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.
