It would seem highly unlikely or even impossible that someone could make a jump from the vaudeville stage to the Metropolitan Opera House in the 21st century. After all, vaudeville is supposed to be dead, and the Met has its own ways of finding new talent.
However, Barbara Padilla from Houston, Texas by way of Guadalajara, Mexico finished up her stint on NBC's "America's Got Plenty of Vaudeville Talent" last night. Although, she only managed to place 2nd over all in the competition, and won't be earning a million dollars and her own show in Las Vegas. I firmly suspect, that someone at the Metropolitan will have acquired her cell phone number by now and will be getting in touch.
