i wouldnt say one of the most sought after rolesi n musical theatre. its a cute role but come on. when you have meaty rolesi n Follies, Sweeney Todd,My Fair Lady, Parade, Into the Woods,Company,Threepenny Opera,Camelot,Gypsy etc... Audrey isnt even a glimmer on the list of most sought after roles.

Alright, I'll have to agree with you this time Salome!
Nonetheless, Audrey is still a great role.
Salome, I have to mention that I chuckled when I made the connection between "meaty" characters and Sweeney Todd!

Looks count everywhere dear, unfortunately. Well, good luck! Maybe you culd try for one of the Doowops? I know they are African American in the movie, but our school cast them as white (just because I live in a teeny southern town with a very small African American population).

Audrey is the lead female, and then there are the three doo-wop girls. Yeah, technically they are African-American, but high schools will usually just go with three strong singers. You have to have three girls who blend well and work together well. Strong voices because of the doo-wop harmonies. And they are on stage A LOT. They're basically like narrators, and they have a lot of songs. If the three of you really work together, you can have a lot of fun. Besides that, there is Mrs. Luce. She sings one verse in "The Meek Shall Inherit." That's it for her. And then there's the ensemble. So, that's what you have in terms of female roles. Please let us know how the audition goes and what you get!

Maybe this is overdone, but I continually hear the suggestion to sing "Happy to keep his dinner warm" from How to Succeed...
The song's subject matter is perfect for Audrey.
