Ok i asked this question once and apprently i didnt give enough details. I got answers like, Eve's song and even High school musical when I asked for Schwartz's music... I'm a guy, 14 years old. I'm a sophomore. I'm auditioning for my school's rendition of Cats. I'm looking for a really upbeat song from Stephen Schwartz or anything related to his style. I really admire his songs like Day by Day(Godspell) and Corner of the Sky(Pippin) and almost every song from Wicked. I'm looking perhaps something less familar but familiar enough that I can find the accompaniment for it(yes its required for me to find a CD accompaniment) which means DEFINITELY nothing from Wicked, perhaps something that requires a long held belt note at the end. I do not have that high of a voice, I'm a baritenor without the range if that makes sense. I just havent found my natural high range so most female(non-love song and not too feminine of course) belt numbers would work for me.

Cats was by Andrew Lloyd Webber, so you may want to consider Any Dream Will Do from Joseph. Corner of the Sky is good, What about There's a Sucker Born Ev'ry Minute from Barnum?
If you really want Schwarts, try Turn Back, O Man from Godspell or something from Working or the Baker's Wife?
I also suggest:
You're The Top or Be The Bluebird - Anything Goes
That Face - The Producers (too high?)
Once In Love With Amy - Where's Charley
Grand Knowing You - She Loves Me
All I Need is the Girl - Gypsy
Uptown Girl - Movin' Out
Marian The Librarian - Music Man
It's A Fish - The Apple Tree
As for the accompaniment, ask your voice teacher to play it for you and record it on tape then just play your tape at the audition. If it has to be CD, check out Pocket Songs online or any music store. They generally son't have as good a selection in the store as they do online though.

I additionally like i'm Calm or or That'll practice Him from A humorous factor got here about on a thank you to The talk board. there is likewise Goodnight My somebody from music guy. no longer my well-known, yet genuinely soprano and not belty. examine out here characters and what they sing of their shows: Wendy - Peter Pan Joanna - Sweeney Todd Tuptim - The King & I Nanette - No, No, Nanette youthful Sally - Follies Julie Jordan - Carousel Luisa - Fantasticks that ought to get you started, yet of course there are a brilliant form of judgements obtainable! solid success!

I like doing '42nd Street' for my audition. Its simple sounding, upbeat, well known and the last note you can sustain.
