What would be a really good Alto song??

Question

I am such an alto =]. My upper register is really quiet, but as soon as I get those low notes I belt it out and I do great! I'm auditioning for My Favorite Year at my high school. My director has asked us not to pick a really popular musical like Wicked, Phantom of the Opera or High School Musical. Can you help me? Thanks!

Answer 3

I'm not sure, but with "When You're Good to Mama" It's not really age-appropriate to sing - but maybe you could change some words haha in High School she probably won't care/notice.

Answer 4

Try one of these:

Little Lamb from Gypsy

Worst Pies in London from Sweeney Todd

When You're Good to Mama from Chicago

A Little Brains, A Little Talent from d**n Yankees

There's a Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q

My New Philosophy from You're  A Good Man, Charlie Brown

Stepsisters' Lament from R&H's Cinderella

What I Did For Love from A Chorus Line
