Im a high soprano and im able to project my voice!.
I also don't know the play at all!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Cinderella is the biggest soprano part in the show - the Baker's Wife, the Witch and Little Red are all mezzos rather than sopranos!. Rapunzel is also a soprano!. Cinderella is a lovely part and she gets the great song "On The Steps of the Palace"!. I'd suggest using "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" from Sweeney Todd, or "Lovely" from A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum as an audition song - stick with Sondheim!. You could also use "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story (Sondheim wrote the lyrics) which is a lovely soprano song!. Track down the DVD of the original Broadway production (with Bernadette Peters as the Witch) and have a look at it - it's wonderful!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Into the Woods is a great show!. If you are a a high soprano I would suggest you audition for these roles!.

Witch
Cinderella
Baker's Wife
Little Red Riding Hood

I would suggest Cinderella as first choice, witch second, Baker's wife third and Little Red fourth!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Differently Cinderella!. She's a Soprano one of the leads!. Its a very lovely musical! I'm sure you'll love it!

Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
