AUDITIONS
Please prepare the song cut for the character you are auditioning for (see list below). The tracks provided below are the tracks that we will be using for auditions.

Be prepared to dance! (There will be an opportunity to change clothes/shoes prior to the dance audition if needed)

You may also be asked to read sides from the script (these will be provided at the audition as needed, not everyone will read) 

Once you arrive at the theater for an audition please check in at the box office. We will start auditions with individual vocal auditions then will move to group dance auditions. If you are not needed to read you will be released after you have sung & danced; those who have been asked to read will stay and do that at the end of the auditions.
