You want to go for something unpopular. I have just come out of college studying a national diploma in musical theatre so I know a thing or too.
You don't want to go for popular songs, it will just turn into an impersonation of the song or will just be boring because the theatre director has heard it a thousand times. Also if you really want to go into detail, always pick a song that is similar to the Aladdin score/sound track as it helps with casting
Here are some nice musical theatre songs that have always worked for my auditions
Missing you (my bill) - American Civil War
You're daddy's son - Ragtime ( my favourite)
On my own - Les Mis
What I did for love - A chorus line
Not for the life of me - Throughly modern millie
Listen to them on youtube,
let me know if you need more help :) ]
Hmm...so many to choose from...you could try something from Hairspray if you think you can pull it off. Umm...there is always Grease if all else fails. Wicked would be fantastic to sing.
Suggestions:
You Can't Stop The Beat-Hairspray
Hopelessly Devoted to You-Grease (This one is kinda hard so do this one only if you are sure you can pull it off)
Defying Gravity-Wicked
Popular-Wicked
Those are some of my suggestions! Good luck! ]
