Newsies Audition Song Suggestion?#1

Posted: 6/19/18 at 5:18pm

I'm looking for an uptempo, 16-bar cut female song to sing for a local Newsies audition. So far I've considered 'Safer' from First Date and 'Shine Like the Sun' from 9 to 5. I'm a soprano but not an overly strong belter unfortunately, and that's been limiting my options. I welcome any and all input or suggestions!

I'm not good on suggestions, but both of yours are too contemporary, IMO.  Think about the time period of the show, then look for another show in a similar period.  EdEval suggestion is good.  Or A Trip to the Library from She Loves Me, as well.
