hey..i'm pretty new here but i was wondering if anyone had advice for me:
i'm going to be auditioning for the Wizard of Oz and my DREAM role is Wicked Witch of the West.
however, i'm blonde, blue eyed, tall, and a soprano..i can hit some mezzo or (on a REALLY special day) alto stuff...
can anyone recommend a song that might work well for me?
thank you so much!

Here's an interesting thought: Why doesn't the Wicked Witch of the West have a SONG? All the other characters do!

i'd like to be the Wicked Witch of the West..and in this version of the stage play, she sings part of the Jititerbug and (maybe) another song

There needs to be a complete song for WWOTW.

It would be added to the sequence where she attempts to remove Dorothy's shoes... a real song of menace... then heading into the dark reprise of Over the Rainbow (which Judy Garland sang in the outtakes from the movie)

A reprise of Over the Rainbow in a minor key would be interesting for the Witch.

i agree that she needs a song for herself...
but can anyone think of a song for ME to audition with that could get me the part..or at least help me along?
thank you all!

When I did The Wizard of Oz, the witch didn't sing at all, so I think you're acting audition will be much more important. You might want to try to sing a character song, something that shows you can act, and play against type. I can't think of anything off hand, but hopefully that's a start.

Because, you know, 'The Wizard of Oz' is one rewrite away from being REALLY successful.
