So i'm a dance team and i'm really good at Musical Theatre.
I have the facial expressions and everything, and even won special awards for them.
This year i did a song called "I Want to Go to Hollywood" and got amazing scores.
I'm continuing it and was wondering what are some really good songs?
I've found "When You've Got It, Flaunt it." By the producers.
"Popular" by Wicked.
Is there any better ones?

The ones you've chosen are good, especially I Want To Go To Hollywood from Grand Hotel :-)
More suggestions if you're looking for songs along the same lines (fun, character, upbeat) Now keep in mind some of these depend on how old you are and how old you play...
(I usually suggest a couple songs from Hairspray, but with the movie coming out they will undoubtedly be overdone)
Don't Tell Mama - Cabaret
Go Into Your Dance - 42nd Street
Not For The Life of Me – Thoroughly Modern Millie
When I Get My Name in Lights – The Boy From Oz
Waiting For Life – Once On This Island (good to sing, but probably not dance)
Amazing Mayzie - Seussical (maybe for dancing, def. for singing)
Not so charactery, but good: (Only for singing, I can't imagine doing a dance number to these. Maybe ballet to the 2nd one?)
Astonishing – Little Women
I’m Not Afraid of Anything – Songs for a New World
I could suggest ballads too, but you seem to want more upbeat choices even though the last two aren't really in that category, the rest would be definite ballads.
I hope I've introduced you to something new!
Good luck!

Reflection from Mulan, Godspell, A Chorus Line, Annie,
Bewitched from Pal Joey, Wizard of Oz, Finian's Rainbow, the Sound of Music.
Pick some more obscure, less done pieces. The auditioners are hearing the more popular ones over and over. Be different.

Why don't you look into musicals that aren't so popular or aren't so over done...Sorry everyone in front of me... but they are so over done especially if you are auditioning.... Not what an judge wants to see. You should buy a book called "The 16-Bar Theater Audition- what ever your range is"
