Question: What song should my brother sing for a musical audition!?
He is a teenager, tenor-bass, and likes uptempo songs!. The song should preferably be from a Broadway musical!. Nothing too flamboyant--NO LEGALLY BLONDE!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm biased toward any songs from the musical Jekyll & Hyde - it's music is so haunting and beautiful!. Check out "lost in the darkness" and "this is the moment!." They are both show-stopping tunes that aren't terribly overused in auditions, so he'll be original

What show is he auditioning for!? That makes all the difference!. He should sing something by the same composer, just from a different show!. Or, something from a show that was written around the same time!. That shows that he's comfortable with that genre!. If none of that is available, or he can't find something that he likes, he should sing something that shows off his voice the best!. They want to know what he is capable of!Www@QuestionHome@Com
