We prefer that you utilize the electronic audition form whenever possible. Prepare 16 measures of the song of your choice to sing for auditions. An accompanist will be provided for you. Although we intend to use selections from newer Broadway shows to create this show, you are welcome to use an old classic for auditions as well. We’re open to your good ideas. Not all cast members will have solos. Some will be cast in group numbers, duets, trios, etc. Please enter the theatre at the main Box Office doors. We ask that all individuals entering the theatre wear a face covering.
