What is a good audition song for the role of Louise in Gypsy?
I'm going to be auditioning for the show in January and need some ideas. Also, what would you say needs to be Louise's strongest area? My guess would be the acting since she is supposed to be "the untalented one" who becomes a striptease star due to her charisma -- I would think it would be acting, singing, dancing in that order.

Eh, I disagree. Having understudied that role, I would never underestimate the singing in it. It's HARD sometimes.
As for a good audition song, I would pick something from around the period. If you could pull off "Anything Goes"... I'd reccomend that...
Personally, I did "I Only Have Eyes For You" from 42nd Street... I also strongly reccomend that one.

Posted: 11/18/06 at 1:37pmI've played Louise before and I am doing the show right now in NYC as a Hollywood Blonde. I sang "Perfect Relationship" for my audition recently for a blonde.. for Gypsy I agree. Sing something from "Anything Goes" or "About A Quarter To Nine" from 42nd Street is another good one.
