Might be a stupid audition question

My D is applying to acting schools this year, not MT, but she does sing. I know two of the rules of thumb for choosing songs are - one- the show should not be currently running on Broadway or even have run within the past year. Two- the song should not ever have been the song from the show that everyone remembers, the one sung by the famous Broadway performer. Everyone just compares you to that singer. You are probably safe in these regards with those songs.
I dont know though if this show is very popular at the high school level, which can lead to a lot of kids doing the songs. There’s an overdone monologue thread on the theatre forum: did you search this forum for overdone songs?
