Audition song for Mary Poppins?!?!

Hi! I would suggest something that has a similar lullaby feel to it - like "Goodnight My Someone" (from Music Man) or "Tender Shepherd" or "Never Never Land" (both from Peter Pan). Good luck!

Rather than limit yourself by selecting a song that shows you in a particular character light, would it not be better to sing a song that shows off your full vocal and acting through song ability?

If you love the show so much, then being a part of it is better than limiting your chances by singing a song that potentially hinders your true performance potential being displayed.

It should also be said that given the character age of the Bird Woman, would you be considered by a director for such a role?

However, if you want them to see you in that light, then why not be bold and actually go all out and convince them that you are able to play that role by singing 'Feed The Birds' in character?

You are given your tender years playing against type. So your choice of song, if not Feed the Birds, needs to show your ability to convincingly play older and wholly against type.

Even if they don't say "Don't sing a song from the show.". NEVER sing a song from the show you're audtioning for. That's a big no-no.
