"He Had Refinement" from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

PLEASE HELP ME!!!:(

"I Just Wanna Dance" from Jerry Springer the Opera. Skip to the second half of the video to see her sing it. Also (sorry to be that person), I've found the best way to find good sheet music for myself is to just do my research. The internet is great, and if you look hard enough, you can find just about any song for any type. Best of luck! :)

What about one of the showgirl numbers from Chicago? Unfortunately, without looking them up, I can't think which one. However, the whole production has a "showgirl" feel, even when it's not Roxy and her partner-in-crime (my memory is REALLY failing me tonight) doing the singing. "He Had it Coming" sounds like it's a bunch of showgirls singing, but there's a lot of soliloquizing in the middle of the song. There HAS to be something from Chicago.
Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

Dance Ten, Looks Three - A Chorus Line

Also look at Sweet Charity

"Thanks! I know I just suck at researching online I NEVER get what I want. But your great!"

Well, there's this crazy place where they house important information. The information stored there is usually in a physical form, commonly referred to as a "book." A good one will have an extensive collection of scores and scripts. You can even check these materials out for free. I suggest going to one and spending some time there.

Sorry couldn't resist. I don't mean to be snarky, and I like to help recommend material, but a large quantity on the musical theatre cannon (even in this day and age) isn't available online. Also, in order to give a good audition you are going to need to read the script of the show anyway.

What about "always true to you in my fashion" from Kiss me, Kate. That's a fun song with lots of show-off potential.
