Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have been to tons of auditions and I sing different songs from Wicked based on the play I'm auditioning for!. If you are auditioning for a play that is very upbeat and happy and fun, you should sing something like Popular, What is this Feeling!?, or Defying Gravity!. But some voice lesson teachers don't like their students to sing Wicked songs because so many other people do!. So if I were you, I would go with something less well, popular!. You might want to sing a song from a show off-Broadway!. That way, it is less likely that others will sing the same thing!.

Here is where you can find a list of some off-Broadway songs that you can easily choose 16 bars out of based on your voice (scroll down the list for some songs)!. You can also purchase the sheet music on this website if you have an accompanist!.

Grease is a fun musical!.!.!. You could do Summer Nights or We'll Always Be Together or You're The One That I Want

I actually like Hairspray, "I Can Hear The Bells" is goofy and fun

Another song that I like is "I Wanna Grow Old With You" from The Wedding Singer!. I'm not sure what the stage version sounds like, but the version Adam Sandler sings in the movie is so funny but so sweet, it makes you giggle and tear up at the same time (well, maybe not tear up!.!.!. that may be just me, but I cried during Monster's Inc!.!.!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

One thing NEVER EVER EVER EVER sing anything form Les mis, Wicked, Hairspray, RENT, avenue Q, guys and dolls, or HSM!. The director has probably heard the songs so many times that they wil probably want to punch you!.

I would be helpful to know your range, too!.

"It's Possibel" from Seussical would be good!.
"show off" from the drowsy Chaperone might be ok!. !.!.

Bethyboo has some good suggestions, too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ummm well i kinda disagree with everyone, try one of four songs songs, popular from wicked, out tonight from rent, you can't stop the beat from hairspray and as much i think it's probably one of the stupidest musicals ever, omigod you guys from legallly blondeWww@QuestionHome@Com

Nothing Wicked, Hairspray, or High School Musical!. They are really overdone!.!.


How about "I enjoy being a Girl!."

Or Stepsisters Lament!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Taylor the Latte Boy is a really fun song!.
Climbing Uphill or I Can Do Better Than That form the Last Five Years are both upbeat and fun!.
For a younger role, try I Know Things Now from Into The Woods!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nothing from High School Musical, Wicked, or Hairspray (like the first poster said) and nothing from Annie or Oliver!. Try Spamalot that was a fun musical!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mabey try all that Jazz from chicago, or try Razzle Dazzle also form Chicago don't do any thing from Wicked or rent because the tempos are not good for auditions, also look at some old school musicals for help (music man, show boat )Www@QuestionHome@Com
