What is a good audition song for Guys and Dolls?

What song should I choose for my audition for Damn Yankees?

  • I'm sorry, I've asked a similar question before, but since then I've done some research, and I've narrowed the songs down to 6. They are Show Off (The Drowsy Chaperone), Bring on the Men (Jekyll and Hyde), I Enjoy Being a Girl (Flower Drum Song), I Cain't Say No (Oklahoma), and Adelaide's Lament (Guys and Dolls) and If My Friends Could See Me Now (Sweet Charity). Which song do you think is most appropriate for the audition considering the female characters Lola, Meg, Doris? Or do you think there is a better fitting song? Thanks in advance!

  • Answer:

    You have some great choices. "If my friends could see me know" best fits the style of Damn Yankees, so I would go with that one. I probably would steer away form the Rogers and Hammerstein--too cutesy. Good luck

I'd say you need something big and belting. Especially for Meg ("Six Months Out of Every Year" and Doris "Shoeless Joe from Hannibel, Mo"). I like the idea of you singing "Johnny One Note" from Babes in Arms. It's not quite as common as other audition songs, but it's not an unknown either. And it's a belter. I wouldn't go with Adelaide's Lament or I Can't Say No. They're great songs, but a bit too conversational for Lola, Meg, and Doris' styles.

Oh, for heaven's sake, if it's Damn Yankees, why not sing Whatever Lola Wants?? If you absolutely won't sing that, I suggest If My Friends Could See Me Now. Good luck!

I suggest I Enjoy Being A Girl. My school just did that musical. And it's a good idea not to do a song from the show your auditioning for.

I was just about to suggest "I enjoy being a girl" for Lola. For Meg "Adelaide's Lament." Those are great songs. You should learn them all in the future for your repitoire. Good Luck and let us know if you get the part.
