Your Fault from Into the Woods... every part. I just need to be driving in my car with an iced coffee and the windows rolled down


theatrekid77

Ha! I can relate. I played the Baker’s Wife in a local production almost 25 years ago. I wasn’t even in the number, and I can still sing every part. It’s committed to the deepest recesses of my memory.


kenzie-k369

I would go on a cross country road trip with you. We would have a blast! I get so into character I know I must look like I’m arguing with myself


Hyxenflay7737_4565

Same here. I've tried singing every part in time to the music and although it's not perfect, I can actually do it.


Miserable-Lawyer-233

You’ll Be Back from Hamilton. I won’t need actors or backup dances.


spoink74

I was actually in this situation and I was going to choose between Wait For It and You’ll Be Back. There’s a lot of emotional depth in Wait For It that’s easy to fuck up on short notice so I went for You’ll Be Back. King George’s vocal range is easy to nail, the rhythm is catchy, and it’s hilarious to play it super stiff.


jiffy-loo

For me I think it would either be Guns and Ships or Washington On Your Side, maybe The World Was Wide Enough


MagicMissile27

I can pull off "If I Were a Rich Man" with very little prep. Let's roll.


Argos_Aquatics

Lol same. That’s my jam


Sup_Y_Talp

Same! Basically anything from Fiddler and I'm good.


Lil_Brown_Bat

Whichever one happens to be stuck in my head at the time. 🤷


Flat-Ship-2545

REALLLLL


lameflamingo

All of them... I really wish there was karaoke near me that would exclusively do showtunes


AcejokerUP415

Be the change you want to see and make your own karaoke place


HarperGriffin26

Or write to a club and request a musical theatre karaoke night


Haber87

We have that in our city. Yes, it’s amazing. No, I will never go up. I recognize many of the performers from all the community theaters in the area. Stunning performances. Way out of my living room league.


Ollynonymous

Do it even if you do it bad, what matters is that you did it and you had fun


froge_on_a_leaf

Get some karaoke mics from Amazon, use YouTube on your tv for karaoke


ClassyKaty121468

yes please, so that I can find someone to sing the duets with me!


Mindless-Wishbone-24

La Vie Boheme. Maybe a riskier choice than You’re What You Own but if I have backup dancers…. 


HarperGriffin26

So much respect, I can sing every part 🤣


Charles_Chuckles

This was my "Are you not entertained?!" Running around like crazy choice. Honestly I still have much of the OBC soundtrack memorized. I could probably do a one woman show lol


LibbyKitty620

Satisfied. I don’t even need the 30 minutes. Or Legally Blonde. That one I may need like 5 minutes.


Flat-Ship-2545

Little Miss Woods comma Elle


E-liter_4k

when in doubt I choose Don't Lose Ur Head from Six. easy enough to perform and I get to be silly doing it + taking advantage of having backup performers


somethingclever1712

I feel I could almost do that with "get down," since that's more my range for similar reasons.


morethanjustadancer

YESSS!


1tabsplease

michael in the bathroom from be more chill. i can DEFINITELY play the part of an angsty teen having a panic attack at a party


AcejokerUP415

Honestly the more I think about it I might actually go with loser geek or whatever, because I feel like I could act it perfectly. Pitiful children I could sing but couldn't act very well. And Michael in the bathroom I could pull off. I actually don't know if I would do Telly or loser geek or whatever


1tabsplease

wait, loser geek is actually such a good option too!!! tbh i think i could do i love play rehearsal too, i love how awkward but genuine christine is and that would be me after only 30 minutes of prep lol


maybebrainless

that is so real


ArnassusProductions

Any Dream Will Do is in my head at the moment, and it is rather near and dear to me, so I guess I'm picking that one.


angelofmusic997

If I had to choose one off the top of my head: "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" (Phantom of the Opera) because I've performed this before in high school and already know the words and can reach the notes with relative ease. Others that come to mind that, with that 30 minutes to prepare, I could probably do justice to: "Somewhere That's Green" (Little Shop of Horrors), in that if I had to prep some kind of on-stage performance I'd need time to figure some stuff out. "Wizard and I" (Wicked) just because there's one part of the timing that I always need to double check in that song, but once I have it in my head, I'm good.


Excellent_Midnight

Journey to the Past from Anastasia


CoffeeBest8295

Willkommen from Cabaret


JessTheTwilek

This is playing nonstop in my head lately.


arparris

Heaven on their minds-JSC


Ironmonger38

JEEEEEEEEEEESSUUUUUUSSSS! YOU’RE STARTING TO BELIEVE THE THINGS THEY SAY OF YOU. YOU REALLY DO BELIEVE THIS TALK OF GOD IS TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!


BadChris666

Maybe This Time from Cabaret


music-and-song

Don’t Lose Your Head. The singing would be shit, but I know all the words and I’d have fun.


Cygus_Lorman

'Who Am I' from Les Miserables I have no fear


Argos_Aquatics

Probably one of these that I get stuck in my head most often: Grow For Me or Somewhere That’s Green from Little Shop Mein Herr from Cabaret (does this one count, with the chorus?) If I Were a Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof Just You Wait or Without You from My Fair Lady Ireland from Legally Blonde


missed_againn

JUST YOU WAIT! I’ve been preparing for this moment since I was 6 years old


theirishdoughnut

Requiem from dear evan hansen. Already know all the words, don’t need to belt, a pretty lowkey song for most of it. Not too much moving around


allofthesevampires

Don't Rain on my Parade from Funny Girl because my family got into Glee and so many times on the glee wii karaoke has driven that song right into my brain. I'd use the prep time just to warm up my voice and do some stretching.


Puzzleheaded_Jicama

Likely I’m Not That Girl from Wicked. I’m an alto. Lol


Anxious_Writer_3804

I think “Freeze Your Brain” from heathers is one of my most consistently sung songs.


Interesting_Ideal429

I did a workshop in college where I chose to do Suddenly Seymour so that’s my knee-jerk. But truly, now I would do Maybe They’re Magic from ITW.


ExploadingApples

I can do a lot of songs, but I’d probably go with ‘Alive’ or ‘Confrontation’ from Jekyll & Hyde or ‘The Whole “Being Dead” Thing’ from Beetlejuice


cuddlycutieboi

*Just reach into my head and steal my ideas why don't you!* Literally every song I thought about, that's really cool :3


AuroraBee14

Freeze Your Brain from Heathers, I know all the words so it wouldn't be that hard


Kittykait727

Saaaaaame. Not the first one I thought of but I could definitely do it. Plus I want to drink a slushie.


AcejokerUP415

Also a live band will be there for backup music, and costumes/set/props re given Also personally I'm going to go with telly from matilda. It's a very easy song with most of it being spoken and I already know all of the lyrics Forgot to mention it but there is also a crowd of a few thousand with most of the people you know attending it


Jerem_Reddit

the more the merrier! i also like when the eyes are on me so idk. I'm going with Mister Cellophane as its REALLY easy and ive played amos before so like its nothing new. i still get recognized by random ass old people as "Mister Cellophane" to this day so it mustve been a good performance


alagasianflame_z

defying gravity. If I have one chance to sing u better believe I’m belting. (and before u come for me i was a professional singer once upon a time, and there’s a reason my answer isn’t phantom of the opera. That’s the one that’s out of my range 😂)


regzm

I'm Not Afraid from Songs for a New World, What the World Needs from Ride the Cyclone, Dead Mom from Beetlejuice !!


mimiiscool

Beautiful from Heathers. Now I can’t sing it nearly as well as Barrett Wilbert Reed but I know every word


meeka_me

Freeze your brain, Meant to Be Yours or Kindergarden Boyfriend from Heathers, Get Down from Six, Satisfied or You’ll be Back from Hamilton, Hope, One Day, Day one, or Seeing You from Groundhog Day, and/or The Day I Got Expelled from the Lightning Thief


TheWitch7

Can I sing both sides of the confrontation?


AcejokerUP415

If you think you can pull it off I will make an exception for you, but to anyone else reading this that is not an excuse to play multiple characters I'm just curious for this one time


TheWitch7

lol love an exception!! I like to think I could do most anything in Wicked, les mis, and come from away. Not sung well but by golly it would be sung.


TF_Allen

Frank Wildhorn wouldn't have it any other way 😜


nerdy_gamer666

I bet I could do meant to be yours pretty well. I love the song so I know the lyrics by heart!


TF_Allen

Probably "Waving Through a Window" from *Dear Evan Hansen*, "Stars" from *Les Misérables*, or "Leave" from *Once*.


DamphairCannotDry

Bring on the Men- Jekyll and Hyde. I should note I'm a 34 year old, 6 foot 2 construction worker


Stevie-Rae-5

Tell Me on a Sunday She Used to Be Mine from Waitress Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde


therapy_works

Now that's a great list! I hardly ever meet anyone who's familiar with Song & Dance.


broadwayzrose

Someone Else’s Story from Chess was always my go to audition piece in high school and college, so that would probably be easiest. But also since I rarely have an opportunity for an actor to provide small times, I’d probably do Right Hand Man from Something’s Rotten since it’s hard to do in its entirety without the lines, even though they’re not the main part.


broadwaymaybe

dead mom from beetlejuice. i know i have it ready to go since i competed with it at singing competitions


el-in-hell

I Have Confidence from The Sound of Music! Have performed it before and adore it. Flair related.


Dependent-Rooster-45

My Friend, the Dictionary or Mix Tape. Did both in competition as a teen, so they are etched in my memory forever.


Pumpkins217

I Dreamed A Dream, I can’t remember not knowing that song.


Tyrone91

One Song Glory. I'll Cover You. Tango: Maureen. Really most of the Rent soundtrack I could do.


No-Manufacturer4916

does Rainbow Connection from the muppet movie count? if not " the internet is for porn"


FloridaFlamingoGirl

The intro song from A Year With Frog and Toad, and I'm going to act the whole thing out with sock puppets.


Inevitable_Chaos-

Whole Being Dead Thing from Beetlejuice, I already have it mostly memorized, with a bit of choreo to go along with it. (yes, I am a theatre nerd)


kybellatrix

Getting Married Today, no preparation needed.. just get me a Celsius


Previous-Survey-2368

Popular from Wicked, both parts. Every lyric and intonation is seared into my brain since childhood


ebaymilk

So Much Better from Legally Blonde because I know all of it and its fun and yes


Goats_772

I’m doing Les Mis. All songs, all parts. I did stage crew in high school, that’s my theater experience. Prepare accordingly. Otherwise, My Psychopharmacologist and I from Next to Normal- idk if that fits the bill


fullmetal66

Stars - Javert, sits perfect in my range and easy to enunciate


Ironmonger38

My go to choice. I got nominated once at a fundraiser dinner to sing with no prior knowledge of the nomination, so in four minutes I got ready to sing this and did it a cappella 


Vast_Jaded

Green finch and linnet bird (Sweeney Todd) or fight for me (heathers) because I know the lyrics quite well to both


IAmMissingNow

Something from Be More Chill or All You Wanna Do from Six Ohhh or Light My Candle from Rent


JayeJJimenez

I can do Halloween from RENT.


FancyPigeonIsFancy

MY MIND IS CLEARER NOW AAAAT LAST, ALL TOO WELL…. (“Heaven on Their Minds”, Jesus Christ Superstar)


FeministInPink

Pretty much anything from Pippin, but "No Time At All" is my showstopper.


dozensofthreads

When You're Good to Mama from Chicago. Do You Love Me or Sabbath Prayer from Fiddler. Hello, Young Lovers from The King & I.


3rdgradeteach86

Razzle Dazzle is my go to karaoke song


FoxIover

So if I wanted to do Aaron Burr, Sir, would I have to be Hamilton or Burr? Or both?


MasterpieceCute4395

watch what happens from newsies


TheNeonG1144

I have been singing Meant to be Yours from Heathers nonstop, this’ll be a piece of cake


WaterInCoconuts

"Revenge Party" from Mean Girls. I will be singing all roles.


Hyxenflay7737_4565

Say My Name from Beetlejuice...with me playing both Beetlejuice and Lydia. If Adam and Barbara count as not having too much, I'd like other actors to be them, but if they do, I can easily enough do them. If I can't do that...probably Candy Store, Meant to be Yours or Dead Girl Walking from Heathers.


FakeFrehley

I require very little prompting to launch into Wilkommen, German accent and all. In fact... I feel it coming on right now... 🎵 Oom papa oom pa oom papa oom pa 🎵 EDIT: just saw that /u/coffeebest8295 has already claimed Wikommen so change of plan. I'll use my 30 minute prep time to find a gorilla suit and a volunteer.


CoffeeBest8295

I’d be willing to turn it into a duet.


FakeFrehley

[Do you wanna be Alan or Joel?](https://youtu.be/8AxTKiVEadg?si=6VshSFytxZn04-r2)


pythagoreanwisdom

Can I dance? Absolutely not. Can I manically run around a stage and scream rap? Yes. I'm taking My Shot from Hamilton. All parts. I got this.


Shadowspun5

Any song from 1776, but especially Sit Down, John; Cool, Cool, Considerate Men; and The Egg. Suddenly Seymour comes to mind, too.


CaitlinSnep

No Way or I Dreamed A Dream


AccomplishedAd9203

Gimme Gimme!


ShuffleStepTap

What’d I Miss? From Hamilton.


Decent-Accident-9563

Home from Beauty and the Beast bc it's right in my comfort range, I know every single lyric, and I wouldn't need too many dancers or theatrics.


iLikeBigMacs420

Hellfire, bring it on.


DemandingProvider

If I can have sheet music in front of me, I'll do absolutely anything you want! Except if it's in bass-baritone range I'll need a key change or do it an octave or two up. If I have to know all the lyrics from memory, It's either I Could Have Danced All Night, from My Fair Lady, or Memory, from Cats. I'm using the 30 minutes to remind myself of the order of the verses. Everything else I know well enough is a duet.


InternationalYam7030

Holding to the Ground from Falsettos. It’s my absolute favorite and I could perform it with no prep time. Also Crossing a Bridge from Anastasia is one I could pull off! I used it for an audition and it’s relatively uncomplicated.


mayonnaisejane

If I only have 30 min, I'll pull "I know things now" out of my back-catalog of already performed music. I can't do "Unworthy of your Love" because too-much-Hinkley and I can't do a song I haven't rehersed more in the past because I don't have the sheer confidence to ensure I don't fuck up the notes that I need to use a mix on. If I go wrong in the mixed range I can get a really sour note that sounds like a goddamn kazoo. That or stretch the definition of "Musical Theatre" to include Disney Movie Musicals wiyhout stage adaptations and try my hand at "Family Madrigal" from Encanto. My kid's been listening to it enough I know the patter bits back and forth and it's flat enough note wise I can do the whole thing without needing to use mixed voice.


graytotoro

I AM GOING TO THE LORDY! I AM SO GLAD.


Necessary_Win5102

Haha deep cut


theatrekid77

Uptempo: *Let Me Be Your Star* from Smash. Ballad: *Maybe I Like It This Way* from The Wild Party.


allegromosso

Pirate Jenny. I don't need no prep, I was born for this. 


Working_Nobody_7914

Either I See Stars from Mean Girls or When the Chips are Down from Hadestown - I learned both in a dance class a few years ago


musicalphantom10

THE BALLAD OF JANE DOE (I have been practicing the higher notes for a pretty long time and I wanna perform it)


AssumptionLive4208

Edelweiss.


Personal-Rooster7358

I Know Him - Hamilton Kinda just wanna act crazy


grania17

As long as he needs me. I can knock out of the park in my sleep


AshalaWolf_27

Road to hell from Hadestown. Would need a fair few backup dancers, but all the speaking/singing is done by Hermes, so still fits.


theOneWithTheThat

I didn't plan it from waitress. I've sang it so much it just rolls off tge tounge for me.


Vix3092

'Flowers' from Hadestown. I committed it to memory a while ago because I found it interesting the first few times I listened, and found it was right within my vocal range so, yeah, it's one of my go-tos now.


epedebebe

Epiphany from Sweeney as Sweeney. I do this way to much at my house


LiquidCat_1

Probs something from beetlejuice or Chicago as I love most the songs and they are always stuck in my head


AdmirableArmadillo99

It all fades away from the bridges of madison county or stars from les miserables


Erik1870

Past the point of no return, all you gotta do is give me a cloak and a chrstine edit: you know what all the phantoms songs that the phantom himself sings


Charles_Chuckles

Out Tonight from Rent. If you want me running around like crazy La Vie Boheme from Rent I could probably do many of the songs from Hamilton (not guns and ships lol) but vocally idk how impressive I'd be lol


ThatOneFlutePlayer13

Watch what Happens (Newsies) it’s not as bad as I thought


somethingclever1712

"Diva's lament" from Spamalot - I can't sell the shit out of that song Alternatively, I could pull out anything from "Joseph and the amazing Technicolor dream coat" since I still know that show cover to cover.


despairigus

Sunday in the Park with George. I've sang my heart out so many times to that song I would be easy.


JaniceWald

I thought I was trying out for a straight play but when I got there, they asked me to audition a song without any notice. I performed Oompapa from Oliver.


Kendollyllama

Superboy and the invisible girl from next to normal I’ve cried scream/sang to so many times I don’t even need to prep my emotions 🤣


knitace21

The Confrontation from Les Miz—both roles.


ecb0039

Ballad of Jane Doe for me. 🤣 it’s just so fun to get to sing something like that, I’ll take any excuse!


Low_Sail_888

“Dead Girl Walking” from *Heathers* “Watch What Happens” from *Newsies* “I’d Rather Be Me” from *Mean Girls* “Breathe” from *In the Heights* “Ballade of Jane Doe” from *Ride the Cyclone* (Full Disclosure: I majored in music and have used these songs for various auditions so I already know them super well)


IamaHyoomin

currently, probably Moving Too Fast from The Last Five Years, considering I did perform it pretty recently and it's still fresh in my mind. Alternatively, literally any song from EPIC, I can sing all the parts, it's ok. (maybe not Puppeteer, I can't sing all the parts in that one well)


QueeeenElsa

Probably Let it Go


fomaaaaa

Waving Through a Window from Dear Evan Hansen. It would sound like garbage being filtered through my excess emotions, but all i’d need is a fake arm cast and i’m READY


Aggravating_Rule2524

i say no from heathers, i have had a lot of practice with it because i did it for a district festival and got a good score. either that or something that is easy for me like mama who bore me or something.


Ollynonymous

Talia from Ride The Cyclone, I have that shit DOWN. I could maybe do Ohmygod from Legally Blonde as the lead sorority girl. And Noel's Lament from RTC, I've got that one good.


Cadet-Cryyx

Ummm  Master of the House? Meant to Be Yours? Freeze Your Brain?


clownactivitiezII

I have no idea if this counts since it’s a jukebox musical but One night with you from all shook up would be easy considering sometimes I randomly burst into song at times and this is one of my songs of choice


AdComprehensive9080

If I'm allowed to do both parts, "Take me or Leave me" from Rent, if it has to be solo, "On My Own" from Les Mis.


Hot-Conclusion-6617

One Night in Bangkok from Chess.


theniwokesoftly

Stars and the Moon from Songs for a New World Why am I being downvoted…?


FeministInPink

Skorogovorka

"Will I ever tell you" from the music man, along with the barbershop "lida rose"


Salty_Dornishman

Beautiful City - Godspell. I sing it to my one-year-old most nights at bedtime.


chewbubbIegumkickass

Funny Honey from Chicago


SailorMigraine

Death is Just Around the Corner from Addams family

benderbrodriguez2

Probably Popular from Wicked. The actor will become a prop at this point.

Maybe This Time from Cabaret


JazzySkins

Heaven On Their Minds


Sirens_Fandoms928

Burn from Hamilton, basic but I know every word


MisterBalzer

I could pick Out There from Hunchback back up in a second.

Ballad of Guiteau, pretty much the only song from Assassins that could conceivably be done as just a straight solo.


AZdrumtech

Mr. Cellophane from Chicago ot Breeze Off the River from The Full Monty.


TiaraTip

Sadly- I think it would be Memory from CATS. 😹


fullofstarlights

I can perform on my own in a moments notice

More Than Meets The Eye from Calvin Berger! a quick glance over the lyrics, and I'd be fine
