- One of the provided musical sections from a song in the show, selected based on the character for whom you are most in auditioning (if you’re interested in multiple characters, please select one musical section). For those auditioning for the ensemble, please select one of the two sections provided. Musical Sections can be accessed at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10DsXM5ujnSkeo1Z6ov1Ny0kySgXSVf_8
Youth auditionees (ages 9-13) may choose to prepare either one or both of the song choices listed above.
Some auditionees may be asked to do a vocal range test or a cold read after their vocal audition. All auditionees will need to participate in the dance call, either before or after their vocal audition. Please make sure you wear comfortable clothing that you can move in easily and bring a pair of indoor shoes with you (running shoes, jazz shoes, or ballet shoes are fine.
