My friend is auditioning for a ton of schools in spring and shes in need of a high belt song and I have run completely out of ideas.. Any ideas would be super.
Ain't It Good - Children Of Eden Wild Party - The WIld Party (Lippa) Buenos Aires - Evita Shoeless Joe - Damn Yankees Six Months (Outta Every Year) - Damn Yankees The Life of the Party - The Wild Party (Lippa) She Loves to Hear The Music - The Boy From Oz (OBC)
"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."
having just sat through auditions where we asked to hear high belt I would not recommend The Wild Party...EVERY ONE did it. Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm is a good suggustion. Always True To You from Kiss Me Kate, Kander and Ebb stuff, and anything from Funny Girl (Coronet Man especially) are good for more classic stuff. For new music theater I'd look into Hello Again and shy away from Jason Robert Brown. And for pop I personally really like The Wiz, Purlie, We Will Rock You, and Footloose (the last two are totally cheesey, b¨t i love them :)
God, just please make sure this girl actually HAS a high belt. Nothing worse than a girl screaming flat notes at the top of her lungs, or reaching a really powerful point in the song and going into a really bad, forced head voice...
