about that world choose to audition for a broadway musical with a journey song ???

[@fabdro7507]

They must have thought she was crazy

[@TheActualAldo]

She was probably only moving inside her head imagining her friends but only singing very emotionally on the outside which is what the producers/casting team probably picked up on. I hardly think she actually did all those movements all around the stage lol

[@tloj2469]

I love how people are trying to note the unrealistic parts... this is glee NOTHING IS REALISTIC and if, after 4 seasons, you haven’t realised that, then I’m worried for what you’ve been watching.

[@aratrikaroy8284]

Tyger T I'll agree. However, the characters were quite realistically shown.

[@tloj2469]

Aratrika Roy the characters were realistic but their actions weren’t and they were over exaggerated a lot throughout the show, especially characters like Rachel, Santana, Kurt (not so much in the later seasons but definitely earlier on)

[@violetrose674]

It's not that it's not realistic, it's just shitty writing

[@sydneybladen8211]

Chills, everytime. I think this is my favorite version of this song on the show. You can just feel all of the emotion

[@meganbassett543]

Sydney Bladen agreed!

[@shiarasingh9908]

Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in south Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere A singer in a smoky room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on, and on, and on Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights, people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to roll the dice Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on, and on, and on Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights, people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlights, people Don't stop believin' Hold on Streetlights, people Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlights, people

[@jackolas2007]

Rachel was such an idiot in S5, trying to ditch the show as soon as she got it. She had been fantasising about playing a Barbra role for the entire Glee!

[@westworlds]

Yeah I blame the writers. They were not true to Rachel's character. Rachel Berry would have lived and died playing in Funny Girl.

[@najae808]

Suzanne Cap I agree! They had spent the entire show emphasizing Rachel’s love for Broadway and dream to play Fanny Brice, but as soon as she gets there, she suddenly stops caring about it? It was so frustrating to watch!

[@jdlee4358]

that should have been the ending of glee her career skyrocketing and marrying finn after

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Radagast she wasn’t fucking happy would you keep doing something that didn’t make you happy at all because if you do then you’re the idiot

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

I watched this exactly a year before I fell in love with musical theatre. And lately I’ve been so insecure about my talents, but this song I feel like is Rachel telling me to don’t stop believing. God is real and he works in some mysterious ways.

[@imnotacat3798]

@@j.i.r608 it's not because of that. It just shows that your knowledge of musical theatre is pretty limited. Plus, they've probably heard all the renditions of the song already. If you can find a piece that they won't have heard and sing it well, that'll make a much better impression.

they wont let you sing that long? Even if you are the PERFECT fit with PERFECT voice? :o

Theatre producers do not have the time. It's either a 16 or a 32 bar cut and it's very likely they will stop you midway into your 32.
