Audition Requirements
The audition will consist of the following:

Actors will have a 10-minute audition time. Auditions will be first come, first served and you will sign in at the audition and be seen in the order of sign in. Headshots are highly recommended for your audition application. Resumes are optional but are also great if you have one.
The cast size is 12. We will not expand the cast, so each actor will be playing multiple roles.
Reading: Please prepare 2 contrasting monologues of roughly 1 minute in length each. In addition, actors will be asked to cold read from the script. You will also be asked to read with an accent. Please review the pronunciation guide and be prepared to use it in your monologue OR in the cold read.
Musical Information: Prepare 32 bars of a song in the style of the show (about 90-120 seconds). You can bring a track or an accompanist. There is a piano is available. The director has no preference on whether you prepare a song from the show or something in the style of the show.
Choreography: The choreography videos for auditions are linked here: video 1, video 2. Please be prepared to dance in small groups about every 30 minutes. Based on when you sign in you may dance before your audition, or you may need to wait until the next small group is ready to do the dance portion of your audition. The music starts at about 2:35 of the ‘Finale’ on the soundtrack.
Video Auditions: Video auditions are allowed for this audition. They are due by 4pm on May 9th, 2026. If you’re submitting a video audition, please have your video on Youtube, Google Drive, or similar, with public access set, PRIOR to starting your audition application.
