What happens at auditions?
What happens at auditions?
You'll get to hear all about our 2025 production, we'll teach you a few of the songs from the show and you'll have a sing as a part of a group (so no solo singing required!). You'll then learn some dance moves, and read a part of our script, and get measured by our friendly costume team.
And while we call it an audition, it's really an opportunity for us to get to know you and for you to get to know us. Everybody aged under 26 who applies for cast gets in!
