Hello fellow singers!
This musical is very near and dear to my heart. I have always wanted to do a cover of this quartet and now that I know there are guys out there who want to sing, I feel like I can find some cool peeps to work with. Here is how auditions go, listen to the part of the person that you want to audition for, harmonizing can come after casting, so just focus on who you want to sing as. You can choose to sing all of the lines I have listed or just the first & last. I really want to hear you guys get into it and have fun! This will end up on my youtube channel and I will post links to the cast's pages as well. Feel free to post any questions you may have.
Best of Luck!
Ariel/Allieactress
Here are the full lyrics if, you wanted to follow along:
If Only (Quartet) lyricsAriel:
If only you could know
The things I long to say
If only I could tell you
What I wish I could convey
It's in my ev'ry glance
My heart's an open book
You'd see it all at once
If only you would look
If only you could glimpse
The feeling that I feel
If only you would notice
What I'm dying to reveal
The dreams I can't declare
The needs I can't deny
You'd understand them all
If only you would try
All my secrets, you would learn them
All my longings, you'd return them
Then the silence would be broken
Not a word would need be spoken
Prince Eric:
What is it about her
That's so wonderfully, impossibly familiar?
Why do I feel dizzy
In a way I've only felt but once before?
How come when she looks at me
It seems like time stops moving
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore?
But that voice!
Ariel:
If only it were true
If only for a while
Eric:
Ah, that voice!
Ariel:
If only you would notice
How I ache beneath my smile
Eric:
Where's that voice?
Ariel:
I guess you never will
I guess it doesn't show
But if I never find a way to tell you so
Oh, what I would give
If only you could know
Sebastian:
(Spoken)Bless ya, child. Tomorrow, the Prince will have his pick of any princess in the land! How can a little mermaid
compete with that?
If only I knew how
I'd make him see the light
If only it were up to me
This all would turn out right
And if I only could
I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd simply wave my claw
And make your dreams come true
And wouldn't that surprise you
If you only knew
King Triton:
How could she just suddenly
Completely disappear into thin water?
It's been two whole days
And I don't know where she has gone!
Eric:
Ah, that voice!
King Triton:
If only you'd come home...
Sebastian:
If only I could help...
Eric:
Where's that voice?
Ariel:
If only there were time
I know we'd kiss at last
Eric:
That voice!
King Triton:
If only you'd come back
I'll change my ways!
Sebastian:
Just one more day for that kiss to come...
Ariel:
But time keeps racing forward
And our moment's almost passed!
King Triton:
I'll try to understand...
Ariel:
It has to happen now...
King Triton:
I'll keep my temper low...
Sebastian:
I'd give my life up to make it happen...
King Triton:
I should have started listening to you all along...
Eric:
How I wish that girl could have been this one!
Ariel:
There's only one more day until I have to go!
Eric:
If only...
Ariel, Sebastian & King Triton:
Oh, what I would give if only you could know...
Eric:
And at the ball
What will occur?
Maybe I'll find that voice
But I'll lose her...
Ariel:
If only...
Sebastian:
If only...
King Triton:
If only...
Try to get as close as you can to Sebastian from the movie or broadway show. He is being caring in this scene and feels helpless wishing he could do more for Ariel.
If only I knew how
I'd make him see the light
If only it were up to me
This all would turn out right
And if I only could
I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd simply wave my claw
And make your dreams come true
And wouldn't that surprise you
If you only knew
If only I could help!
Just one more day for that kiss to come...
I'd give my life up to make it happen...
Oh, what I would give if only you could know...
If only.....
He is feeling regret over the fact that he did not listen to his daughter. I want him to have a nice strong voice.
How could she just suddenly
Completely disappear into thin water?
It's been two whole days
And I don't know where she has gone!
If only you'd come home...
If only you'd come back
I'll change my ways!
I'll try to understand...
I'll keep my temper low...
I should have started listening to you all along...
Oh, what I would give if only you could know...
If only....
Young, bright, princely. He is very torn in this quartet, unsure if he should give up on finding that mysterous voice or choose to be with the girl her is falling for.
What is it about her
That's so wonderfully, impossibly familiar?
Why do I feel dizzy
In a way I've only felt but once before?
How come when she looks at me
It seems like time stops moving
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore?
But that voice!
Ah that voice!
Where's that voice?
How I wish that girl could have been this one!
And at the ball
What will occur?
Maybe I'll find that voice
But I'll lose her...
