70 Actors Share Their Audition Songs


"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Do all these actors bring their own pianist? Some of this material seems a bit ambitious to hand to an untried pianist. And I realize that once you've been on a few NYC auditions, you get to know the piano players, but the last thing you want on an audition is a pianist struggling with difficult material.


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

The audition accompanists in NYC can play anything and everything. They've most likely played every song that will ever be brought in. There's nothing on that list that they shouldn't already be familiar with.
