What is a legit song?

‘Legit’ refers to a genre of musical theatre singing that is heavily influenced by traditional, classical voice training and vocal styles. The term ‘legit’ is short for ‘legitimate’, but that does NOT mean other musical theatre vocal genres and styles are ‘illegitimate’ or inferior in any way.

Should I audition with a song from the show?

It is always a good idea to choose a song that is in a similar style as the show you are auditioning for. Also think about the character you are auditioning for. Consider a softer tune if you are auditioning for an ingenue, or something with a hard edge if you are trying out for a bad boy.
