I don't know if this is an alto/sop song, but I love "I still believe" from miss siegon

depending on the flexibility (tone-wise) of the high soprano's voice, you could do "in his eyes" from J&H -- it's pretty popular.

if you have the option of adding a third girl, you could do an ALW trio that has "love changes everything" (high sop.), "i don't know how to love him" (mezzo), and "unexpected song" (mezzo/sop with good low notes)

does it have to be musical theatre? if you're interested in doing a little opera (don't get freaked out by it...) there's the flower duet from Lakme that is gorgeous.

i'll think a little more on this....

"The Movies" Annie
"Loathing" Wicked

please don't do a duet from wicked.

i've seen the show, and i enjoyed it. but considering the amount of suggestions you hve gotten on this thread alone, i BEG you to broaden your MT repertoire and branch out. it's a fun show, but broadway doesn't end with wicked.

AND, if it's a song from a show you haven't heard of or learned anything about, it's an opportunity to get to know a new show that may become one of your favorites.

the thread about the same exact thing!!!

ahh thank you so much-- keep them coming!

ps-
nothing from wicked or rent please.
pps-
i would love to do "some things are meant to be" from little women and "who will love me as i am" from side show but these 2 girls have gone on to the international thespian conference with those songs for the part 2 years, and everyone's heard them a million times haha..
and also, this is a bit dumb, is the movie version and show version of "a boy like that, i have a love" from west side story different? because i was looking into doing that, but anita & maria don't sing together until the very end, so it was if-y..

anyway, thanks again and like i said KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING!! <3

"in his eyes" from jekyll and hyde! that is an amazing song! you should definately look into that song!

ok sorry for the Wicked suggestions I was having a brain fart, I forgot how anti wicked most people are, which is fine, I understand. Im not an uber wicked fan, those are just what came to mind. Sorry

"He's the Wiz" from the wiz is supposed to be a solo, but there are alot of fun background vocals to that song one of you could sing back up

Hi there,
I would also suggest
"I've been here before," from CLOSER THAN EVER,
its got a great Sop/Alto part.
There is the famous "A Boy Like That/I have a love"
from WEST SIDE STORY.
"How the Other Half Lives" from MILLIE.
"Funny" from MY FAVORITE YEAR which is a little more like a scene
"Every Day A Little Death," from A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
I think there is also a song from FLOYD COLLINS
Good Luck! Hope this helps, let us know what you decide to pick!

"I Don't Know His Name" from She Loves Me

Posted: 3/25/06 at 8:33am

there's also "i known him so well" from chess, but it really doesn't go that high.

Love Me as I Am from Sideshow

Absolutely YES to "I've been here before," and "Everyday a Little Death." These are fantastic songs. The song from Floyd Collins is called "Lucky" and it's also a favorite of mine.
