Please come prepared to sing 16 bars of the song of your choice that will show off your vocal range and ability. You can bring a cd, plug in a phone or tablet, or sheet music. An accompanist will be present. A small movement audition will be required for everyone. Readings will be done with cuts from the script.

Costumes will be rented for this show, so some size consideration is given while casting some roles.
