Hi everyone,

I have a big audition coming up for a production of West Side Story. I really want the lead and know that I am capable of it if I put in a good auditon.

My question is, does anyone know a few songs that I would be worth be learning in the style of the show and particular the character of Tony.

Thanks guys and girls

M.

Hi,
Think more classical musical theatre repertoire, stick to soundeim and probably can't go wrong. 'Being Alive' from Company. Remember Tony is a tenor, up to B flat, so showing off that top range is essential. Johanna from Sweeney Todd is in more a lyric baritone range. 'Giants in the sky' from Into the Woods is also good.

Good Luck
