WHAT TO PREPARE
- Prepare 16–32 bars of one ballad and one uptempo song from a musical theatre show (not from the upcoming season). Provide sheet music or a karaoke track — an accompanist will be provided. No a cappella.
- Alternatively, you may present a choreographed dance (not to exceed 1 minute) in place of your second song. Dance-heavy shows include ON YOUR FEET, FROZEN, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, and HAIRSPRAY.
- If using a karaoke track, submit it in advance at: forms.gle/RYxndwYsQJnRuzGn6
- Note your preferred shows in the audition form. Review the Character Breakdown for age, ethnicity, and/or gender requirements (character age need not match actor age).
- Video auditions are accepted — select "VIDEO ONLY" in the audition form and submit your URL.
