What's your voice range?

I personally like "Not A Day Goes By" by Sondheim. It really shows your range of emotion as well as vocal range. Alternately, you could go for "Unexpected Song" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It's definately for a high soprano voice. Uh. The infamous "Memory" also by Webber is good for a lower voice.

It really depends on your range.

Go get a Best of Broadway CD
There are a million good ones

(Character Sang By)
Phantom Of The Opera: Think of Me(Sang by Christine Daee)
Les Miserables: On My Own (Sang by Epioniene)
Guys and Dolls : If I Were A Bell (Sang by Mrs. Sarah)
There are tons more, if you just do some minimal research, there are several in Guys and Dolls! "On My Own" is a very powerful song, it's sure to move the judges, even if you dont have a very good voice, the lyrics are still beautiful!

Here's some shows and songs that I've personally seen:

WICKED: Popular, I'm Not That Girl

Grease: Hopelessly Devoted To You, Greased Lightning

Hairspray: Good Morning Baltimore, Ladie's Choice, It Takes Two, I Can Hear The Bells

The Lion King: They Live In You

Good luck with your audition!
