I have an audition for "Anything Goes". I need a great belting song. Please suggest. I have already thought of Defying Gravity and Waiting for Life.

Do not sing either of those songs. Pick something in the vein of the show.

You're a guy, right?

Which part do you want?

Maybe something else by Cole Porter from a different show. Definitely go for something by a classic composer like Porter, as opposed to contemporary.

I like "I Want to Go to Hollywood" from Grand Hotel. Never saw that or Anything Goes, so I don't know if that is a good choice, but for some reason, it was one of the first ones I thought of.

"Maybe something else by Cole Porter from a different show."

That was going to be my suggestion as well. He has quite an expansive canon of material.

Thanks for the advice. I have also been looking at "I hate men" and " So in love". I'm a women and going for the part of Reno.

I hate men is perfect- a belt song that is also funny.

I Got Rhythm might work too, but I'm sure it's done a lot.

What about "Strike Up The Band" from Girl Crazy?
