Audition   Requirements: 

Singing
All auditionees will be required to sing. If you come to on September 19 or 20, your vocal audition will be private; if you come to the open call, you will be asked to sing publicly.

Please prepare one song for the audition. We strongly suggest that it is not from the show (with the following exceptions), but it should be in a similar style. If you are auditioning for Adelaide, Nicely-Nicely Johnson, or Sarah Brown, you may choose to sing “Adelaide’s Lament,” “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat,” or “If I Were a Bell,” respectively; however, you may also choose to prepare a song that is not from this show.

Bring sheet music for your song to the audition (unless you’ve chosen one of the three songs above).

Acting
If you are interested in a speaking role, you will be asked to do one or more cold reads from the script.

Dancing
All auditionees will be required to dance. This will be fairly basic, and will be done in groups on all three days.
If you are auditioning primarily as a dancer, please prepare a 1-minute audition piece. The style may be ballet, modern, jazz, tap, or Latin. Please bring a CD or iPod with your music.
If you are not auditioning primarily as a dancer, you may choose to prepare a dance audition, but this is not mandatory.
