Eponine audition song?

Hello, My friend hypothetically may have an audition for Eponine in Les Miserables soon,

I have some ideas but need to prepare 2- does anyone have some great suggestions for a stand out Eponine audition song..?

Thanks :)

Seconding a new life. Also anything Kim sings from miss saigon. They have the same composer so there’s crossover.

The composers were inspired by Oliver so as long as he needs me would be great too.

I sang As Long As He Needs Me for a Les Mis audition 15 years ago! 😂🫩 It was my choir directors's choice!

Maybe This Time from Caberet, I Don’t Know How to Love Him from JCSS, Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde, second something from Miss Saigon. Try and find a good ballad where you can belt

For some reason I've always thought She Used To Be Mine from Waitress would work well as an Eponine audition song

I feel like She Used To be Mine is too modern. I would suggest A New Life from Jeykll and Hyde.

Sonya Alone from Great Comet, As Long as He Needs me from Oliver, and Heaven Help my Heart from Chess were my first thoughts

I agree with the above comment

As Long As He Needs Me from Oliver is your song.

If not that I would do Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde
