I have used the Singers Musical Theater Anthology books too. My only problem with them is that many of the songs that I sing as a baritone are in the tenor book. "On The Street Where You Live" comes to mind. One more thing to consider is that you can also change the key of a song to suit your
voice if you have a good piano player. Irving Berlin could only write music in one key, so the arrangers placed the music for " Annie Get Your Gun" in a key that suited Ethel Murman's voice well. I also found Fred Silver's "Auditioning for the Musical Theater" to be a valuable resource.
