What you audition with is not nearly as important as establishing a character. I knew someone who recited a near-nonsense poem called "Toadsuckers" while accompanying herself on the spoons, but she got their attention every time.
The Baker's Wife played well is a lead role. Played not so well it fades into the ensemble. Its not for nix that Joanna Gleason won a Tony as a lead in the original and Bernadette Peters wasn't nominated.
The Baker's Wife is knowing, wry, not without humor and observant.
Take the stage.
