Can anyone recommend a song for me to sing at a Fiddler on the Roof audition? I'm just going for a chorus part. Thanks!

My dear Nina, I strongly suggest "Matchmaker." It doesn't require a huge range. But if you can soulfully and heartily sing the song without a sound system backing you up, you have to win the audition!

Sing from the diaphragm!

Mozel!

NEVER sing anything from the show unless you are asked to by the director.

Keep the song simple, as there really isn't any DIFFICULT singing in Fiddler.

How about "Maybe" from Annie, (just don't do 'Tomorrow') or "Never Never Land" from Peter Pan.

AHHH! Then as an ALTERNATIVE, please sing one of my favorite songs, "Easy Come. Easy Go." An old song that was the title instrumental and sung in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"

It has a bit of range. Lovely, gentle, bittersweet ballad that reflected the time setting of the movie: the great depression.

Mozel!
