Both songs are EXTREMELY overdone. It is best to avoid EXTREMELY overdone songs. You do not have to find an obscure song but shouldn't sing the most common audition songs that exist either. It also would show a lack of knowledge of the musical theater repertoire. Listen to many musical theater songs to find other ones suited to your voice and get advice from a voice teacher who knows your strengths. There are plenty of other Rogers and Hammerstein songs! Even from Cinderella....."A Lovely Night" is a better choice than In My Own Little Corner and is not as overdone. I suggest avoiding Les Mis songs all together and they fall on almost all "do not do" lists, and most of all "On My Own" is the MOST overdone of them.
