I'm auditioning for Gypsy. I'm an alto/mezzo-soprano. I sound something like Marilyn Monroe. I would like something I can easily move around to, that isn't too common.

Well, i suggest not to sing anything from the show. This might lock you into the particular part too much. The judges like variety, and I'm sure they will hear the songs from the musical most often. A really good thing for you to sing would be the song " Diamonds are a girls best friend" from the movie musical "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" It is sung by none other than............MARILYN MONROE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also remember to flaunt your vocal chords and be creative with your voice. Don't be afraid to move around the stage--it impresses the judges. OWN IT! Good luck at your audition.
PS: Look online for a good, interesting musical and get a song/CD. Try a less-common one, and stay away from pitchy songs that make your voice go UP and DOWN, unless you are certian you can pull it off. Sing the song chosen to a trusted companion, one you know will tell you the truth about your preformance.

If you can pull it off, try "Memory" from Cats. It has a nice mezzo-soprano/alto range, but if you can't belt, then don't do it. x3
In other suggestion:
"Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz
"Send Me a Song" from Celtic Woman (their first CD)
"Gravity" the end song of the anime movie Wolf's Rain
"A New Life" from Jekyll and Hyde (has some difficult rythm if you have trouble with beat)
"The Voice" from Celtic Woman (their third CD, "A New Journey")
Always remember to pick a song you're familliar with, so you can sell it to the audience with facial expressions and gestures. Always become in tune emotionally with the song. ^^

Try 'Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again' or 'Think of Me' from Phantom of the Opera. I think songs of Sarah Brightman could suit you as you have almost the same voice range. Also try 'Il Mio Cuore Va' the Italian version of 'My Heart Will Go On'
