<p>I know it’s different for everyone.</p>
<p>But I’m a bari-tenor, and I’m looking at Magic to DO from Pippin, Dancing Through life, and it takes two from hairspray.</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>Tom – I would pick Magic to Do only because it’s less recent – the newer songs tend to get overdone. I would guess that It Takes Two would be particularly tired right now, because of the movie.</p>
<p>It really depends on the show you’re auditioning for since they’re fairly diverse songs. I would say sing whichever one you’re most comfortable doing and have the most fun singing.</p>
<p>However, in my personal opinion, “It Takes Two” is the best song of those three (though I’m not a huge Stephen Schwartz fan).</p>
<p>If this is for an MT or VP college audition? Take into consideration the ease/difficulty of the sheet music for the accompanist.</p>
<p>Good point – but all three of those songs have pretty reasonable piano parts.</p>
<p>All 3 pieces are reasonable pieces.</p>
<p>I’m leaning towards It Takes Two or Magic To Do, -I think It Takes Two might not be over-used because it wasn’t really in the movie. It’s also pretty baritone and I’m sort of sick which makes the high notes a bit strained.</p>
