What to Prepare:
- Please sign up for an audition time. Walk-ins are welcomed but will be assigned to the first available audition slot.
- Please prepare 16 to 32 bars of a song that demonstrates your best vocal ability that is not from Legally Blonde. Make sure your sheet music is in the proper key and your cuts clearly marked for the accompanist. Vocalizing will also take place to determine vocal range.
- Monologues are not necessary-acting ability will be judged by the “selling” of your song.
- Please bring shoes and clothing appropriate for a dance audition, as you will be asked to participate in a dance choreography combination. The combination will be taught during the audition, but a video of the combination will be available prior to the audition.
- Please provide a copy of your theatrical resume and headshot, if you have one.
- Note: Performers must be 18+ to audition for this show.
Callbacks will include singing songs from the show and performing cold readings from the script.

Therefore, we are respectfully requiring all individuals who are cast in this show to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by the first rehearsal, subject to reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities or sincerely held religious beliefs that preclude vaccination.
