Need help with an Audition song for Legally Blonde (Emmett)

[J.Gross]

I need 16 bars of an uptempo, and 16 bars of a ballad to audition with this saturday for the role of Emmett. For my uptempo song, i'm thinking "My Next Story" from Glory days. Unfortunately I'm having a lot of trouble finding a solid ballad. Any suggestions would be wonderful!

Please help (:

thank you!

It might be overdone but "Being Alive"?

The Ballad of Farquaad.

The answer is really dependant on your range,
Though since you're going for emmet, I assume that you're a tenor.
Here are some suggestions:

Marry Me a Little - Company
Purpose - Avenue Q
They Say It's Wonderful - Annie Get Your Gun
All I Care About Is Love - Chicago
Beauty School Drop-out - Grease
Wouldn't It be Nice - The Wild Party

Hope this helps, I've used each of these (I'm a tenor myself) and they've gone well
Also, good luck with the audition, emmet is one of my dream roles and if you get him you're a lucky son-of-a-female dog.
