A girl a couple of years ago sung Dance Ten, Looks Three at an audition for The Sound of Music.
I was shocked.
The worst thing was, she was auditioning for one of the nuns.

That story just made my night

When I used to do Auditions with my local Youth Theatre Company, they always gave you a specific song to sing if you were auditioning or a paticular part. this is of course to prevent embarrasment of some of the less experienced cast members.
But when a showcase dinner evening was organised last year the director and producer, in their wisdom, said people could choose their own songs so they could pick who would do a solo performance in this showcase.
By the end of the day I was sick of: A Whole New World, one set of girls even bought their own carpet. On My Own, about 5 girls sang that. Wishing you were somehow here again, again about 5 girls sang it.
and finally songs from Oliver, the reason being Oliver was on the cards as our next show. so a few of the girsl who really wanted Nancy sang "As long as he needs me" only one of them pulled it off.
The worst thing however was the fact that one of the girls was the daughter of the owner of the hotel we would be performing at. So she had been garunteed a solo spot. Howvr she's one of those girls who can sin fine on her own, but in front of an audience goes completely out of key. and what song had she prepared? Defying Gravity from Wicked.
Luckily I persuaded her not to so instead? she picked On My own. which she got. not only was it the totally wrong song for her voice type but also they put her parents on the tabvle closest to the stage. obviously becuase they own the hotel. and her parents are really pushy, proper showbiz parents. lets just say she butchered the song completely. Sadly you can't say that to her when she comes off stage.
Another story I've just thought of, reguarding the same girl. was the fact that she was cast as the understudy for Dorothy in our production of Wizard Of Oz. which meant she would get one performance during the matinee. This was again most likely to keep her dad happy, because we'd been using a room in his hotel as a rehersal room on a tuesday evening.
her "Over the Rainbow" wasn't as bad as her "On My Own" but she still went out of key a few times. However, the NODA representative who was reviewing Wizard was a friend of this girl's grandmother and decided to review the saturday matinee performance. Not only did this mean that the girl who had been playing the part of Dorothy the rest of the week didn't get a mention. but also the reviewer used the phrase "Close your eyes and you could actually see Judy Garland."

Report from the awful song choices from Sound of Music auditions:
"On My Own" - Les Mis (OLD woman, too. awkward.)
"There's No Business Like Show Business" - Annie Get Your Gun (another older woman...wtfff??)
"I Can Hear The Bells" - Hairspray (freshman girl in HS)
"A Change In Me" - Beauty and the Beast (girl my age, my competition for Liesl)
...needless to say. I feel prreeettyyyy good about it.

Oh. I must be missing something, but what's so bad about "A Change In Me"? I mean, it's not something I would pick for SOM, but it doesn't strike me as an "OMFG HORRIBLE" choice, lol. The other three, though...  Ha.
Like sopranoopianoo, I made some bad choices when I was younger. For some reason, it took me a while to understand the concept of choosing an audition song that suits the show, role, etc as well as suiting your age/gender (lol). Of course when I was a kid it didn't really matter because I wasn't up for any major roles anyways, just looking to fill out the chorus, hehe. So I would just grab a random book of vocal selections from the library and choose whatever I felt like singing at the time. Oh dear.

No, it's not the worst choice at all. She sounded okay, too...from what I heard (except she forgot the words...), but I just don't think it's appropriate for the show.

...And of course we know Allie kicked her ass.
Lol yeah, I agree it's not exactly right for SOM. I was just wondering if there was something about the song that made it a horrible choice to you.

Haha...I sent her evil vibes, if that counts. LOL.
My friend and I were laughing because she is an alto, and a purely character actress, and she was like, "dude...altos get along so much better than sopranos"...
I think it's true!! When I meet another soprano ingenue, I shoot daggers out of my eyes. but the other alto character actresses are like, "HEYYYY!! you played fred?? me too!! lets have coffee!!!"
i'm sure that's now how it is in the 'real world'...but it seems like that here! lol.

slightly off topic concerning Dance Ten Looks Three. It's just REALLY REALLY REAALLLLY not a good idea to pull this song outta the show for any reason.
2 summers ago, I was doing a Broadway comedy song concert, and we basically all got to sing thru dozens of possibilities during the short rehearsel process then narrow it down to the funniest/best when settling the running order for the show.
The musical dir. is also founder/artistic director of this award winning theatre. The type of pianist you can say "would this sound better down a fifth?" and he can immediately launch into a new key barely thinking about it.
WELL a few days into rehearsel he came up to me w/ the sheet for Dance 10. I stammered and said I think I'm much too old to get away w/ it. I was hoping the song would be shelved. Instead he asked another woman, mid 20s, and rather famous in the area.
Opening night she's out there in a cocktail dress and towering high heels launching into this "comedy" number. As soon as she got to the "tits" chorus you could feel the waves of hostility washing over the footlights from the blue haired audience. I was standing in the wings w/ her boyfriend. We are both whispering "oh, no." "I knew this wasn't a good idea". "Poor thing, now they hate her", She threw herself into the song w/ lots of frenetic movement and tried to ignore the audience.
She had to do it every night for 2 more weeks. It wasn't a good thing.

Ya know, it actually is sort of like that. The only soprano I actually have as a good friend is the gal that was our HS choir director for three years...almost all of my friends are altos.

When I was helping my friend cast a show of B&TB for a highschool. We had a lot of "Happy birthdays" and "twinkle twinkle little stars". A bunch of of "part of your worlds". But the best and funniest was a guy who came in with very little experience and kind of a class clown type. He ended up singing 16bars from the black eyed peas "my humps"with choreography. Hilarious. He didnt get callback but he did get cast in the chorus. Mainly for his dancing and comic ability.

Why do you say that? I don't see why it couldn't work for a musical revue, as long as the audience isn't just a bunch of blue-hairs. Not trying to argue as I respect that you are infinitely more knowledgeable about theater than I am, lol, just curious as to why you feel that way.

It just comes off tacky if you don't have the whole set up of Val as a character. You have 45 minutes of seeing her look perky and charming before she launches into the potty-mouth. Sticking the number in a review is either met w/ shock from people who've never heard it, or eye rolling from those who have. You have to set up the desparation of getting a chorus job in the first number - then see how far everyone has gone to get those jobs. Falls flat every time w/ out the set up.

OK, this is probably an urban legend, though my good friend SWEARS he saw it happen at an audition once:
You know the song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", where it goes "you say to-MAY-to, I say to-MAH-to; you say po-TAY-to, I say po-TAH-to..."
He swears that someone got up and sang this, but did not use two different pronunciations of the words, i.e., she sang "You say to-MAY-to, I say to-MAY-to; you say po-TAY-to, I say po-TAY-to..." !!!!
If this really did happen, I don't see how there was one person there who was not ROFL....

Ahhhh. Okay, I see what you mean. I guess I can imagine how the song might seem too brash and wouldn't be funny without the context of the rest of the show... Too bad, though, because it's such a great song. Do you think all the songs from ACL are inappropriate outside of the show, or is it just that one?

I just thought of another bad audition song;
I watched this girl (maybe 15 years old) do Adelaide's Lament. The only problem is that she made herself sound so sick that no understood what song she what doing. No one (including the directors) could hear her or understand her over all of her nose-blowing hystrionics. It was unfortunate and sad to watch.

I saw a girl sing "Cabaret" for a Grey Gardens workshop audition. (that's right, I sat in on the first ever audition for Grey Gardens). and she sang it like this:
"Come hear the wine, come taste the band"............"Life is a Cabaret, old chum, come to the CabaBABABABAret"
(i'm not kidding about the BABABABA part)
it was really funny.

Agreed! It's not like there aren't plenty of other choices for younger women.
Then again, it's equally painful to see an older singer pull out something to show off their non-existent ingenue quality. I actually had to sit through an audition for "Pirates of Penzance" (I was MD) where a woman in her late 50's thought she would audition for Mabel. She sang "Where The Boys Are". Not only age-inappropriate, but completely wrong style for the show.
Needless to say, she was not cast. We considered her for Ruth for about 10 seconds.

Our Adelaide was only 18 when I was in Guys & Dolls. It didn't seem that strange to me, but I can see that it wouldn't be very age appropriate for an audition.

Adelaide isn't age appropriate for anyone under 30. She's been engaged for 14 years. Remember that.

I don't see the problem with it as long as the actress acts like she's in her late 30s/early 40s. Don't forget there is also a Jr. version of this show so there are plenty of younger girls playing Adelaide out there.

Just because it happens doesn't mean it's okay. They simply don't have the maturity to understand the seriousness of an engagement or the frustrations of a prolonged relationship.

While I won't say that young girls can fully understand the depth of the character, there are many high school/college aged young women who have performed this role, including myself, and sang it well. I'm sure that some of them have even done some character study and created a background/feelings for themselves to TRY to understand the character. As long as the person playing the role is putting forth the effort to BELIEVABLY portray the character and looks the part (I'm speaking strictly for professional productions, as not many high school girls/girls that would be in the JR. production look to be in their 30's) then so be it.
However Adelaide's Lament IS a poor choice for auditions, as there it is important to be correct with age appropriateness.

i know its not a musical, but htis kid did a monologue from You're a good man charlie brown for a romeo and juliet audition. he just got up and said "i know it said to use a classical monologue and, well...i consider the peanut gang to be a classic so here goes." it was absurb but he actually did really well at it. i dont think he got cast though.

^An eight-year-old? Who told her that was a good idea?
Fortunately, this is purely hypothetical, but I had a very frustrating conversation with a friend the other day. I asked her what she would sing if she was auditioning for a MT course at a college or similar, ie, two contrasting songs.
HER: Ooh, I don't know ... probably "I'll Know" and "Popular".
ME: ... You know that you're probably erring just a tad on the overdone side, don't you?
HER: What do you mean?
ME: Wicked is just ... don't go there.
HER: What do you mean? Nobody knows about Wicked here! [We're in Australia]
ME:
HER: Besides, it's not like there's any really good songs that aren't overdone!
ME:

^ Thank God she's not actually auditioning.
If the question had been, "What would you sing if you wanted the casting director to throw something at you?" then her answer would have been perfect.
And the idea of an eight-year-old singing "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" is just absolutely terrifying.

At the same audition as the 8-year-old, there was another girl (must have been 15ish) that came in and said.
Girl: I'm singing Acapella Tripic from my school's Women's Choir. It's in Latin. It has 3 parts. That's why it's called a triptic.
^^ the director's face after she said that was PRICELESS
And (if that wasn't enough) the song was literally 15 min. long. I actually timed it.
Some people....

I watched an 18 year old guy sing For Good. Thing was, he only sang the Elphaba part, but he did it off CD WITH vocals! the extra problem was, during the long Glinda part at the beginning, he just roamed around on stage. then he did the unthinkable, he just sat crosslegged at the front of the stage until Elphaba came in. Then he coudlnt even sing it.
Granted, this was for a Talent Show, a very low key one at my highschool, but man, that was rough.

this year at my school...we did Seussical...10... yes 10...sang "Believe" from the Christmas train movie...ITS A TENOR SONG DAMMIT!!!...and they didnt even do well 
...there was this one girl me and the guys were pretty much drooling over...she got up there all pretty and stuff and sang Nella Fantasia...
WAY WRONG!!!...but i will say that she sang it perfectly...better than the Celtic Women...she got a standing ovation  from the 56 people here and almost made me cry...poor thing was cast as a chorus...
shame too cuz i started going out with her and learned later that she wouldve been the most perfectly hysterical Gertrude...
one dude sang "Sunshine of your love" and he played the guitar himself...he was real funny...cast as a Wickersham 
my favorite was alto who sang Phantom of the Opera...which is disgusting...EVERYONE...including the director burst into laughter when she tried to the "Christine scream" at the end...
we all told afterwards "at least your better than Sarah Brightman"

Soprano Hostility is extremely prevalent in my old school (it's sad to call it my old school, but I'm a graduate now). The usual queen bee soprano, who I used to be friendly with, stopped talking to me after I got cast as Maria. Before I got cast, when it was kind of obvious I was going to get it, every single junior soprano 1 was talking about me behind my back. However, they were stupid enough to say it to my boyfriend. Sucks for them, because they just looked stupid when they weren't even cast in the show.

Today my sister had Bye Bye Birdie auditions. You were supposed to sing either English Teacher or One Boy if you were auditioning for any of the female roles. (just to save everyone from having to hear a bunch of crappy audition songs).
Still some girls brought in their own music and, for whatever reason, were allowed to use it:
Her favourites?
Sixteen Going On Seventeen
and our personal favourite...."Only Hope" by Mandy Moore from that movie A Walk To Remember.

Granted, the girl is also extremely talented and would have been perfect. She also did a nice verison of the song, but it was just so wrong for the show.
On the other hand, she was auditioning for the children and they were told to pick any song they wanted, didn't have to be musical theatre.

Kind of. I mean, Down Under where we're shockingly behind in music theatre, Wicked is only just starting to catch on, so it's not as cringe-worthy as it could be (although still not good, IMO ) But when I go to an audition and talk to people who then tell me that they're singing On My Own or whatever ... it takes a huge deal of self-control not to wince.

Okay, adding to the list.
Went to an audition for Jekyll and Hyde on Saturday, and one of the guys at the audition sang "Bear Necessities" from The Jungle Book. If that's not bad enough, he was off-key, and off the music.
A girl there sang "The Girl in 14 G" which wasn't horrible, but you could only hear her during the Wagner/opera part of the song.
Good times . . .
Oh, oh, and the guy who I talked about before(that totally sexed up a random girl while singing Point of No Return) he auditioned with Alive from J+H, and forgot the words after the first 2 lines of the song. I felt badly for him. But at least nobody was molested during his song.
