We will begin vocal auditions with people singing something of your choice that you know well, and are comfortable with. PLEASE BRING SHEET MUSIC! No sheet music might mean no accompaniment!
If you are interested in specific roles, it might advantage you to prepare some of a song the character sings, as we might get into that at call backs. Additionally, basic familiarity with the show will undoubtedly be helpful.
