PLEASE be prepared with your song when you come to auditions. We may not have time to teach anything depending on how many people audition. If two songs are listed for a character, learn the first one for auditions. The second song will only be used if we need to hear more. Vocals/harmonies for this show are difficult and on the higher side (especially Jerry). You must be able to sing. Reading music is not necessary, but being able to learn parts by listening is a must (not just listening to the CD, but to parts played during rehearsal). Singing only with the accompanist. No acapella or singing with pre-recorded music. You may be asked to sing other songs from the show with no preparation. You will be taught the music should this be the case. If you have any questions, please contact the Music Director, Steve Woznicki, at [email protected] All files can be found on my DROPBOX site.
