well i haven't really heard anything from the show but i knnow about it and i would say if u want to sing something from the show pick a song that shows off ur vocal range that u know u can do well, and if not then i would A Change in Me frome Beauty and the Beast or Diva's Lament from Spamalot both are amazing songs and would show off your vocal range

What role are you going for?

My suggestion would be to look at other Cole Porter Musicals... For instance, "Anything Goes". Stick to the time period of KMK... totally not Spamalot or B&TB.. Look What Happened to Mabel from Mack & Mabel could work, I'm Just A Girl Who Cant Say No From Oklahoma, And If you have to come to the contemp route, since these songs sounds like something older...show off from Drowsy would also be great and the END of Gimme Gimme from Millie. If you were auditioning for Lili, i'd say sing RAUNCHY from 110 in the shade.

Most definitely something Cole Porter or at least from the period (no later than 1965). Drowsy and Millie are so overdone, as is Can't say no - would avoid. Spamalot and BATB are totally wrong. Raunchy might work. Depends on your vocal range, tone, character you are going for etc etc.

If you are going up for Lili then you've got to show your range. It is a major soprano role. Think music AND lyrics.

All other roles, think lyrics first, then music.

definately think Reno Sweeney then..Even A little Brains a little talent from Damn Yankees could work if you have it really up to tempo.
