Question: Is it too late to think about broadway!?
i've LOVED broadway shows since!.!.!.!.as long as i can remember!. i can sing, but i want to be able to conquer my fear of singing in front of people before i do anything!. i've taken dance classes before, but i've never taken acting classes!.
i've just started college (freshman) a week or 2 ago!.!.!.!.is it too late to sign up for a private dance class (by my house) and an acting class at my school!? or musical theater!?
oh and i can read music!.!.!.!.but i would have to play it on the flute before singing it!. =/Www@QuestionHome@Com

No it's not too late; you only just started college! I am assuming you are about 18 then!? Still very young!. Now, if you have not had a whole childhood of singing and dance classes, your skills in those areas may not ever be the same as someone who has!. But that does not mean that you cannot develop those skills enough to be able to perform certain roles!. Take acting classes!. If you are a good actress (and p!.s!. it's never too late to begin that!), then you could learn to sing and move well enough to be in many shows and roles!. also, audition for plays at school or in community theatre!.
Again, be realistic about your goals and your talents!. Don't expect to quickly become a great dancer able to compete with those with years of training; or such a fabulous singer that you could compete with opera singers!. But you could certainly become quite sufficient in those areas!.
If you can read music, that's a huge plus and it's fine if you have to play it on the flute first!.
If this is something you love doing, enroll in the classes, audition for the shows, and enjoy it all!. And never become discouraged by the naysayers!. No one can guarantee you'll be a Broadway star, but it's pretty certain you won't become one if you don't give it a try!

It is not too late but you have years of work to do before you obtain your goal!. This is how it is for all actors though!. The career is a journey!. When you finish school you will need to plan your move to NYC!. That means mapping out how you survive financially while you build your career!. Anyway, by all means sign up for acting classes!.
If and when you start landing theater jobs they will most likely be doing regional theater and it could be years of this before you actually get to do a Broadway show!. I've linked the union site for stage actors below!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
