| A lot of questions have been asked about what will would-be rockstars be asked to sing at their Only The Beginning: Songs That Started Something audition this coming Saturday and Sunday, June 23 and 24.
Well, we can safely boast that we have the answers. And so we should as we are the company producing the show! Male Audition Songs: White Wedding by Billy Idol, My Generation by The Who, Turn, Turn, Turn by The Byrds. Female Audition Songs: Material Girl by Madonna, Respect by Aretha Franklin, Sisters (Are Doing It For Themselves) by Annie Lennox / Aretha Franklin. Childrens' Audition Song: Prisoner of Society by The Living End. A list of songs will also be read out at the Information Night that are included in Only The Beginning: Songs That Started Something, and auditionees are most welcome to try their hand at these songs, but will have to perform them to a commercial CD, not a backing track. It is also preferable that any song that is sung in an audition is actually a song from Only The Beginning: Songs That Started Something. Good luck, everyone! |
