Hi! I'm auditioning for the Leading Player in Pippin - I'm deciding between the following songs:

• "That'll Show Him" - ...Forum
• "All Falls Down" - Chaplin - can pull out riffs and vocal chops
• "Show Off" - Drowsy Chaperone
• "Wilkommen" - Cabaret
• "All That Jazz" - Chicago
• "Roxie" - Chicago
• "If I Loved You" - Carousel, probably not the vibe but this is one of my go-to's
• "Poor Unfortunate Souls" - The Little Mermaid
• "Stay With Me" - Into the Woods
• "Children Will Listen" - Into the Woods

For context, I'm a nonbinary baritenor with contralto falsetto range (I can comfortably, effectively sing the ooo's in "Magic to Do".) I'm classically trained but have more of a punk vibe, I'm pretty versatile. Previous roles: Prince Hebert in Spamalot, Tulsa in Gypsy, Jud in Oklahoma, things of the like...

"Magic to Do" is the first musical theatre song I ever performed live for an audience, so I do care about this enough to consult the BWW forums! This musical carries deep meaning for me, I rly don't want to f it up!!
