Have good posture with your shoulders back and your tummy in. Open your mouth wide to sing. Smile and look happy...Try to BE happy. The song is about something you've been excitedly anticipating. Without looking like you're having a seizure, sing with enthusiasm.
Dress casually but neatly with your hair clean and brushed and only a little makeup, if any. The musical is set at the turn of the last century, a very positive-thinking and well-scrubbed era (at least that's how it is remembered).
Most importantly, be on pitch and remember the words.

P.S. Break a leg, Kiddo (traditional theater wish for good luck).

Well you should wear a long sleve shirt knee high socks and blue jeans!!!and you should use a song i bet you have a beutiful voice!!!
