Hello all!

I am Auditioning for the Role of Nancy in a Local production of Oliver and would like your help! I will be only auditioning for NANCY.

I have a BFA in musical theatre-vocal performance. I am a well experienced performer/ECM/ AEA, etc.

This is a simple local production, I will have a small amount of competition (knowing of some local actresses auditioning as-well) I fit the part well - Nancy is my type physically. i am classically trained. And I have thought of SOME audition songs but would like more ideas.

I am a trained dramatic soprano. But in Musical theatre I am a high belter/ mezzo -Low belter Alto. (Vocal and acting is my strong skills)

I would like a song that is an Alto Ballad -But is not commonly heard in auditions I would also like for the song to mirror as long as he needs me

Songs I am thinking of doing;

Maybe I like it this way -Wild Party (highest contender)
Maybe This time - Cabaret (over done however I sing this song very well and it is similar in character to Nancy)
Millers Son -Sondheim (Sondheim is risky because of the accompanist but the lyrics are appropriate for Nancy a Tart with a Heart vibes)
anyone can whistle - Sondheim. (However Easy to play for pianist)
No ones knows my name -J&H
Not while Im around -Sweeny Todd. (The accents/same time frame)
(Or A song from the musical chess)

I have time to practice and perfect any song you suggest!!!

Please let me know your thoughts everyone I need a solid-not heard all the time- alto- sad -Harlot- victim -belt -ballad!!!!! Throw those suggestions at me B-Way BABIES!
