i read that in the "fake book" series they simplify the song so many people can play them. Is it ok to use this sheet music in auditions?

no because most fake book have the BIG notes and most piano players hate that.

But then again, some don't. The Ultimate Broadway Fake Book, for example.

I don't know. Singing from "fake books" and collections make me feel...naughty!

Eh. I don't love fake books, because it's only one line of music and they have to pretty much make up an accompaniment. Not fun.

Any self-respecting accompanist would be disgusted and possibly refuse to play from a fake book. Someone asked that question during a talk-back at NFAA and the pianist was like "...don't ever do that."

Fake books are create for tinkering on the piano, but, in order for full accompaniment, one must be able to play by chords. This is extra hassle for your accompanist, so, it's definitely not worth the risk. Buy the sheet music, or, if you would rather not and can play the chords, type up a line of piano in Finale Notepad or the like.
