I am currently preparing for Sheridan College's Musical Theatre Performance Program in Oakville, Ontario. And I was hoping to get some advice on my song selections. For the audition we are required to sing 2 contrasting musical theatre songs in 32 bar cuts, with one having to be from the Golden Age of musical theatre. The songs I have chosen are:
"Watch what happens" from Newsies (I do not care if this song is considered overdone)
"Nobody makes a pass at me" from Pins and Needles (this one is from the Golden Age)
Are these 2 songs contrasting enough? I would classify them both as uptempo's but they are different from one another. The other song I was toying with doing was "I wish it so" from the musical Juno. (That song would replace "Nobody makes a pass at me") This song is also in the Golden age of musical theatre and it's a ballad. I'm pretty set on those 3 songs, just wondering which of the 3 I should use. Thanks :)
Here's some links of the songs for those who aren't familiar with them:
