Hey so I really want to try out for my school's musical which is going to be Godspell. I really want the song Turn Back O Man in the show. We aren't supposed to sing a song from the actual Musical, but I figure if that is the part that I want then I need to show them what I can do right? I haven't played a character like this before. Any ideas for a song that might be good? I'm not really a singer so I don't know correct terms and such, but I think I can sing fairly high and fairly low.... Anyway.
I love that song and that show! Here are some suggestions for songs that are somewhat similar to the character/song you're going for (they're all from other musicals): All That Jazz (from Chicago) When You're Good to Mama (from Chicago) Whatever Lola Wants (from Damn Yankees) Cabaret (from Cabaret) Let's Misbehave (from Anything Goes/Cole Porter generally) It's All the Same (from Man of La Mancha) Amayzing Mayzie (from Seussical) Let Me Entertain You (from Gypsy) Be Italian (from Nine) I Hate Men (from Kiss Me Kate) Spanish Rose (from Bye Bye Birdie) 42nd Street (from 42nd Street) But any song (showtune or not) in a somewhat lower register that conveys a confident and/or flirty character should work well. Pick something that you like and that you feel comfortable with Break a leg.
