Here you will find all of the information you need to know if you want to audition for a part in the show or want to be involved in the Backstage or Technical support Teams. 

Auditioning - for a part.

• Auditions will take place on Wednesday 15th May and Thursday 16th May 3:00pm - 6:00pm.

• You need to put your name on the sheet in drama for the day you want to audition on.

• The order which names are written on the sheet, is the order you will be auditioned in. 

• Time slots will not be given so you need to be in the audition room, B207 on time. 

• Once your audition is done, you can go home. 

• You need to go to B207 on your audition date for 3pm. This room is in Music. 

• We would like you to sing and act / express yourself through the song you have chosen from the list below. 

• Songs will stop when we feel we have heard enough.  This could be within 30 seconds of the start of the song. This does not mean you have done a bad job, just that we have heard enough for us to make our decision. 

• We will play the Backing Track of your chosen song in the audition, not the sound track. 

• Auditions will be recorded to allow the audition panel to review your audition. This will not be shared or shown to anyone other than the audition panel.  

• You may bring props and / or change into a costume / clothing of your choice but you must be in the holding room in time for your audition. 

• Please take note, there is a limited number of places available in the cast, so not everyone will be able to be cast.

Principles Chorus and Chorus roles

• If you want to be considered for a Principle Chorus or Chorus role, you MUST sing the song Revolting Children.  please start to learn this song now. 

• On Friday 19th April Miss Cannon will record a short 30 second dance and upload it here. You must learn this dance and perform this at your audition whilst singing the song. 

Main roles

• If you want to audition for a main role part (names of the characters are below) - you must sing the song for that role and act / express the song in your audition.
