I have an audition this month for a reading of a new musical. They are looking for and Ashlee Simpson or Gwen Stefanie type charecter with a rock belt(which I have dont worry). I was just wondering if you had any suggestions for uptempo rock songs.

I am a mezzo soprano belt! I can sing defying gravity and all of the songs in Wicked for Elphaba without straining, and my usual audition songs are "Home" from B&TB and "My Strongest Suit" From Aida and "I know the truth" From Aida. But they specifically asked for no musical theatre.

Kate from MTC's "Wild Party."
"City of Angels" I don't know the character names, but I know there are some sultry songs in that show.
Cathy from "The Last 5 Years"
I agree with "My Stongest Suit" from "Aida", or "I Know the Truth"

Break a leg!

Let me get this right: you're auditioning for a new musical but you're not allowed to audition with ANY musical theatre material? These people sound like idiots.

Well, when you're auditioning for "RENT" they don't let you sing any theatre songs because it's an "upbeat show", not so much a classical theatre type show- you know?

Maybe Fallin' by Alicia Keyes?
