Audition format will be as follows-
You will be taught a short piece of choreography, followed by a piece of acting improvisation, finishing with singing a small piece from the show. The tracks and sheet music for these are available within the audition group. You will sing both Soprano and Alto Line through each 4 times.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send us a message or get in touch with any member of the creative team.
In addition, please, if you know anyone not on Social Media that would like to chance to audition, get in touch with Jack and he will advise the best way forward.
