Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Broadway songs for altoQuestion: Broadway songs for alto I am preparing to audition for my school's musical this upcoming fall, and need a song to audition with!.

"I Cain't Say No" from Oklahoma is a very character piece, upbeat and silly!. "Someone Like You" from Jekyll & Hyde is absolutely beautiful!. "Holding Out For a Hero" from Footloose is a pretty good belt song!. "On My Own" from Les Miserables is another beautiful one for an alto!. If you find a lead female that is an alto, you could sing any of their songs, such as Elphaba from Wicked or Aida from Aida!. I would suggest picking something that is a similar style as the music in whatever musical you are trying out for!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I'm not entirely sure because I never had a lot of exposure to vocal ranges but Mama Who Bore Me, from Spring Awakening gets pretty low for a woman singing, you could check that out!. The Song of Purple Summer, from the same show, has a beautiful alto part!. It was a group number originally, but I'd bet if you just got a songbook you'd be OK!. If you whipped Purple Summer out at a school audition you'd be golden!. That show only won eleven Tony's!. =/Www@QuestionHome@Com Try one of these: Little Lamb from Gypsy Worst Pies in London from Sweeney Todd When You're Good to Mama from Chicago A Little Brains, A Little Talent from Damn Yankees There's a Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q My New Philosophy from You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown Stepsisters' Lament from R&H's Cinderella What I Did For Love from A Chorus Line Somewhere That's Green from Little Shop of Horrors Hope that helps a little!
