GROUP AUDITION

All auditionees will be required to participate in a group audition involving group choreography. Group choreography is also for anyone going for Male Roles or Mrs Braithwaite. Anyone going for Adult Billy please prepare 4×8’s of choreography highlighting your strengths to the dream sequence music.

• Saturday (Adults): 9:00am – 10:00am, with an additional tap session from 10:00am – 10:30am
• Sunday (Kids): 9:00am – 10:00am, with an additional tap session from 10:00am – 10:30am

Following the group audition, some may be invited for individual auditions.

INDIVIDUAL AUDITIONS

Individual audition times will be scheduled throughout the weekend. During your audition, expect to:

• Sing your selected song(s) and have your vocal range tested
• Read dialogue and do some more movement as required
• Ensemble to prepare specific ensemble music from the group call as well as songs listed
• If you are interested in another role, please be prepared to sing something for them all, though we may not need to hear everything

If you need some assistance learning the music material, please reach out to Billy and he can send you something to listen to.

A pianist will accompany all vocal auditions (no backing tracks). The sections of music you will be asked to sing are marked in the materials sent to you. Please be aware that your audition may be recorded to aid the production team in casting.

NOTIFICATION OF AUDITION OUTCOME
We will try where possible to notify you by phone, however, if there are large numbers of
auditionees we may inform those who are unsuccessful by email. Every attempt will be made to finalise the cast as soon as possible but please be aware this can sometimes take a while.
