What to Prepare
Music: Please come prepared to sing a 1 minute excerpt from any Broadway song (songs from Shrek are ok, or any other Broadway musical) that you feel comfortable singing and that showcases your voice. You may bring sheet music for our accompanist for songs that are not in Shrek (we have the Shrek music), or provide a karaoke track. A cappella auditions are discouraged.
Dance: A short FUN dance sequence will be taught at auditions to see how you move. A dance tutorial video of what will be taught will be posted on our website soon. Don’t be intimidated by this! We may ask some actors to learn a second short dance sequence for callbacks and will provide more information at that time.
Acting: We will have you do some readings from the script at auditions. View the sides you may be asked to read at auditions HERE. You may be asked to read for roles you may not have listed as preferred roles.
Attire: Please wear audition appropriate attire (business casual), but remember there will be dancing so wear or bring shoes you can move in.
