Click here to see the profile of this user 		college audition songs - 2008/04/30 03:06 so I'm thinking "The Beauty Is" from the Light in the Piazza and "Look at Me Now" from The Wild Party for my MT program audtion songs next year. Any downsides to these choices? Besides the ridiculous difficulty level of "The Beauty Is"'s accomaniment?

You want one classic MT song in there and one that is really uptempo/character to contrast a good all in one ballad. Look at some older stuff....

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:college audition songs - 2008/04/30 08:32 I agree with above. I didn't have an MT audition, but for the music department I did Giants in the Sky and then a german piece (Verborgenheit, if you are terribly interested). A classical/uptempo is a very easy contrast. I'm also currently preparing "Lost in the Wilderness"/"Johanna" Currently Auditioning for: Narnia

Currently involved with: Nothing...

You could keep "Look at Me Now" and then choose a more classic soprano ballad. Think Rodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, or even Gershwin. Maybe

"Love, Look Away" from Flower Drum Song
"I Have Dreamed" from The King and I
"My White Knight" from The Music Man

You know, stuff like that. Break a leg!
