What are good songs for trying out for a play (1st soprano)?

Question:it's beauty and the beast and i'm trying out for belle

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: it's beauty and the beast and i'm trying out for belle

Here are a few choices that I've heard work well for Belle:

"Astonishing" from 'Little Women' (ONLY if this isn't overdone in your area. It's getting to the point of being overdone, so don't sing it if you think that anyone else will be.)

"Far From the Home I Love" from 'Fiddler on the Roof' (Be careful with this one as well. It's not nearly as overdone as Astonishing, but it's more well-known.)

Here's a list of similar characters if you want to do some of your own research (sorry, I have to go or I'd say more):

Goodbye My Love, from Ragtime is a nice, lyric soprano song that has the same "feel" of a lot of the music from Beauty and the Beast.

My White Knight from The Music Man also would be a good selection.

What's the Use of Wonderin' may not be too bad (that's from Carousel)

"Times Like This," from Lucky Stiff, is very charming.
