AUDITION INFORMATION:
Parents must remain with their child for the entire audition process.
Please wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing. Dance shoes are optional.
Both casts will be taught choreography and will perform in groups for the audition.
Every child will be cast in the show.
Cast list will be emailed out after the auditions (or callbacks for Elite) and you will be asked to accept or decline at that time.
There is NO FEE to audition.
Elite Cast
** Please prepare 32 bars of a song. You will need to bring your sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. **
Junior Cast
Please prepare approximately 1 minute of a song. You will need to bring a karaoke track and your own device to play or stream it from (i.e. iPad, iPod, cell phone).
Auditions will begin promptly at their scheduled times. Please do not arrive late. Choreography will be taught at the beginning of the auditions. If you miss this part of the auditions, it WILL NOT be retaught.
You can arrive up to 30 minutes prior to the audition time to fill out your paperwork and get a number. Numbers will be given out when completed paperwork is turned in. #1 will be the first to audition and also the first to leave.
You may also bring a headshot and resume, to attach to the audition sheet. This is NOT necessary.
Callback notices (for Elite Cast) will be given out after the individual auditions. If you are asked to come back you will be emailed sides (rehearsal material you must read through). This material does not need to be memorized, but you should be prepared to perform it in small groups at the callback audition. You do NOT need to be called back to be cast in the show.
If you cannot come to the audition dates please contact us. You may submit a video audition to be in the ensemble.
Please be sure to list your rehearsal schedule conflicts on your audition sheet. You cannot be cast in the show if you have conflicts with tech week or show dates.
Please contact us with any questions.
