Easy - "Poisoning pigeons in the Park" by Tom Lehrer or "Unworthy Of Your Love" from by Sondheim if I need to be sappy... but you know I do think now I would need do something from Dr. Horrible ;0)
How about some Gilbert and Sullivan: "I am the Captain of the Pinafore And a right good Captain too!" or something from Oklahoma: "Oklahoma - where the wind come sweepin down the plain" ND
A musical ... have I ever seen a musical ... of course .. Phantom of the Opera, and Annie ... oh and Song of Norway. Damn .. can't remember a single song.
Hmmmmm, Deb in a musical...now that is an odd thought. I'm essentially tone deaf. But, IF I could sing, it would be that "Climb Every Mountain" song from The Sound of Music.
It's got to have (a) a range of more than octave (b) at least one tongue twister (c) an odd chord passage or key change (d) a dramatic pause or tempo shift (e) a high note ending.
In other words, it's got to be something vocally challenging that the average Joe would never be able to pull off. Fortunately, anything in a hymn book will fit that description. I'd go with "He Lives."

I can't imagine trying out for a musical. I have a hard time sitting through them. Especially now that I've endured Mama Mia.
My quota is filled and I don't have to go ever again.

I went with "patricia the Stripper" it doesn't have alot of singing, but it's alot of fun... errr, hypothetically speaking I mean.

Hey Elbow ... How about you get a musical picked out and lay out all the parts and we all sign up???
"I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No"
from Oklahoma - not only a great audition piece, but a motto too!
"Don't Cry for me Argentina" from Evita...for sure...
...or not...
Hey Big Spender. That can be really belted out.
I personally would like to sing it to Secretary Henry Paulson. While I slap him hard and repeatedly.
On behalf of the USA, I apologize.
