Good auditioning song tenor

I have dealt with this issue many times from the soprano end of the spectrum, as I do perform professionally in both genres. (It certainly makes one a little more employable!) A few suggestions for you:
"Maria": West Side Story
"The Impossible Dream" (in C, or higher if you like!)
"Bring Him Home" (Les Mis)
"Love Changes Everything" (Aspects Of Love)
"You'll Never Walk Alone" (Carousel)
If you haven't already done so, check out some Alfie Boe & Michael Ball musical theatre compilation albums for more inspiration, maybe? Also, pretty much all the old-style musical theatre "male lead" songs (of the Rogers & Hammerstein-type vein) work well for classical tenor voices (especially when transposed into the perfect key for you!) It's only the more modern "rock opera"-type shows that might not show your voice off as well, perhaps.
Hope this helps! - Let me know how you get on

try "On The Street Where You Live" as 1 lyric tenor to another it has everything you need.

Thank you for your reply! You are right, this piece is really good, I just thought that it was too "classical" for someone.

Thank you for so many good suggestions! They have been really useful! You are wonderful!

I have studied "Anthem" and "On the street you live"
I could add also "Into the fire" (form Scarlet Pimpernel) that is good piece if someone asks you to sing something fast.

I agree with Sani that "all I want to say" (see "Gethsemany") is probably the best song to audition and has been sung to death and also a few words of caution, if you're not strong up to F in Alt it might be beyond you and will show any cracks in technique, plus if you dont also have a strong rock voice it can feel lack lustre, but if you can pull it off be prepared to shed a tear as I have done every time I have performed it.
