Jesus Christ Superstar Audition

I need some help - I'm going for either Judas or Jesus.
I have a very wide range that suits a lot of different types of music. Any suggestions? This is kind of a toughie for me.

Anyone else?

"I'm a Sensation" from Tommy, who is actually portrayed as a Christ-type figure.

Lost in the Wilderness from Children of Eden is amazing, has a wide range and is from a biblical show.

Close every door from Joseph is good, is biblical, and a Webber show as well

A World Without You from Children of Eden is amazing as well

Hope I helped

Yeah, I would avoid anything from RENT, unless absolutely necessary.

Songs from Tommy, BatBoy, and Children of Eden are all excellent ideas.

As for Joseph, nothing really in that score comes even close to the range that Jesus or Judas has to sing, so if I were going for those roles, I would stay away.

Also, singing something from the score is not a bad idea either. I used to be of the school of thought that you couldn't sing anything from the show, but on occasion, I have, and gotten callbacks. It can't hurt. Especially if you have one of the songs already in your repetoire.

"Pity the Child" from Chess is also an excellent idea.....especially if you are going Judas, and you can sing that song in your sleep. DON'T use it unless you have practiced it.

I was reccomended to sing a song from the show at an audition for 'Hairspray'. That's what the better half of the people did, but if you want to stick out do something else.

Noway, didn't expect to. Just wanted to know how a real audition went. I was only fourteen when I went. I just did it for fun, met a lot of cool people doing it.

"Angry Inch" from Hedwig.
