Auditions will start promptly at 7pm each night. Enter through Bartell Theatre lobby. You only need to come one night. Please come dressed to move, bring water, and have your calendar for January - March.

You will be taught a dance and then sing. Everyone will be expected to do both. An accompanist will be provided, but bring your own music (32 bars). Choose a song that will be appropriate for the style of this show (contemporary Broadway or jazz, nothing from Cabaret). It will be assumed you are familiar with the show.

No Bob Fosse inspired choreography will be used in this production. No one under 18 will be cast. This will be an R-rated production, so actors should be comfortable with sexualized dancing and costumes, however there will be no actual nudity required.
