Jessica,
I'd be careful with using photocopies. It seems to me like most auditioners do not mind this practice, but I know some colleges and conservatories do not permit any photocopies at all for use during the audition. I've even heard of "inspectors" coming to a local college (with a large music program) at the end of the spring semester (a big recital season) to search for people violating the copy write laws. I figure, if you do have the original copy, certainly lend that to your accompanist. I understand that copies can be easier to read, but sometimes it's not worth the chance. But the only trouble that I've heard of concerning copies is for college entrance auditions, not your regular show auditions. It seems impractical not to use photocopies for a musical theater audition, when you want to be sure to have varying material on hand. I hope I could be of some help. I'm curious to hear what others have to say about this topic also.
