Auditions

**We aim to accept ALL auditionees into the musical** 

(Only in the event that we cannot fit everyone on stage will there be cuts.)

Read the entire Audition Notice below to prepare for your audition. 

Sign ups will be open mid October using the Audition Form 

AUDITION SCHEDULE

VOCAL/ROLE AUDITIONS: Monday November 17, Tuesday November 18 in the Drama Rm

Mandatory. Prepare 1 minute of a song, sung a capella, similar in style and range to this year’s musical. Expect us to test your range as well so we can determine which choral parts to give you when singing in group numbers. We may ask you to read some of these Sides. No memorization needed, but if you want a speaking role, you should review those parts before the audition.

DANCE AUDITION: Wednesday November 19 on the Stage

Mandatory. One hour learning a dance routine to be performed in small groups. Wear comfortable clothing and bring jazz shoes if you have them. The purpose is to gauge the level of abilities for each cast member so the choreographer can make creative decisions on style, difficulty, feature moments, positioning, etc.

CALL BACKS: Thursday November 20 in the Drama room 164

Mandatory. If you are asked to “Call Backs” for a role, we will email you and attach the side(s) and vocal section(s) to prepare in advance. On your call back day, we will teach you the vocal section and then you will present both the side(s) and sing the vocal section. If you are not asked to call backs, that does not mean you did not get a role. Sometimes we just need to see auditionees one more time before deciding on a specific role. You should get familiar with the Album **Note that the song You Won’t Succeed on Broadway will be replaced with the song You Won’t Succeed in Showbiz.

CAST LIST POSTING

The cast list will be posted by the morning of Friday, November 21

SYNOPSIS

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people.
