What song should I sing for my Beauty and the Beast audition?

My community theatre will be performing Beauty and the Beast. We are asked to prepare a short song for the audition. I want either Belle or Mrs. Potts. What song would show my versatility and range?|||Well, it depends on whether or not they want to see you do something from the show. If they do, you should do Belle's song 'Home', which shows off a good range. If not, I'd go with something like 'Unexpected Song', which I believe is from Song and Dance, or 'I Could Have Danced All Night', from My Fair Lady. Both of those require a good range, and aren't too difficult.|||This is a very hard question to answer considering i dont know your voice or your range.





If you are an alto then some great songs to show it off are:





I'm not that girl (wicked)


Hit me with a hot note (sophisticated ladies)


On my own (les Mis)


Times like this (lucky stiff)


The one feathered tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz (Seussical)





Soprano





As long as he needs me( Oliver!)


no good deed (Wicked)


Adelaide's Lament (Guys and Dolls)


Notice me Horton (Seussical)


great choice****** A change in me (Beauty and the beast)





Break a leg|||"Someday My Prince Will Come."|||Beauty and the Beast





Appropiate and pretty!


--------------------------------------鈥?br>




Tale as old as time


True as it can be


Barely even friends


Then somebody bends


Unexpectedly


Just a little change


Small to say the least


Both a little scared


Neither one prepared


Beauty and the Beast





Ever just the same


Ever a surprise


Ever as before


Ever just as sure


As the sun will rise





Tale as old as time


Tune as old as song


Bittersweet and strange


Finding you can change


Learning you were wrong


Certain as the sun


Rising in the east


Tale as old as time


Song as old as rhyme


Beauty and the Beast





Tale as old as time


Song as old as rhyme


Beauty and the Beast|||the song at the very begining, that bonjour song cause it has different vocal ranges|||I can't tell you what would show off your versatility and range without hearing you sing. If you are only interested in Belle or Mrs. Potts, I suggest picking a song that is similar to their songs, which might be a bit difficult. They have different ranges. In that case, just show off your voice. Show the directors what you can do!





I am auditioning for Beauty and the Beast in about 6 weeks. I'm singing "Some Things are Meant to Be" from Little Women, and "Storybook" from The Scarlet Pimpernel.





Oh, and by the way...you should never sing a song from the show you're auditioning for unless they specifically tell you to.
