What to prepare?
Download and learn the audition songs and script extracts in advance of your audition.
You can audition for more than one character.
The songs that you audition with may not be the ones we use in the show. So please don’t worry if that particular song doesn’t suit your range, or voice type. Please just give your best attempt and really characterise each song. During the rehearsal process we will find the right key for you and even change the song and find one that might be better suited to you and the story.
During the auditions, what matters most to us is your passion, enthusiasm, and a willingness to put in the effort and trust the process. We can’t wait to see what you bring!
