What we are looking for: Hades Town is an entirely ‘sung through’ musical - so we are looking for an audition piece with speech AND song. You should also choreograph gestures, blocking and think of the emotions behind the words you are saying. E.g. act through the words of the song, express the feeling through your body language and facial expressions.
It would be advantageous if performers can play a musical instrument to grade 5 or above. Guitars, violins and accordions are involved in the piece.
Speech into song: Prepare 2 elements: Hermes speech into Eurydice’s song. There is a Karaoke backing track here to help you practice: Learn Hermes speech and then the song until end of page 91.
