I'm auditioning for Arpad in She Loves Me and I can't think of a good audition song. Does anyone have any suggestions?

"Try Me" should suffice.

I'd love to sing that but I can't sing anything from the show :/

I think "I Believe" from The Book Of Mormon should be a good choice for that. It needs similar emotions, and vocal range as "Try Me".

bmelverson13 - You need to select a song that shows off your voice and one that you are comfortable singing.  Select a song that is similar in style to the She Loves Me score.  She Loves Me is a romantic musical.  Look at Gershwin, Kern, Rodgers and Hart.

She Loves Me is show that does not require the actors to belt.  "I Believe" is a misguided choice.

any cheerful rousing high energy male midcentury song that shows the character to be excited and optimistic, such as:

All I Need Now is the Girl  GYPSY

the title song of HOW TO SUCCEED

Fireworks DO RE MI

Cornelius's solo from Put On Your Sunday Clothes HELLO DOLLY

Miracle of Miracles  FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

and, though it's a woman's song, All I Need is One Good Break FLORA THE RED MENACE
