Which audition song?

I'm 13 and I'm trying out for Sound of Music at a community theater. I'm trying to decide which song to sing for the audition. Oh, I can sing really low, and kind of high. these are my choices:

1. "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables

2. "On My Own" from Les Miserables

3. "Memory" from Cats

4. "Far from the Home I Love" from Fiddler on the roof.

I have the piano music for the first three and a CD for the 4th one. Please tell me which one I should do or if you think I should do something different. but please try to stick with the ones listed.

Thanks!

I think this depends on which part you are trying out for. If you are trying out for the chorus, the one you sing best would be a good choice. Only do songs you can do with piano. Ideally you should learn "I am Sixteen Going on Seventeen"..although it is a duet, in community theatre it might be a part that you could get or maybe one of the other children, depending on the age range in the theatre group. It's also a pretty easy song to learn and you can get the music on-line. Another good choice would be "My Favorite Things." I think "Memory" is way over auditioned and "On My Own" is only good if you can REALLY sing it well. I personally love "I Dreamed a Dream," but it is also used a lot. Knowing songs from the stage musical you are auditioning for and being familiar with the characters in the stage musical (not the movie) are important. If you can't do a song from the show, at least do a song from the period. You also may have to dance. If they don't allow you to sing the whole song , chose the part that best shows your range and your acting. Most importantly know what you are singing, sing with feeling and don't add a lot of grace notes (i.e. American Idol). Break a leg!
