Bernadette Peters is one of the greatest singing actors of our time and quite possibly in the history of Musical Theatre. This song is from Merrily We Roll Along by Stephen Sondheim and gives us a perfect example of why SUBTEXT is absolutely critical when acting a song. Like most of Sondheim’s pieces, this one offers a great challenge. Throughout the entire song, but especially at the end, the lyrics are incredibly repetitive. In fact, the last minute only includes a few unique words, “day after day after day after day,/’til the days go by,/’til the days go by...” repeated over and over again. When Bernadette Peters performs this song it leaves us a sense of longing, sadness, despair, and maybe just a touch of hope. I am convinced that a performance by a lesser actor would not automatically do the same. ⠀
⠀
So, how do we handle incredibly repetitive songs? How do we perform them in a way that makes people WANT to watch them over and over again? The actor’s job is to dive deep into the subtext of the song. The subtext is the words left unsaid, the true meaning underneath the sung text. It is easy for subtext to get skipped as we are so busy focussing on the notes, the dynamics, and making sure the song sounds great. However, no matter how great you sound, a beautiful song is not complete until it is truthfully performed. A great exercise to help you dig into subtext is to physically write it out piece by piece. Break the song down line by line, or phrase by phrase and then write the words your character wishes they could say. Write out their truth, or at least the truth as you interpret it. This might line up perfectly with the intent of the lyric, or it might completely contrast......⠀
