As a producer, assistant director, and actor in small theater productions, I would say that your best option is one that you can really nail. You're better off doing an easy song that you are really good at and that shows your vocal range rather than trying to do something that is beyond your vocal talents.
Falling in Love with Love is a great song that has a very "stage" sound and if you can nail it, then by all means, go for it.
I would stay away from anything that is too pop-oriented since you're not going to be singing pop songs in a musical.
Once you pick your song - practice, practice, then practice some more and make sure that you bring sheet music in case they want to have somebody accompany you, or a music-only CD.
You should also make sure you can sing it without accompaniment as well since you never know what they'll ask you to do.

Falling in Love with Love is a great song! I love it (no pun intended). The Boyfriend is a musical right? Grab the cd or download it and see if there are any songs that grab your attention right away. There generally is with me. I also LOVE the Aida soundtrack, as well as Chicago and Grease. Hairspray's pretty cool too. Just go with your first instinct. If you like the song, and can hit all the notes, then go for it.
Best Wishes with your auditions!!!

I would say the one slow one by Christina Aguilera ( It goes "Im sorry for, blaming you and thats about all i know) or the the one by Carie Underwood that goes " I carved my name into his leather seats.. maybe next time you'll think before you cheat"..but thats all I can think of for a play named "The Boyfriend" so, I hope i helped atleast a little because Im only 10 and I really need a best answer because everyone keeps giving my answers thumbs down and Im doing this for extra credit at school. So please someone give me atleast a thumbs up! :(

"Falling in Love with Love" seems a good choice to me.

pick a song you know by heart nothing youll have to learn
like a song from grease "look at me im sandra dee"... teachers like that song because it shows not only the acting abilities but your comical side

I am not sure what to say about that because I have never actually been to the theater. So basically I have never actually been to a Play before. I hope to visit the Opera house in Sidney, Australia.
