Audition song for Sweeney todd

[Annabellocke]

I’m doing Sweeney Todd with my theatre group and would really like to be Mrs.Lovett. I’ve been listening to the cast album quite a bit and have a relatively good British accent (I just played Mary Poppins). I was thinking about doing wouldn’t it be loverley from My Fair Lady. But they said they don’t want us to do our music portion of the audition with a British accent. So I’ve been trying to find a song that embodies the character without using a British accent. I feel like if you do wouldn’t it be loverley it needs a British accent so being told that I shouldn’t use one has made me shy away from that particular song. Does anybody have any other good songs that would fit Mrs. Lovett’s personality and music style?

Rosa’s murder confession from The Mystery Of Edwin Drood, although it is in a British accent I could easily see it done without it
