Question:

What are some good Broadway songs for a belting voice?

Something that will really blow people away. Mostly for auditions, but also just for singing. Preferibly Broadyway, in a mezzo soprano or soprano range.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try these:

"Love" from Annie Warbucks (not the traditional Annie)
"On the Other Side of the Tracks" from Little Me
"Now That I've Seen Her" from Miss Saigon
"Waiting for Life" from Once on this Island
"If I Had a Fine White Horse" from The Secret Garden
"You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" from Annie Get Your Gun
"Astonishing" from Little Women

Other possibilities, done by belt/mezzo characters, though not necessarily with much belt in them:

"Lay Down Your Head" or "Hey, I'm Dyin'" from Violet
"Nobody's Side" or "Heaven Help My Heart" from Chess
"Home" or "A Change in Me" from Beauty and the Beast
"Everything's Coming Up Roses" or "Roses Turn" or "Some People" from Gypsy
"Purlie" or "I Got Love" from Purlie
