i found this post about rtc audition songs and then lost it but i have some ideas too

please let me know if youre the op or you know who the op is so i can credit them for the idea :)

also keep in mind i have literally no audition experience i just picked songs i thought fit thematically

ocean

don't rain on my parade - funny girl

i have never actually seen funny girl, but i associate this song so strongly with rachel berry that i literally have to use this one for ocean too.

adore me - black friday

linda monroe brags a lot in this song so i feel like it could work.

you wish you were me - austin and ally

this one is a joke but depending on how casual the theatre company you're auditioning for is it actually could work. rtc is a silly show after all.

noel

show stoppin' number - the guy who didnt like musicals

a vaguely flamboyant number AND it's professor hidgens talking about a dream of his. i think it works similarly enough to noel's lament. only thing is you might need stand ins for greg and stu at the end.

you gotta die sometime - falsettos

it literally handles the subject of death and it's whizzer. boom. perfect noel song.

i'm not a loser - spongebob the musical

you might need someone for the sea anenome chorus line but if you play it a bit differently than just being squidward i could see it working

mischa

epic III - hadestown (the 2017 or broadway version)

you might have to pitch this one down considering the fact that mischa is a baritenor, but it definitely gives off talia vibes let's just say that

it's over, isn't it - steven universe (PITCHED DOWN)

this song also works pretty well. not a huge steven universe fan but i love this song and the heartbreak in it is just as palpable as talia.

satisfied - hamilton (pitched the heck down)

you'd need people to sing eliza's part and have someone else (or the same person) do the talking parts, etc. but it's a song about never being able to have the person you're yearning for AND it involves rapping so it covers both bases.

constance

kindergarten boyfriend - heathers

mistreated socially anxious best friend? sounds a bit like constance doesn't it. also ties into constance's self esteem issues 'certain girls are meant to be alone'

waving through a window - dear evan hansen (pitched up or left as is)

you get the opportunity to act out some fun low self esteem/life passing you by, as well as do some really loud belts which works for sugarcloud. might wanna pitch it up because if you're not a contralto the low notes might not be hittable for you (is that a word?)

micheal in the bathroom - be more chill (pitched up)

wow another mistreated socially anxious best friend!!! who knew

ricky

gotta be honest. no idea. i have not found a song that comes even close to the insanity of space age bachelor man or captures ricky's personality.

jane

home - beetlejuice

idk man it deals with death & staring into the black empty void of nothingness. that works. probably.

karnak

karnak doesnt really sing but in the event that you want an audition song i'd say the hole which is a cut song from beetlejuice. it's very nihilistic and beetlejuice and karnak serve similar roles as the hole is basically just the other side from rtc
