...a super weird song? I'm curious to know what you mean by that.

Anyway, here a few:
"My New Philosophy' from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
"My Strongest Suit" from Aida
"All for You", "Notice Me, Horton", "It's Possible" from Seussical
"Not For the Life of Me" from Thoroughly Modern Millie
"The Life of the Party" from The Wild Party
"Show Off" from The Drowsy Chaperone
"Diva's Lament" from Spamalot
"Whispering" from Spring Awakening (ballad)
"Mix Tape" from Avenue Q
"Cock-eyed Optimist" from ...?

Hope I helped and good luck!

NEVER sing pops songs for a theatrical audition. First, they tend to be written expressly for a specific singer's voice - not yours. Second, pop never sounds the same with just a piano underneath it. Third, you're auditioning for theatre people, why not sing what they like?
"Nobody Does It Like Me" (Seesaw) is a strong alto song for an up-tune.
A friend of mine always sings the classic "Blue Moon" for her ballad.

Time to say Goodbye/Con Te Partiro- by Sarah Brightmand/Andera Boccelli

Big Spender from Sweet Charity- (Try the Shirley Bassey version)

Good Luck- You will do brilliantly!
