What to Prepare
Song:
Prepare 2 songs, totaling 16–32 bars or under 3 minutes combined, from musical theater, pop, rock, or R&B in the style of the show you are auditioning for. An accompanist will be provided. You may perform material from the show, but it is not required.
Please note: You may not be asked to perform both songs during your audition.
Actors are also welcome to bring a track. If using a track, please have it downloaded and cued on your device with the volume set to a medium level.
Dance:
Not all actors will be asked to dance. If you are invited to the dance callback, please come prepared to move. Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear for a short dance combination.
We are seeking dynamic dancers and acrobats for both productions; however, both shows will feature a mix of vocal and movement skillsets, so all levels of dance ability are encouraged to audition. If you more of an actor/singer, please sign up for an audition appointment. If you are a dancer/gymnast, please attend the dance call on Sunday, March 22, at 12:00 at WWST Studios, 129 E. Alder, Suite B.
