The playing ages are 16-60, please see the character list for more details.
What accents should be used?
New York / generic American accent for all bar Doralee and Dwayne, they will need a Texan accent.
What if I want to audition for multiple roles?
If you want to be considered for multiple roles then please pick your number one choice and learn the audition pieces for that part. Please also list the other parts you are interested in and you will then be considered for a recall for a different character.
Are the songs in the same key as the cast recording?
Yes, if you want to listen to the cast recording to get an idea of the songs then they are in the same key, although we'd suggest practising to the piano backing tracks provided on the 'Singing' page.
What vocal ranges are you looking for?
Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass - so as long as you can do the audition pieces then you'll be fine.

No, there will be a pianist at the audition.
The backing tracks are slower/faster than I’d like
You’ll be able to ask the pianist at the audition to play at your preferred speed.
