GROUP AUDITION
All auditionees will be required to participate in a group audition involving harmony singing and group choreography. After registration at 8:30am, group auditions will begin at 9:00am on Saturday and Sunday. After the group audition you may be invited back for an individual audition.
INDIVIDUAL AUDITIONS
Individual audition times will occur at various times over the weekend. In your audition you can expect to sing your song/s and have your vocal range tested, read your dialogue, and possibly do some more movement. 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 are auditioning for an ensemble role you will be asked to firstly sing some of the ensemble audition music from the group call, and secondly to pick one of the available ensemble solos and audition with this music.
CHOIR AUDITION
All choir auditionees will be required to participate in a group audition from 7:30pm until 10pm on Monday 20th May involving harmony singing. You will be asked to prepare/be familiar with some music beforehand and taught some new music on the day. Your vocal range, sight-singing, ability to respond to direction and style, and blend within a group will be tested. Chorus members will finally be asked to sing their part in small groups.
A pianist will be used for all vocal auditions. Backing tracks will not be accepted. 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.

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.
