No I'm not asking for an audition song I have a question about them. I've seen clips of Broadway performers being asked what type of songs they use for auditions and which ones are the "lucky" ones and they usually don't mention anything actually from Broadway. I forgot who it was that said usually in doubt he sticks with Billy Joel. Is this the norm to audition with "everyday" songs?

It depends on the audition, but often you'll be asked to either prepare ( __ Bars) of a specific genre, or a song in the stylings of the show you're auditioning for.
