Question about my D’s song choice for MT college auditions- if the song is great but the show was a flop- Any warnings against choosing songs from bad shows? Also, other than the usual ALWebber, Sondheim, current Broadway etc no-no’s for song choice, are there any newly “hated” songs auditioners should avoid?
Highly recommend you take this to the musical theatre board.
In general though, a good song from a flop is not a problem.

Nothing wrong with singing a song from a musical that was a flop.
Generally, avoid songs from current Broadway productions, overdone and signature songs. Some schools (CCM I believe) have “do not sing” lists on their websites. Also, if you search @VoiceTeacher postings, he has given some excellent advice.
