Vocal/Dance Audition
Auditions will be held in 90-minute time slots. Be prepared to stay for the full 90 minutes. The dance audition will take place first. Dress comfortably and be prepared to move and wear shoes you can dance in. You will not be tapping at the audition, so tap shoes are not required.
There will be a 10-minute break between the dance auditions and the vocal auditions. If you would like to change clothes for your vocal audition, you will have time to do so, but it is not required or expected.
Vocal auditions will take place after the dance audition. Please prepare a 1 minute cut of a song by Irving Berlin. It can be a song from the show or any other song he has written. An accompanist will be available, but we will also have a speaker available for backing tracks.

Actors auditioning only for Danny should NOT attend in-person auditions. Instead, they should fill out the audition form and submit a video audition to morganecopeland1@gmail.com.
