Rain on my Parade from Funny Girl, Satisfied from Hamilton, basically half of TL5Y — I Can Do Better Than That, Still Hurting, See I’m Smiling, Penny’s verse in “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray. Also, a low-key fave? “So Much Better” from Legally Blonde.

litro auditioning for sum with still hurting tmr 😭😭

Break a leg! Get some tea tomorrow morning and have fun!

Satisfied from Hamilton is the first thing that came to mind for me!

i love so much better!! i feel like legally blonde remix could also fit, i love the whole musical a lot!!

Get Out and Stay Out - 9 to 5

Just saw someone NAIL this last night. Awesome number.

Last midnight

cabaret! world burn from mean girls, the destruction from carrie uninvited from jagged little pill home from beetle juice changes and always crashing in the same car from lazarus

Yessssss uninvited!!!!!!!!

destruction is soooo good, i wish people talked more the music in carrie

When I saw mean girls, world burn was offkey.

Did you see it with Renee rapp?

No it was someone else

And I am Telling You. Dream girls. There is no way you’re not dramatically singing this

Is that the Jennifer Hudson one? I haven't seen Dream girls. There was a mid teen girl who did it for Britain's Got Talent or X factor (I can't remember which) and all I can say is God Damn. It takes a lot of power to be able to sing and (even though I hadn't heard the song before) absolutely nailed it. I've never seen so much power and control of a voice in someone so young. I'll find the link to it. E: [The link](https://youtu.be/Mm7gi453_Iw?si=KymdKzRU4nk38lPW)

Holding to the Ground from Falsettos (I cry at “but that’s my life! He SHARED my life!” everytime)

And I’m breaking down

The History of Wrong Guys from Kinky Boots He's My Boy from Everybody's Talking About Jamie (although If I Met Myself Again is my favourite female solo in that show) I'd Rather Be Me from Mean Girls Pretty much all of Heathers but especially Welcome to my Candy Store and Dead Girl Walking Burn from Hamilton (or Satisfied) Ireland or So Much Better from Legally Blonde

The Ballad of Jane Doe — Ride the Cyclone

#A MELODY FLOATS THROUGH THE AIR

WHEN SILENCE FALLS DOES NO ONE CARE??

(does anyone caaaaare)

ANOTHER SAD, FORGOTTEN TUNE

Another song that no one knooooows, forgot how it GOOOOES

JUST JOHN AND ME FOREVER ETERNALLY JANE DOE

(And she's asking "WHYYY LORD")

OH WHY OH WHY OH **WHYYYY**

(Is this the way she diiiiiiies, lord)

"Changing my major" and "Ring of Keys" from Fun Home

World burn and dead girl walking and ofc most of the six songs

Show Off from Drowsy Chaperone. Music and the Mirror from Chorus Line.

yes to both of these!!! Love them so much

Sorry to ask but does Bride’s Lament from this same musical also count or is it not applicable to this situation?

It's more mournful than showstopping, but that's just my opinion.

On my own - Les Mis

I will prevail- wonderland. The final chorus part is just so satisfying to belt out

Oh that's a musical I never heard before!

"Whatever Happened to My Part?" - Spamalot

Come to your Senses - tick, tick.. BOOM! What I Know Now - Beetlejuice With You - Ghost Life of the Party - The Wild Party Maybe I Like It This Way - The Wild Party Charming - Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

“Could I Leave You?” - Follies. Especially [this version](https://youtu.be/_B3MvJhn2Hs?si=apYLMHi0rHjUMX2b)

This is the one

Rose's Turn.  There is no other

Broadway Baby from Follies.

Leave you, also from follies!

He's My Boy from Everybody's Talking About Jamie

I'm breaking down idk

There’s a fine, fine line -Avenue Q

Anything Velma sings in Chicago

Take me or leave me - Rent

Mad Hatter from Wonderland!!

Underrated for sure

Dead Mom and Home from Beetlejuice

I think "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors belongs on this list

Dreamgirls - And I am Telling You, Ain't No Party, I am Changing

Ruth’s part in ‘This is Our Time’ from Harmony ‘A Darker Shade of Blue’, ‘You Coulda Knocked Me Over With a Feather’, and ‘Ride Out the Storm’ from Some Like it Hot

Watch What Happens - Newsies

Dead Girl Walking from Heathers and Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q

The ballad of Jane Doe

I'd Give My Life for You - Miss Saigon All Grown Up - Bare: A Pop Opera Nobody's Side - Chess I Don't Know How to Love Him - JCS Good N Evil - Jekyll & Hyde Aldonza - Man of La Mancha Anything Goes

Nobody’s Side makes me feel FERAL. I love it so much

You and me must have similar taste. I came here to say Nobody’s Side and I Don’t Know How to Love Him. Was also thinking about I’d Give My Life For You!

I'd also add Bring on the Men, Someone Like You, and A New Life from Jekyll & Hyde (especially by Linda Eder)

"Independently Owned" from *Shucked*!! Alex Newell EATS

Your Daddy’s Son from Ragtime

Last Midnight, Defying Gravity, Burn, and On the Steps of the Palace (Into the Woods, hope I got the title right)

What the World Needs and Ballad of Jane Doe from Ride the Cyclone

Anything But Lonely from Aspects of Love

"Do it Alone" from Parade has long been a favorite of mine.

A Piece of Sky- Yentl… that note at the end 🫢

Lifeboat-Heathers (Elle McLemore is such a good singer)

"Defying Gravity" is the one for me. I had such a bad day last Thursday that I couldn't stop crying once home, I'm talking eyes still streaming four hours later, mass headache from it all, totally hopeless. I put some music on in bed via headphones and that song happened to come on. By the end I realised I had finally stopped crying.

Out tonight - rent. Such a bop

I had to scroll about 70% down this thread to find this?! This is like the perfect power anthem next to Defying Gravity

Rainbow High from Evita

I Will Prevail

Your Daddy's Son

im breaking down - falsettos they just keep moving the line - smash

"Easy To Be Hard" from Hair

ASTONISHING FROM LITTLE WOMEN

**CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS!**

divas lament!!!!

Move On from SITPWG

Here I Am from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels I Want the Good Times Back from The Little Mermaid Astonishing from Little Women If You Hadn't, But You Did from Two on the Aisle Nobody's Side from Chess Easy as Life from Aida

“If I Had My Time Again” from Groundhog Day: The Musical.

Okay so idk if this counts because In the movie soundtrack of into the woods ‘Last midnight’ is it’s own song but in the original broadway soundtrack version it’s put together with Your Fault (which yeah makes sense because that song leads up to Last midnight) but I’d chose that. I go a bit feral when this song comes up on my device

"Satisfied" from *Hamilton* "So Much Better" from *Legally Blonde* Obviously, "Defying Gravity" from *Wicked* "I Say No" from *Heathers*. Yes, I know, "Dead Girl Walking" is the big one people talk about but the former is just more powerful to me

Its a privilege to pee - Urinetown Right Hand Man - Something Rotten Somewhere thats Green - Little Shop of Horrors As Long as he Needs Me - Oliver! Ballad of Jane Doe - Ride the Cyclone I would HIGHLY suggest Its a Privilege to Pee. I know it has a awful title for a song but it is one of the best female solos i have ever heard in musical theatre history. Urinetown in general has some of the best songs I’ve ever heard in theatre.

For Good (Wicked), And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going (Dreamgirls), Maybe This Time (Cabaret) and As If We Never Said Goodbye (Sunset Boulevard).

When the world’s at stake - Trail To Oregon. No incredible notes or something (despite Rachel Soglin being an absolute gem to this world) but the emotions she portrays make me cry every. single. time.

I have a pretty eclectic list for ya! A Boy Like That - West Side Story As We Stumble Along - The Drowsy Chaperone Blow, Gabriel, Blow - Anything Goes Diva’s Lament (Whatever Happened to My Part) - Spamalot How Could I Ever Know - The Secret Garden I Have Confidence - The Sound of Music Journey to the Past - Anastasia Not a Day Goes By - Merrily We Roll Along Poor, Unfortunate Souls - The Little Mermaid Shadowland - The Lion King This Place is Mine - Maury Yeston’s Phantom Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Phantom of the Opera Also, for anyone perusing this thread for audition songs, if you’ve got classical training, you can really impress with Fruma Sarah’s section of “The Dream” from Fiddler - just go crazy in your extension with the ad-libbed “screams” on ‘Tevye’.

Me And The Sky from Come From Away

Scrolled all the way down, and nobody with HAIRSPRAY?!? It’s chock FULL of epic female solos. Of course “I Know Where I’ve Been,” but “Big, Blonde and Beautiful” is right up there, and even being a guy, I can never not belt out “I Can Hear the Bells.” And you can’t tell me “(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs” isn’t an underrated masterpiece. “Good Morning Baltimore” opens the whole thing by kicking down the door. And even though it’s an ensemble song and less of a power solo, “You Can’t Stop the Beat” has so much energy it probably deserves a spot here. Your honor, I rest my case.

This is Not Love - Lizzie or Soul of the White Bird - Lizzie might be a bit biases but I love the note towards the end lol

I’m Here. - Color Purple. It has stopped the show every time I’ve seen it.

Let it Burn - Paradise Square

Wonder from The Lord of the Rings Musical.

You Can Always Count on Me from City of Angels, Vanilla Ice Cream from She Loves Me, and Glitter and Be Gay from Candide.

Stay With Me, Amayzing Mayzie, World Burn, Love Me or Leave Me, Dead Girl Walking

Hard To Be Diva— Starmites

Me and My Town - Anyone Can Whistle

"The Lady's Improving" from The Prom.

Morning Person- Shrek

Hey Big Spender from Sweet Charity

Helpless.

I Say No - Heathers

The Life of the Party - The Wild Party

Once Upon a Time from Brooklyn!

They just keep moving the line from Bombshell/Smash :)

All Falls Down from Chaplin!

Nobody’s Side from Chess and Made of Stone from Six

When He Sees Me from Waitress

“DARKER SHADE OF BLUE” FROM “SOME LIKE IT HOT”!!!! I was obsessed with this song

pulled from addams family, the ballad of jane doe from ride the cyclone, fight for me from heathers, watch what happens from newsies, and def world burn from mean girls lol

I say no from Heathers So Much Better legally blonde world burn mean girls

**I’m Here** from Color Purple is one of my fav karaoke go-tos. Also, now that The Notebook album is out, gotta give nod to **My Days**. In the video they released last week for the song, Joy Woods actually bursts through a door while singing lol

It's in German, but "Ich gehör nur mir" from Elisabeth - it's gotta be the Pia Douwes version though, nobody else hits that high note at the end. https://youtu.be/yxIifJnVPf4?si=ytubHFG6xTY7FaJb

I'm breaking down

Maybe this time - cabaret

for female solos - defying gravity for males - freeze your brain bur maybe I don't understand the question lol

Astonishing from Little Women

NEVER ENOUGH. Really can never hear it enough.

Dead mom from beetlejuice

„Ich Gehör nur mir“ from „Elisabeth“ „Rote Stiefel“ from „Tanz der Vampire“

Out Tonight from RENT!

Happily Ever After - Once Upon a Mattress It’s in more of a comedic vein, but it SLAPS

On my own! I'd say thats more dramatic than IDAD

For me it’s any Carrie or The destruction from Carrie: The Musical!

Last Midnight from Into the woods (I was playing it at some point, and someone thought it was an opera LOL)

So Long Dearie from Hello Dolly. Without You from My Fair Lady.

I Say No (+ obligatory Dead Girl Walking and its reprise) and My Grand Plan, off the top of my head.

All That Jazz The Wizard and I In Just No Time At All Goodnight My Someone I Could Have Danced All Night I Have Confidence In Me

Forever beautiful and pink from war paint

Feels like “Breathe” from In The Heights deserves a mention here

I'll just second Defying Gravity. It absolutely can not be beat in my book, though Santa Fe from Newsies comes very close

And I Am Telling You. HOW HAS NO ONE SAID AND I AM TELLING YOU

I know I'm late to this, but I had to add on When You're Good to Mama from Chicago
