Might be a stupid audition question

As takeitallin said, he needs to have some back-up songs with music with appropriate cuts. Don’t choose a song where you can only hit that high note on a good day. The audition day is almost never a good day.

Some schools want one of the songs to be from an older show, so it’s a good idea to know a few of those. By older, of course, I don’t mean “Wicked” – find something by Cole Porter, Gershwin, Jerry Herman, Rodgers and Hammerstein, etc.

If you have a great range, show it off. If you have gorgeous low notes, show them off.
