Audition Information

Students will sign up for an hour audition slot via the form below. An email will be sent to you confirming your audition time and will give you additional information about the audition. Additionally, when students sign up for an audition, they will be sent a video of a short dance audition to learn and a link to upload their dance. All auditioning students must submit a dance audition. For the in-person portion, there will be no more than 10 students per audition slot. Students are only allowed one non-auditioning family member in the room. Each student needs to prepare a song to sing for auditions, between 60-90 seconds (see below for song suggestions). Students can sing with a pre-recorded track, bring an accompanist, or sing a cappella. Once everyone has sung, students will be asked to read short scenes from the show. 

Students do not need to attend both nights of auditions.
