Question: I need two contrasting audition songs!.!.suggestions!?

I'm a alto/mezzo and am trying out for my first adult show of Beauty and the Beast!. the songs have to be from a musical or a disney song!. 16 measures at most!. i might already have one "someday" from the wedding singer!. Its pop, character, and upbeat!. but i need something to contrast that or two whole other pieces!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've beeen out of the musical theatre game for years now, so I'm not one to give specific advice!. The site I've listed, however, contains suggestions for audition songs, lists of overdone songs that directors are sick of hearing, audition tips, and the like!. Enjoy!

Well, how about "Climb Every Mountain" from the Sound of Music!? They might be sick of songs from that though!.
Or something simple like "Born Free", although I don't know that it is a musical song!.
You could cheat and sing something from Beatlemania, that was a musical!.
Or something from "Godspell" or "Jesus Christ Superstar" or "Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" (or whatever it is called)!.
If I ever hear the song "Beauty and the Beast" again in my lifetime then I am likely to kill myself just to put myself out of my misery! Www@QuestionHome@Com
