Audition requirements
 
Those auditioning should come prepared to sing 16 measures of a song that they have already learnt, preferably from a Musical.  An accompanist will be provided.  Please bring a copy of the sheet music for the accompanist. Pre-recorded accompaniment may not be used.
 
Those auditioning will also be asked to participate in a simple dance audition.  The dance moves will be taught at the audition.  Those who are being considered for principal dancers will be taught and auditioned with a more complex routine.
 
Following the singing and dancing audition, those who are being considered for lead roles may be asked to remain for further audition.  There will most likely be call-backs for lead roles a few days following the main audition dates.
 
It is understood that those auditioning may be stronger and weaker in various areas (singing, acting, dancing), but they will still be asked to participate in all parts of the audition.
 
Rehearsal Schedule
 
Details of rehearsal schedule will be available at the auditions.  We will begin rehearsing in the first week of January 2010.  Generally, the full cast is only required to rehearse on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons, until the final week (see below).  Lead actors will be expected to come to weeknight rehearsals as necessary.  Special groups, such as dancers, will likely be scheduled for a rehearsal on one weeknight each week.  In the final week before the performances, the full cast rehearses every evening.  Special consideration is given to children, so that they are not asked to remain at rehearsal too late on school nights.
