Below, you will find seven song selections we will be using for auditions. Each performer will prepare two brief selections. You only need to learn the first part of the song. Each selection has 2 audio clips (one with guide vocals and one with accompaniment only). After you learn the song, you can then use the accompaniment clip to prepare for the audition. It is preferred that lyrics be memorized, but you may audition with the lyrics if you like.
For your first song, you are to prepare "Big Bad Prologue", which is the first song selection below.
For your second song, you may choose any of the remaining songs. Please listen to all of the selections, then pick a song that you are comfortable singing and best showcases your talents (singing AND acting). You will be considered for all roles (male and female) regardless of your song selection, so pick a song you sing well and like.

SONG LYRICS
BIG BAD PROLOGUE
There he is, I can see his shadow! There he is, I can see his eyes! Burning bright in the distant forest! Can it be that’s his full size? Here he comes like a hungry villain! Here he comes and he seems quite mad! Better run! Better hide the children! Beware this fiendish cad! Big Bad! He’s a social disgrace! Big Bad! Such a criminal face! Big Bad must be locked away! Big Bad should be sent to a shrink! Big Bad should be thrown in the clink! Big Bad has seen his better day!
HAVE MERCY ON ME
Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! I repent! (Chorus: Repent!) Regret! All the things I’ve done! I always get the short end of the stick, when it comes to a delinquent with a bone to pick! I know I’m guilty, but I’m makin’ a plea, have mercy on me! I’ve been investigated, regulated, arbitrated, reinstated, till I’m feelin’ lost and confused. I’ve been incarcerated, incubated, tabulated, terminated, wonder why I’m feelin’ abused. I’ve been the town talk, a thing to mock by Peter Pan to Goldilocks. I’m sick-and-tired of bein’ accused. And now I’m placin’ my life in your hands- I’m takin’ a stand. (Chorus: He’s takin’ a stand!) Have mercy on me! (Chorus: Have mercy!) Have mercy on me! (Chorus: Have mercy! Have mercy!)
I repent! (Chorus: Repent!) Regret! All the things I’ve done! I’m beggin’ please, just gimme a break! And I’m askin’ you to pardon me for every mistake! I know I’m guilty but I’m makin’ my plea, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! Oh, yeah!
I CRIED WOLF
It was early one night; I was sittin’ by a tree, playin’ my flute and tendin’ to the flock. So dang dark, I could hardly see. But I saw that wolf right there! (Wolf: What a crock!) He was sneakin’ through the brush, hidin’ in the bulrush, growlin’, howlin’ makin’ a fuss. He looked my way, I couldn’t stay. I ran and ran like a mad-man, I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf!) I cried wolf!(Chorus: He cried wolf!) One time, two times, three times, I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf!!) When I came back seven sheep were gone and I spied a wolf just lickin’ his chops. Filled his gut from dusk to dawn, It was him, that wolf right there! Before I could flee, he howled like a banshee! Eyes on fire, he came for me. Swung his claws and snapped his jaws; I climbed up a tree like a mad-man! I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf!) I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf!) One time, two times, three times, I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf!) I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf!) I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf!) One time, two times, three times, I cried wolf! (Chorus: He cried wolf! One time, two times, three times, he cried wolf!) I cried wolf! One time, two times, three times, I/he cried wolf!
NO MORE
He’s got a history of hidin’ out and scarin’ little girls in the woods. (Chorus: Uh-huh!) We got a wolf who’s been stealin’ sheep and eatin’ just as much as he could. (Chorus: Uh-huh!) And here’s a poor old woman who was dinner for a thief and a hood! (Chorus: You’re nothin’ but a thief and a hood!) And now The Big Bad Wolf ain’t gonna scare nobody no more! (Chorus: No more!) No more! (Chorus: No more!) I say The Big Bad Wolf ain’t gonna scare nobody no more! (Chorus: No more!) No more! (Chorus: No more!) He’s goin’ straight downtown and he ain’t comin’ ‘round no more! (Chorus: No more!) That’s for sure! (Chorus: No more!) He’s got a history of vandalism, blowin’ down houses for fun. (Chorus: Oh,yeah!) He’s been a-huffin’ and a-puffin’ and a-gettin’ little pigs on the run. (Chorus: Oh,yeah!) Hey Mister Wolf, your prowlin’, criminal days are done!(Chorus: Your criminal days are done!) And now The Big Bad Wolf ain’t gonna eat nobody no more! (Chorus: No more!) No more! (Chorus: No more!) I say The Big Bad Wolf ain’t gonna eat nobody no more! (Chorus: No more!) No more! (Chorus: No more!) He’s goin’ straight downtown and he ain’t comin’ ‘round no more! (Chorus: No more!) That’s for sure! (Chorus: No more!)
MAY ALL YOUR EVER-AFTERS
May all your ever-afters, be filled with joy and laughter. May you have days of glory and a never-ending story. Now that our tale has ended and everything’s looking splendid, you’ll find it’s not that simple. Justice is never black and white. On this night, as you go along, remember that things may not always be as they seem. But we’ll dream as we choose right from wrong, forever after!
HE HUFFED AND HE PUFFED
I was sittin’ on the couch watchin’ Leave it to Beaver when a thundr’ous wind began to blow. It come cuttin’ through the house like a big meat cleaver and it made me shiver head to toe. Then the whole dang house started shakin’ an’ a-swayin’ an’ a-twistin’ an’ a-turnin’ like a top! When I saw Mr. Wolf, he was growlin’ and a-grinnin’. I would soon be one big…pork chop! Then he huffed an’ he puffed an’ he puffed an’ he huffed and he commenced to blow the house down! When the shack started fallin’, I started haulin’. There was nothin’ left but sticks all aroun’.
