Question: I need a good Broadway song!!?
Hey! I need a good Broadway song for my Wizard of Oz audition! I don't want to sing anything from the show and I need to show off my range!. I can sing alto-soprano 1!. I'm a soprano 2!. Please help before September 10! Thanx!! Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Nothing from Wicked!. Nothing from RENT!. Nothing from Phantom of the Opera!. Nothing from Hairspray!. They're all extremely, extremely overdone as well as not particularly appropriate for the show as they're in completely different style and will not prove to the director/musical director that you can sing in the style necessary for the show!. I'd advise finding another Harold Arlen song (look him up on Wikipedia, he wrote lots of lovely songs) as he's the composer of the Wizard of Oz so the style will be exactly what you want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Download songs from Kiss Me Kate!. There are a variety of fun songs for male and female!. If you are a female a great song is, "Always True To You" and if you're a male, Where is the life I late led!?"

Both of these songs are not too popular and not too new so they should be safe!. Kiss me Kate is a lovely Cole Porter musical and everything he touches is close to genius!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

What part are you trying out for!? How old are you!? What's your gender!? No!.!.!. I am not an online stalker, these are all just important factors when deciding your audition song!.

also, I know all these other people who have answered you are just trying to be helpful!.!.!. but POPULAR audition song DOES NOT equal GOOD audition song!
