I'm currently in the process of making a unified audition repertoire sourcebook for the underclassmen at the university I attend, and I was just curious of some of the songs and monologues others use for their audition packages. I'll start by listing my own most recently used package:
Larger than Life from MY FAVORITE YEAR
Asking for You from DO RE MI
and Biff's monologue from DEATH OF A SALESMAN
"I am ready to disclaim my opinion, even of yesterday, even of 10 minutes ago, because all opinions are relative. One lives in a field of influences, one is influenced by everyone one meets, everything is an exchange of influences, all opinions are derivative. Once you deal a new deck of cards, you've got a new deck of cards."

If I had one (I'm not an actress, but I know what I'd do!) here's what I'd use (giving different options-Shakespeare, etc.)
Music:
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from "Phantom of the Opera"
something Rogers and Hammerstein-maybe "Edelweiss" from "The Sound of Music" or "Climb Every Mountain"
Monologues: I'd have a Shakespeare and a modern: Shakespeare: My favorite monologue was written for a man, but I love it so much-It's Aaron's opening speech from "Titus Andronicus" ("Now climbeth Tamora Olympus' top...") If I wanted to do a female one, I'd do one of Tamora's speeches.
Classic: Rose's speech from "Fences"-my favorite! ("You can't be nobody but who you are, Cory, that shadow wasn't nothing but you growing into yourself...")
"A birdcage I plan to hang. I'll get to that someday. A birdcage for a bird who flew away...Around the world."
"Life is a cabaret old chum, only a cabaret old chum, and I love a cabaret!"-RIP Natasha Richardson-I was honored to have witnessed her performance as Sally Bowles.

...I'm getting the idea that there aren't many professional actors on this board
