Frequently Asked Questions about Auditions:

What should I wear to the Dance Audition?

Please wear shoes with flexible soles and comfortable clothing which allows you to move freely.

If I mess up in the Dance Audition, does that mean I automatically won't be in Musical?

Of course not! Messing up in the dance audition is expected. We are looking to see how well you move, if you can make adjustments, and how engaged you are facially in the performance. We know that the material is different from most people's experiences, and we take that into consideration when watching the dance portion of the auditions.

When will I know if I made the Musical?

Audition results will be posted on this website.
