Hey Everyone!
I am starting a website/information thing for people who just don't know what to sing at auditions for musicals. I have ideas already but I thought it would be a great idea to ask you guys on here for some help because you all seem very knowledgeable about musicals and such!
So what I'm going to do it list musicals (with certain characters) and if you can list some female and male songs for whatever you've used or think will work for auditions, I would greatly appreciate any help you can give.
List as many as you can!

Thanks!!!!!!!

This already exists as part of "So you want to tread the boards" - 30 odd pages of recommended (and not overdone) audition songs, a chapter that lists all current overdone audition songs, as well as a section on what to sing for certain types of characters and why. Available on www.amazon.co.uk Also, www.musicaltheatreaudition.com has a list, however I personally think that most of the songs they recommend are overdone. They do have quite a comprehensive page though of musicals, characters and songs sung in the show. Check it out...
