I need help picking an audition song for a musical. Any helpers?

Okay, so I need help picking out an audition song. This is the first time I’ve done an audition like this, where you pick out your own song for a musical. I’d like to audition for Gertrude McFuzz from Seussical, but I have a serious lack of knowing songs that are similar to songs from that show in Gertrude’s range. Anybody know of any?

    You could try "I Speak Six Languages" from 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. I'm not completely familiar with Seussical, but from what I understand, Gertrude is quite a character. So you might want to do a song that's not only in the range, but something that shows off a bit of acting chops with it. For example, "Woe Is Me", also from Putnam County Spelling Bee or "My New Philosophy" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. There are also songs like "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors or "Adelaide's Lament" from Guys and Dolls, both of which are slower but definitely good acting pieces.

    I hope this helps, and break a leg in your audition!

    you be attentive to, for such issues, i'm a singer and for auditions, I in many cases %. songs that exhibit the variety of vocals I certainly have. while you're an alto, %. possibly "The residing years" or "Love me" by potential of Collin Raye. while you're a soprano, %. musical songs! those severe notes they hit are particular to attain you a 10! %. perhaps "my in basic terms risk" in forbidden city, "castle on a cloud" les miserables or the refrain of "day after today" by potential of annie the musical. wish that helps! ordinarily, this would be a school musical. you have gotta seem reliable for the duration of the auditions so %. an outfit that expresses the track's innermost which potential and thoughts. be sure you seem constructive and supply the judges your strut degree veneer. destroy a leg!
