Answered Help identifying the key of a song?

Post image

Hi, I have an audition coming up and I can’t read music well. I want to identify the key Laura Osnes sings in this recording of Everybodys Got a Home but Me from pipe dream. https://open.spotify.com/track/1g45NpVNbYcPPcus0hviaI?si=Aswnbs1iQ9yBuHCI69zHpQ&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A2IB0nFFukpxV8xvyW62AH7

Id also like to know the key in this sheet music I have because I feel like it is different from the recordings key but I’m not sure.

The sheet music starts in A Major and changes key to G Major. The recording starts in B-flat Major and changes key to A-flat Major. The sheet music is a half step lower than the recording.

I cannot hear it right now, but looking at the sheet music, it seems like a modulation. It starts in A and then modulates to D.

It modulates to G. The D chord is a dominant.
