A new musical about the one thing we never stop doing – growing up.

I need an audition song!

I am a 12 (almost 13) year old boy, and I need a song for upcoming auditions (I'm not sure what the show is yet). One upbeat song and one ballad would be helpful (both have to be from musical theater). I am most comfortable singing between an A below middle C and a high C. (However, please note that my voice is changing.) I need between 16 and 32 bars. Thanks!

Maybe even "Who Will Buy?" from Oliver. Johnny One Note is up-tempo and Who Will Buy is a ballad. :); ▶ Reply to This

And for the upbeat song something like "I Can't Stand Still" from Footloose.

Good luck!; ▶ Reply to This
