Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
if you're looking for a good ballad!.!.or any kind of audition song!.!. please don't do anything from a disney inspired show!. it's really hokey!. and yes, wicked is overdone!.
do something that has meaning and power - like a sondheim!.
Not While I'm Around from Sweeney Todd (sop or ten) or Being Alive from Company (sop, alt, ten) are two of my favorites to sing!.

then there's also:
A Bit Of Earth (The Secret Garden)- sop or ten
If I Loved You (Carousel)- sop
Till There Was You (Music Man)-sop/mezzo

I personally don't like till there was you that much, but it's cute and short!. if you have a pretty big range!.!. don't choose this song!.!. pick any of the others!.

good luck!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

well anastasia is technically not a musical theatre song, but I have really never heard it at recent auditions!. I agree, Wicked is sooo overdone these days!. I think you are safe going with anything from Anastasia!. I love that movie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both Anastasia and Wicked are NOT overdone in any way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
