42nd Street Audition is finally here... - 2006/11/16 23:25...and thanks to the Dames at Sea issues, I have no audition song. Here's the skinny. I'm an alto trying out for Dorothy specifically but any part, really. Peggy's out because of politics, plus I'm not a soprano.
I really want a song that shows off my lower range, sticking to the normal audition song issues (not on B'way, etc.). I could sing "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" from Grease, since that's my general backup song, as well as "I Can Hear the Bells" from Hairspray. I know it's a high school audition and the song choice doesn't have to be perfect (at least 2 or 3 people sang "On My Own" last year -- it was painful).
I'm in the process of rescanning the "Shows" page but if anyone can beat me to it, I'll be forever grateful!!Shelby Jr. Moderator

Re:42nd Street Audition is finally here... - 2006/11/17 05:52To show off your low range- "Why Can't you Behave" from Kiss me Kate can be very nice, if you can find it in a low key. Between the two you mentioned, I think that "There are Worse Things" would be better- Hairspray might be a little too contemporary.
Good Luck on your audition!

I was searching the data base and was looking at some songs from Babes In Arms, Anything Goes, The Boys From Syracuse, etc. Anyone have a favorite for altos from those? So far, Anything Goes is looking like a front runner. I don't have any music from any of the shows yet. Which would be the best?Shelby Jr. Moderator
