Audition Song Advise

Next month I'm auditioning for two community productions (different companies), Oklahoma and Into the Woods. I'm more of a dancer than a singer or actor (serious ballet training) so I’m hoping for dream-sequence Laurie in Oklahoma. Into the Woods is a bit of a stretch since it’s so vocally demanding, but I’m 16 and 5', so I think I should try for Little Red Riding Hood (I’m pretty sure it matches vocally, and the casting notice said 10-16). I was thinking of singing the Trolley Song from Meet Me in St. Louis for both shows, since I know it really well and would be comfortable with it. Would this song be appropriate or not?

Oklahoma yes.
Into the Woods not so much.

Little Red actually has to do a lot of singing. More in the mix of a mezzo-soprano nasal range. What other songs do you normally sing for auditions? Let's think of something to help!

Into the Woods-songs are a bit more...classic for lack of a better term than the trolley song showcases.
Maybe...the Girl I Mean to Be from Secret Garden? Or Once Upon A December from Anastasia the movie?
