Show Audition - What to Prepare & Bring

We know this is a lot of stuff to prepare and bring with you to auditions. Please reach out if you need help or have questions!

Song Selection

We want you to be comfortable and confident at auditions!  If you have a musical theatre song that is in the style/range of the character(s) that you will be auditioning for, then PLEASE audition with that song. Otherwise, choose a musical theater song that you’re comfortable singing.

  • Prepare 16 bars of any musical theatre song

  • Bring sheet music that is clearly marked with your audition cut and be sure that your music is in the correct key as our accompanist will not transpose on the spot

  • Learn more about this process HERE (This video refers to Seussical auditions, but the process is the same)

  • Acapella music will not be considered for an audition

What to Wear

Wear clothes that are comfortable and appropriate that you can move easily in. Please keep your hair tied back away from your face. If you are clean, comfortable and looking your best, you are ready to go! 

Your Audition Checklist

  • HEADSHOT: bring a printed headshot.

    • If you have provided a headshot for a previous show, we will keep it on file for one year. If you have provided a headshot within the last year and are happy with it, you do not need to replace it.

    • Learn more about headshots HERE

  • RESUME: bring a printed resume. If you have any performance experience, show or otherwise, we ask that you provide a resume, this is particularly helpful if you have extensive dance training, vocal training, or can juggle five wuzzles. If you don’t have any performance experience, you may skip this step.

  • SHEET MUSIC: bring your sheet music with your audition cut in the correct key that you'll be singing. See the Song Selection section above for more information.

  • CONFLICTS: note conflicts on audition forms that you can not avoid between January 4 and March 13. It is helpful to be as open as possible about all conflicts ahead of time. Students must be available for all performances to be cast in the show. Review the Show Rehearsal and Performance Schedule.
