In two weeks, I am going to an audition for Pittsburgh Musical Theater, which is doing Footloose. I really need suggestions for songs that wouldn't be too too hard, but still show some singing talent. I also have to do a monologue, which I do already have which one I'm doing, but how should I prepare for a monologue? Thanks!

Having played Ren in a production of Footloose, I feel like "Can't Stand Still," is a great song from the actual show. Verses and choruses aren't that difficult to do, but there's a part at the end that goes into high falsetto for guys, ending with a James Brown-esque section of "no's." That could really show off a falsetto.



But if you're looking for something more ballad-y, you can always try "Almost Paradise." That's a good one from the show. If you're allowed to audition with songs outside of the show, I've always liked "Make Them Hear You," from Ragtime.



Unless you're a girl. If you are, I have no suggestions. Sorry!
