Do I need to do dancing, singing and libretto auditions?
Our House is a juke box musical so we require everyone to take part in a dancing, singing and dialogue audition. We will be considering all levels of dancers and movers, so please do not be put off. For dance and singing, the requirements depend on what part you are auditioning for. Please see the character list page for details
What are the ages of the cast ?
The playing ages are 16-25 for the main 3 boys and girls. Reecey can be a year or two older to start. The adults will be of varying ages.
What accents should be used?
We would be looking at a "Camden" accent (NW London) so softer than East End/Cockney.
Callum will need a Scottish accent.
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?
The singing in this show doesn't fit into the typical Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass - so as long as you can do the audition pieces then you'll be fine
Will/can I use backing tracks in the actual audition?
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
What if I am not available for the audition dates?
We always try to cast every main part on the audition day but maybe able to see people for wanting to join the ensemble at a later date
When are rehearsals?
Rehearsals will start in October 2022 and will be Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7.30pm - 10pm. Sunday rehearsals will be from 12th February. 2pm-6pm. The venue will be in Lillington (Leamington Spa).
