Audition question....

I try to tell myself that the posters on BWW aren't really as young as some say, but wow. Oliver. Ok...

When I was your age I used Round-Shouldered Man from The Secret Garden. It's charming, tells a little story, and covers a nice range for the unchanged male voice.

Yes, as a matter of fact. One of my favorites. Also coincidentally lines up with one of my favorite movie speeches (Mikey's "it's our time down here" bit from Goonies).

I love that MINNIE'S BOYS score. Funny, in the other thread, I almost suggested "Alone in the Universe" but was afraid it was too poppy. It depends on how the Musical Director and Director "hear" their Oliver singing, I guess. As a former Oliver, it's cool to think about what songs fit his "type" now....I also love "Never Never Land", and there's a lot of Disney songs that would work, including the similar "Second Star to the Right"....

TheatreFreak has been my screen name since I was like.... 8 so I kinda like to stick with it. But yeah I am young guys, but I assure you that I am really mature for my age and I absolutely live, sleep, and breathe theatre.

as for the songs, I kinda like the idea of using Alone in the Universe from Seussical. Any more suggestions?

do you work with a voice teacher? if you do, they may be able to help you develop "Universe" with both a contemporary B'way sound and a more pure legit sound...I guess the role could work with either take on the vocals.

I've never heard Oliver (the role) sung with the kind of sound that typical JoJo's use, but I guess it could be...depends on what the show's director and musical director have in mind.
