In October of last year, UNC helped two of their own win an online contest for a destination wedding in Sweden by getting them the most votes.
Now, another Tar Heel needs students’ help.
Josh Alexander, Community Director for Morrison Community, has been dreaming of Broadway since he was 5 years old. And now he has his chance, but he needs some help to get there.
Alexander entered an online video competiton for an off-broadway production of RENT- Alexander’s dream job.
For the competition, Alexander had to submit a one-minute video of himself singing “Your Own Way,” a piece performed by the role of Mark in the show, the same role Alexander hopes to audition for. Alexander played the role two years ago in Company Carolina’s production of Rent.
Fun Fact: Alexander filmed his video in the 7th floor Morrison study lounge after UNC beat Duke to gain the regular season ACC title.
The winner of the competition gets a roundtrip ticket and one night stay in NYC in April for a live audition.
The competition is based on number of votes and highest rating. Right now, Alexander has a 2.8 star rating with 450 votes. The top-ranking competitors have 3.2 rating, but a lot more votes.
This is where the help part comes in. Alexander needs UNC’s help to win.
So show some Tar Heel pride and go vote for him here.
Voting is open until 11:59 pm on Sunday, March 27. You can vote once a day.
