I have auditions for Company in 2 weeks. Best case scenario, I'd like to be Amy, with Marta a close second. Definitely an alto/belter. Any great suggestions?

Oh, and of the other wives, which would be fun to play? I saw the show about 5 years ago and the details are a bit fuzzy.

I've always thought "What More Do I Need" was a good audition choice if you'd like to sing "Another Hundred People".

I don't think I'm familiar with that one...is there another similar piece you can think of?

I'm not sure what you're familiar with then...?

If you want to hear What More Do I Need:

I'd recommend Andrea Burns' rendition above the others.

There's also a SchmooTube of Ann Hathaway singing it.

P.S. Why are you asking for suggestions if you will only do a song you're already familiar with?

Actually, I was surprised when I wasn't aware of the song. I'm usually the dork who can rattle off the obscure ones. I will have to look it up.

It's not that I wouldn't consider singing it. I'm just looking for a multitude of suggestions.

What about the middle section of "What Do People Do" from Brownstone for Amy? I think that's a perfect match too.
