Answer 1

If it has to be from Suessical I would definetly sing Notice Me Horton.  It not up tempo, but it could be belted.

Here are some other great songs you could use:

Let Yourself Go- Follow the Fleet

I Am So Much Better- Legally Blonde

A Bushel and a Peck - Guys and Dolls

A c**k-Eyed optimist- South Pacific

Dance if it Makes you Happy- The Tap Dance Kid

Don't Call Me Trailer Trash- Cowgirls

I'll Know- Guys and Dolls

Violets and Silverbells- Shenandoah

I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair- South Pacific

Answer 2

"Popular" from Wicked would be good. It requires a sweet girlie voice like Gertrude's for most of it, but it has some belting parts.

Also, I think "Unworthy of Your Love" from Assassins would be brilliant. It's originally sung as a duet, but you could easily make it a solo. Please check it out, you might like it.

Another awesome one is "Home" from Beauty and the Beast, although it doesn't show Gertrude's character. It would showcase your strong voice. :)

Good luck with your audition, I hope you get a good part and have fun!

Seussical is an amazing musical.
