MT Summer Workshop - audition help!

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I’m going to be auditioning for a summer musical theatre workshop and I am trying to pick my songs. I need an uptempo and a ballad. I am a 19 year old bari-tenor.</p>

<p>I am thinking “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” (Mis) for the ballad, or maybe “Left Behind” (Spring Awakening).</p>

<p>For the uptempo song, I am considering “Something’s Coming” (WSS), “Les Poissons” (Mermaid), and “The Kite” (Charlie Brown). I’m considering these uptempo songs because I have played these parts, but I am totally open to suggestions!</p>

<p>Also, is the piano part for “Something’s Coming” too tricky for a provided audition accompanist?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>My son did “Something’s Coming” for his college auditions. None of the accompanists at any of the schools where he auditioned had any difficulties with it. </p>

<p>I don’t recommend doing Empty Chairs (or anything from Les Mis). Too overdone.</p>

<p>Break a leg!</p>
