“I Believe In You” from How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

Audition song suggestions for the character Amy (mezzo)

However thoughtful and intelligent she is, she somehow misses the fact that she is deeply frightened of marriage itself until the day of her wedding.

This actor must have impeccable comedic timing and conquer one of the greatest patter songs of all time.

Audition song suggestions for the character April (mezzo)
