So I'm auditioning for Seussical and High School Musical 2 soon. HSM2 is asking for a contemporary pop song, a musical theatre song in the style of HSM, or a song from any HSM film.
Seussical asks for a song in the style of the show. Now I may be far-fetched in this selection, but I'm gravitating towards using "Beethoven Day" for both auditions, trying it out at Seussical and using it again for HSM2.
Originally I wanted to use a Backstreet Boys song (most likely "I Want It That Way") for the HSM2 audition, since it's contemporary pop in my range and I felt it was suitable enough.
I know, it's HSM2 and it's REALLY a 180 for me, but it's for a professional theatre, so anything to get my foot in the door.
So anywho, I think "Beethoven Day" would be a good choice for both, it's in my range, it's quirky and cute for Seussical, and nerdy-student like for HSM2, which I'd most likely be a Brainiac type, or whatever. Unless I lose 10 lbs and get fit to play a jock in a month and a half!
Thoughts?

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)
