AUDITION MATERIALS
ALL, AGES 8-12 (Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious):
It’s...
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
FEMALES, AGES 13-18 (Practically Perfect):
By the time the wind has blown the weather vane around,
I'll show you if I can,
No matter what the circumstance for one thing I'm renowned,
My character is spit spot spic and span,
I'm practically perfect in every way,
Practically Perfect
So people say,
Each virtue virtually knows no bound,
Each trait is great and patently sound,
I'm practically perfect from head to toe,
If I had a fault it would never dare to show,
I'm so practically perfect in every way.
MALES, AGES 13-18 (Jolly Holliday):
Oh, it's a jolly holiday
With Mary
Mary makes your 'eart so light
When the day is gray
And ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright!
Oh 'appiness is bloomin'
All around 'er
The daffoldils are smilin'
At the dove
When Mary 'olds your 'and
You feel so grand
Your 'eart starts beatin'
Like a big brass band
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
