While it is good to be a resource and suggest songs for your D, one thing she may wish to get in the habit of doing is listening to lots of MT albums and getting many MT anthology songbooks and building up a library of music she is familar with. Then, when an audition arises, she can go through all the music she already is familiar with and find a suitable choice. If she is headed down the path of an eventual BFA program in MT, the more she can amass her familiarity with a wide range of MT repertoire, the better. After a while, she should have the names of LOTS and LOTS of songs at her fingertips, even if she has never performed or worked on them all. She really has to start making a “study” of what’s out there in showtunes. So, make sure your asking here doesn’t substitute for her going through lots of songbooks and cast recordings or samples of songs online to find a suitable song for Wendy.
