yes, this was taped around 2 years ago while she was in 11th grade (16 yrs old) in her local high school, Cypress Bay High, in florida. Holly went on to graduate from Interlochen Arts Academy her senior year, and now attends University of Michigan for musical theatre as a freshman.
She has a great voice...I feel terrible that the tempo was so fast! Did she have a live band? They really picked up the pace on her. She really had to rush through the song...but she still did a great job!
she is amazing she is an amazing singer and actress.all i have to say is WOW!!!it was waaaayyyyyy to fast and it made it hard to no what was going on.
SHE is amazing! This year my school is having auditions of this musical and I feel like I was meant to play Gertrude. Watching this video gives me so much inspiration. :) Although there is SO many girls competing for this role, I just want to ask, what does it take to be Gertrude? :) Thanks so much.
WOW THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gertrude is like MENT for this part she is so good! sure the songs were a little fast but they were still great! horton had a great voice as well! great job! =)
Many thanks!!!!! This was DEFINITELY one of her best roles!! yeah..... high school shows have some compromises --- but in all, this was a fun show and Holly LOVED this character!
i go to a theatre camp every summer, and they are doing this show. I cannot wait because i believe I am gertrude, and i will be upset if i'm not. lol.
she would make a GREAT sarah in Guys and Dolls, that is what my high school did this year. She just looks like one.
thanks! my other favorite role (hers too!) was Lucy in Jekyll and Hyde... a far cry from Gertrude but that is what makes theatre interesting right!??? good luck this summer!!!!!
She's clearly studied up the role. She's got the character right. I only wish the music wasn't on fast forward. what the crap is up with that? yes. horton did go flat. i'm playing horton in our production that will hopefully happen this december. horton is s'posed 2 be fat. slim jim needs some padding. i like the add-in with the nurse's foreplay. haha. that was hilarious. where are the bird girls in 'all for you'? the part where gertrude says "aw...it was nothing" was hilarious.
Notice Me Horton sounded like it was on fast forward, but I'm thinking that was the fault of the accompaniment. She's a very good singer, and she did an impressive slide in Amayzing Gertrude. I'm currently playing this role, and she's one of the best vocal performances I've heard.
YES! This are excerpts from Cypress Bay High School's Musical Theatre Production class about 2 years ago (Holly's Junior Year). Holly graduated her senior year this year from Interlochen Arts Academy for theatre and will attend University of Michigan for musical theatre this fall (2007)
wow... could the bird girls be any less out of character while attaching her tail? the speed of 'Notice Me, Horton' (and the whole show in general) is CRAZY ... how sad (lol) that they cut the "pluck pluck pluck" section... i think that's so funny, and I bet Holly's expression would've been hilarious
the speed issue was a disappointment.... midi accompaniment.... ..nuff said. I was also annoyed that they cut some of Amazing Gertrude --- they saved like.... 15 seconds??? or less??? what can you do?!! thank goodness they DIDN'T cut that high d-flat!!!!!!!
Well, in any case, some of us love the sound of a good legitimate voice. I still don't think a beautiful note can detract from character. I'll take ping over belt anytime.
I sat in the audience all 4 nights. Holly was amazing.
This "hometown" girl will go far! I can only hope to inspire my 4-5 grade drama club at the elementary school down the street (MBE) to pursue their dreams like Holly has!
I agree; Gertrude does have a lovely voice but she doesn't get to show it off as much because of the speed...great job though when the only instument is a piano in the background
i agree. wonderful voice, but not quite right for the part. the girl who performed her part for my school sounded almost just like the broadway recording. it was great. also this would be better with a full pit playing the music.
Its seussical on speed
Great Voices!!!

it was so fast that it took away from the song
its suppose to be a downpoint
the rest of the show is upbeat, its a calming point
additionally, horton went flat during the duet part of Notice Me Horton
i love the characterization gerturude did.
and the music
sounds like MIDI files
weird.
good job though.

Speed is a director/musical director's decision. Actors just need to live up to the challenge. I think she pulled it off despite the speed.
