Absolutely not! It is great to to audition with a song from that musical specifically because if the director hears how you sing a part in the musical,&you are good, then you have a better chance of getting the part you want, verses singing a different song from a different musical; if the director doesn't know exactly how you sing a given song in that musical, then how is he going to know if you would be good for the part with all the songs?

Well first of all, find a Stage Coach or singing teacher that you can see often (once a week is best). It doesn't matter if it is a group or private, if they do show music or musical theatre, this is a good start. Then, try out a few musical theatre exams, and enter a festival under the show songs category and competitions. These will build you confidence, and give you scope to what other people think of you performing. Audition for shows (AUDITION AUDITION AUDITION, MORE AUDITIONS!) and try out anything, even pantomime! DO what even you can to gain a portfolio and expierence.After a while, if you think you are good enough and you love it more than anything, get an agent, and they will do what they can to get you roles in musical theatre.
When you audition for a musical, the directors generally have a set idea about how they want a song to sound, so they are less likely to choose you by singing a song from the musical that you are auditioning for. Defying gravity would be a better choice for you to sing than Tomorrow.
They will practise, unless they are supremely confident of getting it. If your skills aren't that good and you don't practise, what are the chances that you will get through the audition? Slim.
It is pretty likely that if you go to a musical theater audition that at least one person will attempt popular. So, I guess it is a bit overdone. Don't let that stop you though, if you can sing it, feel confident and like that song it is definatly a good audition piece. Good luck!
But Not For Me from Girl Crazy. It's from the same time frame.
Usually, I'd recommend something very 60s, but there's a more modern song that I love to hear people audition with. It's very hard to sing well, but it's perfect for a hairspray audition. Ain't No Thing from Bring It On the musical
Audition. Next audition- NYC, USA.
You can check online if there's any opening for a audition to sing and where is the audition at. Good luck!!:)
