I'm going to the Hairspray open calls this Thursday and I really need help with an audition song. It says to prepare a "brief 1960's-style pop song showing range." I'm going to be auditioning for Penny and Amber. I am usually a soprano 1/2, but I have a strong belting voice as well. I have played Zaneeta in The Music Man, who kind of reminds me of Penny.

Oh....and is anyone else going to these auditions?

Might be more 50's than 60's, but what about "Since I Don't have You"?. Other than that, you could maybe try "It's My Party".

Ok, good. Thank you so much..... I wasn't really too sure if I should even go through with it because I had never heard of the website before, but I'm going! And.....I still need a song! I actually went as far as e-mailing Kerry Butler to ask her what song she sang for her audition and she told me it was a 50's song and she sang it "really nerdy" (to fit the part of Penny.)

Ahh, groovy. Good luck! I don't know what to suggest; I know a lot of 50's/60's songs, but I'm not sure what would be a good song to show range... Hmm. I wish I had a better idea. If I were you I'd sing something reminiscent of the old girl groups like Diana Ross/the Supremes, the Marvelettes, etc. Something Motown, definitely. But nerdy? I dunno.

I realize that this response probably isn't going to help you at all, but at least you have my support! Lol, sorry.

No, it's totally fine! I love support !! haha. welllll anyway... I semi-picked a song but it's not definate because I don't really think it shows much range and I'm not really really good at it. It's "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss.)" Any more suggestions?
