Answer 1

Stick with Rogers and Hammerstein as it's always a good idea to sing a song by the same composers but from a different show.  Look at "Confidence" from the Sound of Music, "Mister Snow" or "What's the Use Of Wonderin" from Carousel, "I Enjoy Being A Girl" from Flower Drum Song, "Happy Talk" or "I Gotta Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair" from South Pacific or maybe "I Whistle a Happy Tune" from The King And I.  Personally I'd go with "I Enjoy Being A Girl" as it's very close to "I'm Just A Girl Who Cain't Say No" in style and subject - I reckon it's as close to perfect an audition song for Ado Annie as you'll find.  There's a clip of it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjWn-ueee...

I Don't Know How to Love Him (from JC Superstar)

Look at some of the songs in RENT

Teaching Third Grade (from Ruthless)

My New Philosophy (from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown)
