Question
i am 14 years old and i am auditioning for the part of anybodys in west side story. i need a song that is not from the play but is a song that will reflect her tomboy image. she is a character that wants to be one of the jets(a gang). i am an alto. any info you can give me will be very helpful:) thank you:)

Answer
Hi there Annie...

The best thing I can suggest is that you go to the library and listen to songs from musicals for baritones (males) and see if you can find a song that you can relate to and that can bring out your tom boy side :).

Does that help you?
