Golden Age Musical Audition Song

Posted: 11/4/12 at 7:49pm

Hello folks,

I know I don't post often, so please don't hate me for randomly asking this question.

But, I am going to be auditioning for West Side Story soon and they are asking for 16 bars from a Golden Age musical. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for songs that might be good to use for this audition that would work for a high Tenor??

Thank you thank you!

It Must Be So - Candide.

Rare enough that probably no-one else will do it but also by Leonard Bernstein and in a similar part of the voice to some of the singing in West Side Story.

These great songs that remind me of West Side Story in setting and tone (not sure of range though)

Lonely House - Street Scene
Night Song- Golden Boy
I Wish It So - Juno

If I hadn't already loved you, henrik, your allusion to a song from STREET SCENE would have left me smitten.

To the OP, I think you're safer with songs from before 1960. Though shows like HOW TO SUCCEED and PIPPIN may seem "Golden Age" to us now, they are also indicative of the transition into later sounds.
