Please prepare a one (1) minute excerpt of a comic song, not from the show, but in the style of the character(s) for whom you are auditioning for. Please bring sheet music in your key; a piano accompanist will be provided. Please have one or two other selections as alternates. Please bring a headshot and résumé if possible.

 

Callbacks will consist of songs and readings from the show with British accent. Everyone called back will receive sides containing music and scenes. A callback does not guarantee that you will be cast; not being called back does not necessarily mean you have not been cast. 

 

Audition forms - Please complete in advance of your audition time slot. Come prepared with any conflicts that you have during the production period as all rehearsal dates will be shared (generally Monday/Wednesday/Friday with some Sunday evenings).

​

​

Adult actors of all races and genders are encouraged to audition.

This is a non-professional unpaid opportunity
