- In today's adventure of musical theatre audition advice: let's discuss some Broadway audition songs you should never * use
🌻🌻 OPEN ME 🌻🌻
We're talking about the worst musical theatre / broadway audition songs! I love doing videos on audition advice because auditioning (for a musical, play, movie, tv show, whatever) is the absolute worst! It can be such an insanely stressful process, so I love making it a little less awful. Today, I'm sharing musical theatre songs you really shouldn't be taking into the audition room. Like I mention in the video, these are just general guidelines that I feel would apply to the vast majority of singers watching but hey-- you do you!
The Categories are:
00:00 howdy
01:08 mega-famous songs
01:42 currently popular musicals
02:33 ‘do not sing’ list
03:25 IMPORTANT: must fit you & show
04:36 overly difficult piano part
05:48 repetitive songs
06:10 most obvious choice
Bonus!
07:56 How to find a GREAT Audition Song

"if it's on tik tok, don't sing it"
Best advice I've ever heard
fAcTs
**In The Heights has left the chat**
**heathers slowly walks away**
**six the musical panicking**
In our school, only the 8th graders do the musical. And a 7th grader once said to me: ”I wanna ask the director if we can do heathers. You know, bc of TikTok, wouldn’t that be cool?“
Me:...🤯🔫
"Hi, I'm auditioning for the role of Alexander Hamilton and I'm singing I love my dead gay son"

“hi, im auditioning for the role of hercules mulligan and i will be singing popular.”
This is the best comment I’ve ever seen!!!
*I can picture Hercules Mulligan just happily dancing around I-*

I can imagine Hercules Mulligan skipping around in a pink frilly dress singing a cute little ditty about being hot and pretty(?) and *popewlar*
“Hey, I will be auditioning for the role of Philip Hamilton and I will be singing ‘All You Wanna Do’ from Six”
Mine would be:
"Hi, I'm Grace, I'll be auditioning for Eliza Hamilton and I'll be singing 'Don't Loose Ur Head' from Six"
Lmaooo
Here's another one:
Hi I'm auditioning for the roll of Angelica Schuyler and will be singing Grow for me from Little Shop of Horrors
@Elizabeth Kendall it was the song that I had fully learned and felt comfortable singing.
@Elizabeth Kendall unfortunately not, but I got the role of principle singer, so I just sing throughout the show.
"Don't use Hamilton"
Me: Well there goes my shot
Jazlin Y don’t throw away your shot!

Man it sucks being a theatre nerd and not being able to sing...
My parents and neighbors hate me
Yeah it’s a sad, sad, life.
Same here ;-;
Me too... And I already ruined my voice...
Same
Really I felt that! I like to think I can sing, so I do anyway, but nobody appreciates it. LOL
My high school choir teacher had this great story about a musical audition he did. He had to pick a Disney song to sing on the spot and picked "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. He forgot that the song was a duet so when the music got to Jasmine's section he panicked and ended up singing Jasmine's portion in falsetto much to the amusement of the director. The best part is that he actually got the role!
Cool story
Can confirm this does happen sometimes
"Hi I'm auditioning for Angelica Schuyler and I will be singing 'It's over isn't it' from Steven Universe"
Fr tho lol
nOOO
I would definitely sing an SU song for my auditions, even if it ain't a Broadway show :3
Ahhh

Yes
Burn is way to overused, especially from TikTok and Hamilton in general is to popular as of now.
Hi i will be auditioning for JD's mom and i will be singing "Dead Mom"

"Hi, my name is Henry and I will be auditioning for the role of King George III and I will be singing 'Cell Block Tango' from 'Chicago'"
Elizabeth Giovi okay but it’s a literal bop
@@carleytimmerman2279 it is
Your comment made me spit my coffee lolol
😂😂😂😂
Elizabeth Giovi YES!
I was in a production of Annie and the director explicitly said to the girls auditioning "Please do not sing 'Tomorrow'. Sure enough a late comer comes in (red curley hair and red dress) sang Tomorrow. Her mom had a fit when the girl didn't get the lead.
no way i just auditioned for annie!
I played Annie in a workshop
“Maybe” would’ve been a better piece to use
And don’t sing a song that’s already in the musical. It makes you seem lazy. (unless the director insists on it, in which case obviously go ahead)
So if I'm auditioning for Heather Duke I cant sing Freeze Your Brain :
Unless the director says to sing a song from the musical. Ik that is what my high school does.
My school doesn’t allow us to sing a song from the musical.
@@rileyd593 mine does that, too.
My school has us sing songs from the musical (well my old school) so I’m learning Watch What Happens and something else…. Any suggestions? Might just do Satisfied, it’s very good for my voice and I know it.
Kat should just make a series called “Please Don’t.” where she tells us what not to do in auditions.
I mean I would watch
Wow! Infinite content!
Omg 😂💖
YES
Definitely!
Once sang “dangerous woman” by Ariana grande for a Cinderella audition. SOMEHOW I got Cinderella. Don’t question the theatre gods
Somehow, Cinderella was a dangerous woman wasn’t she?
Sure
HUH?!
**heavy breathing and cold sweat**
Adrian Ghandtchi no not really she was really docile and got pushed around by her sisters a lot and really kind, and then became a princess and forgave her sisters and mother i don’t consider that dangerous i consider that a girl with a heart of gold.
"Hello, I would like to be auditioning for Hades and I'll be singing "my heart will go on"
“Hi I will be auditioning for the role of Elsa from Frozen and I will be singing ‘Dead Girl Walking’ from Heathers”
I think it would be pretty fitting if someone auditioned for Elsa or Anna and sang Freeze Your Brain lol
@@slushiesforlife someone in this comment section did lol and they got elsa
BRO IM ROLLING- not even the reprise 😭😭🖕
"Dont sing it if its on tik tok"
Problem:everything is on tik tok
AndPeggy , the schylar sisters
That is the problem
Okay, don't sing it if it is TRENDING on tik tok... I do not do tik tok, sooo.. is everything trending?
@@TheMarikatt not really, I mean, the only "trending musical thing" I saw was "dang dang digitty dang dang" :v
Now what do we sing hElp
"Don't use hamilton"
(Cries in Burn)
(Cries in Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story and Cabinet Battle #1)
@@vixxmixx3880 damn bro, that's sad
I’m begging you not to do that. My aunt is a director and she will never cast a girl (especially white girls) if they sing burn or anything from Hamilton
@@molly-cw9tj damn, that sucks, but I'm mexican
GalactiiBun I’m saying it in general, not assuming your race, I promise. But I would strongly advise not to sing a song from Hamilton
“Woah I said TikTok, am I hip with the kids now?”

“Good morning, I’ll be auditioning for the role of Anne Boleyn and I’ll be singing ‘satisfied’ from Hamilton”
i got the role of elsa in frozen by singing freeze your brain from heathers
edit: so many likes! thank you all!
I love this comment i just wanna say but your likes are 69 and i aint breakin it lmao
I guess because you did show you have the ability to do the belts for Elsa
OK it makes it amazing that the comment above this is I got the part of Heather Chandler by singing let it go
why do i feel like this is the most ironic thing i've read
I love this but you have 420 likes and I don't wanna ruin it
"Hi, I wanna be Anna from Frozen and for my audition I'll be singing 'freeze your brain' from Heathers"
for elsa i think it'd be ok
if you go for Olaf you wanna sing Santa Fe from newsies 😂
No its because Elsa froze Anna's brain
I really hate/love your joke right there
I mean, fitting tho

“Hi, my name is Sophie and I’ll be auditioning for the role of Lafayette and I’ll be singing Don’t Lose Ur Head.”
*Yes*
UNDERRATEDDDDDEDDEEVX RDFDSGDESSCSD
For my first audition when I was 9, I sang defying gravity. My voice cracked within the first 5 lines.
Noo 😭
My first audition for frozen was with a tangled song, I got little Anna!
Something has changed within me. sOmEtHing.....
Me: *cannot sing well*
Me: *has never done theatre in her life*
Me: *doesn’t plan to ever audition for musicals or any production*
Me: *still enjoys this video*
Same. How is it recommended? I watched Hamilton Act 1 too much
9 NightWolf no idea, it was a while ago and I was probably watching specific voice coaches or singers and youtube might’ve recommend it to me because the typical viewers of whoever I was watching also tends to watch this channel. That would be my guess.
9 NightWolf literally same, jotting down mental notes like I’m ever going to need them in my near future despite no plans to audition for anything ever
Me ngl- I just have been watching beetlejuice stuff E
I got the recommendation by the vocal coaches channels lol
“Hi my names Lola and I’m going to be auditioning for the roll of Connor Murphy and singing the song’sexy’ from mean girls the musical”
Lola Bunny pfffft yesss
OMG

I give you Sexy Corn
@@PoptartPockets I can be who I want to beee~
I took a master class with an actor and casting director about a year ago and they actually said they'd much rather hear a more well known song so that they can focus on the actual singing instead of also having to pick apart the lyrics. So if you're comfortable singing a song and its good just go for it don't worry that its "too popular"
Exactly. I recently did an audition spontaneously after years of not being in musical theatre and sang Think of Me, they didn't mind at all and they liked my audition. Got the part 😊
I got the role Heather Chandler by singing let it go
I'm a god
Truly amazing
good tip
YOU ARE SOOO A GOD
No Veronica’s and JD’s love is god 😂
Rosey Tribe wtf unfair
Still thinking about the guy who sang “Happy Birthday” at his audition. I hope you are well, King.
Peter Schipper One guy at my Man of La Mancha audition a few years ago (where I sang Fiji Water by Owl City????) sang Happy Birthday because he didn’t want to get in, but his mom forced him to go. He got Sancho.
Why’d this actually happen at my middle school once
My friend sang Happy birthday in middle school for a musical audition but she added onto it so it could reach whatever time minimum was set up, and she got the female lead.
Peter Schipper happened in my most recent audition room for my Hs show, that and the national anthem and about 19 versions of sit down, you’re rockin the boat 😂
This literally just happened in my High school. He even got a great role lol😂
Hello, I’ll be auditioning for Christine Daaé and I’ll be singing “Dead Mom” from Beetlejuice.
This is amazing
Just imagine like someone operatically singing dead mom
"hello my name is River and I'll be auditioning for Mrs trunchbull. I'll be singing Gaston from beauty and the beast"
My son landed Ladahlord in James and the Giant Peach with Gaston.
lmao i got cast as trunchbull understudy by singing the high part of revolting children😭
“Don’t sing rain on my parade”

Most places don't let you sing a song for the show if you're auditioning for it lol
As a pianist involved in several community theater and school theater programs, I agree with most of what you've said. Especially, don't bring in something with a ridiculous piano part! I've stumbled my way through several auditions with Sondheim and Jason Robert Brown pieces. Even if you can sing them perfectly with your rehearsal track, they probably won't go well in an audition. I'll also add couple more points. Make sure that the copy of music you hand the accompanist is complete, (i.e. the bottom line isn't cut off because the copier can't handle oversized scores), clean and clear (no excessive markings ore smudges or a copy of a copy of a copy that you can still recognize some of the notes in) and has no awkward page turns (i.e. you're going to sing 8 bars from page 27 and jump to page 32 to sing the next 16 bars then repeat back to page 28 for the refrain). Also, make sure your score is in the key your going to sing in. Sometimes, pianists can transpose, but we shouldn't have to. I love the idea of finding a simplified accompaniment for some pieces.
Hi I’m auditioning for Lafayette and I will sing “Be our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast

I auditioned with "Silent Night" for "Bye Bye Birdie"...albeit I was like 9, it was days before Christmas, and I was auditioning for my first musical with NO idea you had to prepare a song until 2 minutes prior to being shoved on stage, shaking and nervous with the new knowledge that I was completely unprepared. Good times.
I literally can't think of a worse song to audition with for any musical than Silent fucking Night.
Hahaha! At least you sang something
i auditioned for the little mermaid when i was 8 with the icarly theme song

LERDerp you win
HAHA I LOVE THIS
ok this actually made me laugh, you win
Yea u win
That is the best thing ever. I would cast you purely for originality🤣
I’ve never had a problem of picking the wrong song because every show I’ve done has blatantly stated, “Here are all of the songs from the show we are doing to audition with, and here are the songs that your vocal range must use at the audition.”
Not sure if this counts but I turned “Sincerely Me” into a prefect (school thing) audition. Yes, I did the ‘sincerely meeEEEEeeeee, sincerely me.” Part.
Did you do the very beginning part? You do know which part I'm referring to, right?
How did you manage that as a solo in the beginning 😭 also did you book it

@@sofiaa8321 Ooh great!!! Let me know what part you got! I'm doing Grease right now and rehearsals are going great! I am only ensemble (you had to be 14/5+ to get a main cast just because of the maturity of the musical) but it is so much fun!
My worst audition song: Freak the Freak Out from Victorious
Holy cow! This comment went viral 😱

“Hi I will be auditioning for the role of John Lauren’s and will be singing ‘If I could tell her’ from Dear even Hansen.”
My worst one was very recent actually.
I was auditioning for Mean Girls (Regina) and I used Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish (We could use any genre song)…. Yeah not the best decision. I was ensemble.
Cool! I auditioned for Gretchen but I got Cady lol
Well, ensemble is still important!
i sang “stars” from les miserables.
i was a 12 year old girl at the time.
i was trying out for wendy in “peter pan jr.”
I sang Javert's suicide, and I'm a girl, and it was for Beauty and the beast...
Similar experience!!! I was 14 and sang You'll be Back from Hamilton. I was auditioning for Jane Banks in Mary Poppins
i sang dear theodosia for a candy man kid in willy wonka jr
I love that song. My dad used to sing it for auditions. I think I’d cover it but not use it in an audition context.
I once sang “Your Welcome” from Moana
I was auditioning for Charlie in Willy Wonka
*I was nine*

“I’m auditioning for Quasimodo in Hunchback, and I’ll be singing Guns and Ships from Hamilton”
Underrated comment lol
"Hello, today I'll be auditioning as Angelica Hamilton, and I'll be singing Sincerely Me from Dear Evan Hansen"
“Dear Alexander we’ve been way too out of touch, things have been crazy and it sucks that we don’t talk that much”
Biggest mistake I ever did was auditioning in the first place
Why beat yourself down. I auditioned for a musical for the first time this year even though i knew that i wouldn't get a role. I did it for the auditioning experience.
@@tanatya6352 I feel like it's a little bit different when you weren't that eager to audition in the first place but your friend, who ran the auditions, eventually convinced you and then you find out they knew you probably weren't going to make the audition in the first place, so you auditioned against your will for no reason and never want to do it again
@@hellogoditsmesara3569 I guess i just have a different perspective on auditioning because i have done it only a couple of time. I suppose that if you are more of a professional you will do it only if you believe you can make it.
@@tanatya6352 I would be far from saying I'm a professional, but usually I'm behind the curtain so being on stage isn't my cup of tea. I'd rather not be encouraged to audition when I've 1. already expressed interest in stage managing instead, and 2. not have a chance of making the role anyway and have it reasserted in my mind that I had the right idea that I don't have any business being on stage.
@@hellogoditsmesara3569 Alright. If stage management is what you are passionate about good for you. Go for.
she didn’t say I couldn’t sing the Adams administration...
Me at my audition: YoU fAt mOthEr (beeeeeeep)
Laurlizaisbetter_ thenhamliza yesss omg!!
Le Wats if your not a hamilton you won’t get it
Woah, how you gonna make the beep noise???
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very much yes!
Hahahaha
As a director, I hate these types of lists; they're more overdone than the songs they say are overdone and always make broad generalizations. A fellow director put it best, don't assume to know what I want or don't want - ask. Some directors may not want to hear certain songs, others don't care. One director may want to hear any song, so long as it's not from the show you're auditioning for; another director, like myself, may prefer you sing a song from the show, to get a better idea if or how you might fit into that production. Make no assumptions. Ask.
The only given going into an audition is that, whatever you sing, it should showcase the strengths of your voice; and invariably be appropriate for the tone of the show you're trying out for. That's it. Anything else is just one person's opinion. Even if 100 other people share that opinion, it doesn't matter much if you're auditioning for 101st person who has a different perspective.
I remember one time we did the musical “The little Mermaid” for our school show, and my friend started straight-up *RIFFING* in ‘Part of Your World: Reprise’
She just... did it.
Hi I'm Max and I'll be auditioning for J.D from Heather's and I'll be singing "You'll be back-"
It makes sense-
Heard it in his voice
