Help picking out an audition song for Anything Goes?

Question

I'm gonna be auditioning for Anything Goes soon and I want a really good audition song (not sure for what part yet; if I can work up the courage, I'll audition for Reno). Preferably Cole Porter, or at least similar style songs to Anything Goes. Also, preferably more upbeat. 16-32 bars, or at least something that can be easily cut down.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I'm in that play right now! Ummm anything 42nd Street would be perfect! and Reno is an alto, so anything belty would also be good.

Answer 2

WOW yet another amateur production of the oldest and tiredest of musicals.. Anything Goes... I'm unimpressed.. ANYWAY.. here are some great FEMALE SOLOS for auditions and most of them are a lot more modern than anything from that tired old 1934 musical which has the dubious distinction of being the MOST PRODUCED MUSICAL EVER.

Answer 3

Ana, why ought to you're making this hard for me? they're all such surprising songs! yet I do desire the Mozart songs, over the Gershwin and Lloyd Weber. I truly like "Un moto di gioia mi sento..." and that i think of it would be the main suitable option on your overall performance. according to threat i'm being biased, as that's the only song you indexed that *I* have sung. (i'm effective you will sound extra useful making a song it than I did! :P) some suggestions for songs you need to do (that are optimistically perfect on your voice).... according to threat it truly is unrealistic to think of you need to verify them in time on your stay overall performance, yet once you already know them or are waiting to verify them in time, make certain to evaluate them! Ach, ich fuhl's - Die Zauberflote, Mozart Si. Mi Chiamano Mimi - la Boheme, Puccini Mein liebster Freund - Bastien und Bastienne, Mozart In uomini, in soldati - Cosi Fan Tutte, Mozart Oft she visits this lov'd moutain - Dido and Aeneas, Purcell Tutto è gioia, tutto è festa - la Sonnambula, Donizetti and what approximately Barbarina's aria in Le Nozze? This song is maximum on no account perfect on your stay overall performance, and that i'm uncertain no rely if it truly is optimal on your voice (according to threat a number of the extra ornamented passages may be too complicated?) yet you need to evaluate doing "Quando me'n vò" from la Boheme. Its a touch showy song, that's staggering, in case you could pull it off! EDIT: No, the Gershwin and Mozart at the instant are not too comparable. they're a wierd "pair" yet i think of they artwork nicely jointly. ok, they're the two contained in this sort of a Viennese Waltz, however the Mozart is extra classical sounding (of course) and that they are thoroughly distinctive stylistically. sturdy success! (or ought to I say smash a leg?)
