A lot of patience, a team-player attitude, and a fun-loving personality

We do not have specific size requirements, though we prefer to cast performers who are between 5'3" and 5'9". Most of our current costumes are adjustable and can fit a range of sizes. All cast members are required to sing.

What should I bring?
As with any audition, it's important to be prepared! Please bring a headshot (4x6 print). Headshots do not necessarily need to be professional, but they should be current, unfiltered, and show your face clearly. If you have a work or acting resume, we encourage you to bring a copy. Finally, we will ask you to fill out an audition form. We will provide these in advance, so you may print it at home and fill it out ahead of time if you like. We will have additional copies on site, if you prefer to fill it out when you arrive. We are providing 5 audition cuts for you to choose from. You only need to prepare one Cut. Audition forms, Cuts, and other information will be posted
What can I expect?
Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before your time slot is scheduled to start. This will give you time to find the audition room, check in, fill out an audition form, etc. There will be a check-in table outside the audition room. You will be assigned an audition number at this time.
When you are asked to enter the studio, you may take a seat while you wait. The singing portion of the audition will proceed in numerical order, according to the numbers you were assigned at the check-in table. When it is your turn, stand up, introduce yourself, and let us know what you will be singing. While we are providing a variety of Cuts, please note that you only need to choose one. Cuts should be memorized. We will provide instrumental tracks (you will have the opportunity to practice to them in advance). A Cappella singing will not be allowed.
​
After the vocal portion of the audition, we may ask some people to stay for an improvisational portion. If we need to see or hear more from you, we will follow up with an email.
