Question: Music Man audition songs!?
I'm auditioning for the Music Man, and I haven't picked a song yet!.!.!.I'm thinking of "Jimmy" from Thoroughly Modern Millie or "Bride's Lament" from Drowsy Chaperone!.!.!.just because they're fun and they fit my voice (soprano--mix/lyrical)!.!.!.!.!.!. would those be good choices!? If not, what are other ideas!?
also, I'm not auditioning for a specific role, since I'm not old enough to play Marian (I'm 18) but not a good enough dancer to play Zaneeta!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You are definitely on the right track with the type of songs you are considering, however I would not recommend "Bride's Lament" because casting directors don't like it when you audition with a song from a musical currently playing on Broadway!. Jimmy is a good choice if you are comfortable with it, and here are a few other songs you may want to consider:

"Out Of My Dreams" -Oklahoma
"Follow The Rainbow" -Finnian's Rainbow
"It Might As Well Be Spring" -State Fair
"Far From The Home I Love" -Fiddler On The RoofWww@QuestionHome@Com

There are a couple directions you could go with this!. Here are 2 suggestions, although some of the others suggested would al so be good!

"I Know Now" - 42nd Street
"The Wizard and I" - WickedWww@QuestionHome@Com

But i would go along with the girl above me!
