It is called Those Were the Good Old Days. Is is a good audition song?

no! Beucause Judas isn't totally evil! Okay, yeah so he did ditch Jesus, and that was terrible, but that WWJD part of my brain is telling me that he's sort of forgiven, so he isn't the devil!

Okay, back my Catholic school girl rant... For an audtion, maybe, if you can sing it well and if it highlights your acting skills. If you director wants Judas to be protrayed as the ultimate evil, than sure. If not, just don't base it all on thinking "Oh, Judas must be with the devil..."

thank you. So a patter song would be better? How about the major general song from Pirated of Penzance?

I think Those Were the Good Old Days would be okay. It's vocally and stylistically similar to Judas' material in Godspell. The two characters don't have to be one and the same in order to audition with the song.
