Posted: 2/2/05 at 4:43pmI hate when people post these kinds of questions... but now I have one! I have an audition for Pippin was was told specific measures to prepare from "Corner of the Sky," but was also asked to prepare 16 bars of a song not from the show. The director said to try to find a song in the style of "Extraordinary." Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks! :)

Not really tough to find.
How about Tonight at Eight from She Loves Me
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 11:41pmhow about "What More Do I Need?" from Saturday Night. This Sondheim show is not that well known, but the song is known for being heart felt and still funny. It's a reall show stopper! Updated On: 2/2/05 at 11:41 PM

Posted: 2/4/05 at 11:40pm"Purpose" from Avenue Q. Someone mentioned it a while ago as an alternative to "Corner of the Sky" and it might fit the same voice part?
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.
