Inga Davis-Rutter is a West End audition/rehearsal pianist, and coaches musical theatre at many performing arts colleges including Trinity Laban, LSMT, Royal Academy of Music, Mountview, Millenium Performing Arts, PPA, MTA. In 2023, she published a list of audition songs; from her position at the piano, Inga had written down every song brought into a musical theater audition for which she was playing between the years of 2016 and 2023. She then listed these songs in order from “most appeared” to “least appeared” and published it on social media with a “do with this what you will” message for the public. Though the topic of singing “overdone” songs could be endlessly picked apart by musical theatre professionals, the fact remains: many singers are on the hunt for a “lesser done” song. My colleague Adam and I would like to perform a lecture recital on some lesser done songs that might serve as good alternatives for some of the more popular audition pieces.
