I *might* be auditioning for Camelot this summer. If Camelot is my show, I want to audition for Guenevare. Is "Show Me" a good song for the audition? If not, what is?

That would be a decent audition song. Most of Eliza's songs along with most songs from Julie Andrews parts would be good as they're mostly the same keys. As are Nellie's songs from South Pacific or most lead female parts from Rodgers and Hammerstein.


"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I suppose you're right that most of Nellie's songs aren't exactly in the same keys. I realized my mistake after I posted, but still most singers who can sing in Nellie's range should be able to sing the other roles unless they don't have a lot of range.

Maybe checkout something from Gigi
