"Cain't Say No" was my first thought too. How about "Whistle A Happy Tune" from King & I? Or - if you can pull it off, if you're willing to be a little silly, and if you can stand it "When The Children Are Asleep" from Carousel? ------------- POB Old Bugger, Curmudgeon, and Antisocial B**tard |

I just finished a spectacular run of Music Man at our theater, and since I am a guy, I sang Nothin' Lika a Dame from South Pacific. What part are you auditiong for?

The part you are going for should determine what type of song you sing.
If you are hoping for Marion, "I Cain't Say No" would be completely inappropriate, but since you are an alto you haven't much of a shot at that role anyway. There are some decent alto roles though. K. ------------- ------- MusicalTheatreAudition.com ~ It's Time To Prepare. |
