What are good musical theatre audition songs for female character actors?
I’m a female character actor (able to play characters aged between 12 - 23) gathering songs for my standard ballad/up-tempo and contemporary ballad/up-tempo musical theatre audition pieces. The more obscure the musical, the better.
An example of what a character actor would sing is a song like "I Can’t Say No" from Oklahoma!
You might try something from Urinetown (such as Privilege to Pee), maybe Hairspray, the ballad ‘There’s a Fine, Fine Line’ from Avenue Q, ‘The Soloman Song’ (or others) from Threepenny Opera, or ‘You Can Always Count on Me’ from City of Angels.
Something I sometimes do is check out the Internet Broadway Database, looking up the show I’m auditioning for (or previous roles I’ve played) and see what else that actor appeared in. That generally points me in a good direction.
Hi! How about the Witch from "Into the Woods"?
