Well, this is an impossible question for one that comes up so often. It really depends on your actual range and the quality of your voice. I could give you three tenor-ish songs, let's say, Something's Coming from West Side Story, Hey There from the Pajama Game, and Love Changes Everything from Aspects of Love, and if one of them is you, the other two are likely not. You're going to have to listen to some OBCR's and decide who sounds like you. If you have a music teacher, see if he or she will listen with you. If nothing else I've given you a couple ideas :-)

Good Luck

oh lord.

I don't know much about musical theater myself (I can't sing) but I do believe their are characters in Sweeney Todd who sing the range your looking for. Best of Luck.

You should probably decide if you are a tenor or a bass, they are very different and it is near humanly impossible to be both. A tenor would never have a low D (below the staff), and a bass would certainly not have a high A (about the staff).

That said, I can't imagine how you are auditioning for The Little Mermaid unless it is a bootleg production - the rights are not available.

I would look at other Menken songs for auditions material. (Little Shop, Aladdin, etc.)

do be like bluebird from anything goes it is a funny song that u will be remebered 4
