Those auditioning should bring a current headshot and resume stapled together back-to-back. Please prepare a brief song (16-32 bars). Bring sheet music in the correct key - an accompanist will be provided but will not transpose. Acapella is not encouraged. Those auditioning may sing from the show for which they are interested. Time permitting, you may be asked to read – sides will be provided in the room. Dance callbacks will be held at the end of each morning and afternoon session. If asked to dance, please bring appropriate dance attire and footwear, (including tap shoes, if possible). 

These auditions are for adults only (18 years and older). Youth actor auditions for The Sound of Music will be held at a later date.

Ensemble callbacks will be held in NYC on Feb 9.  Principal callbacks will be held in NYC on Feb 14 and 15.

PLEASE NOTE: We will be operating at a very strict, limited capacity. Those auditioning may not enter the building until 15 minutes prior to their scheduled session. Please arrive as “audition ready” as possible. Changing areas and warmup space will be limited. Once you are released, you may be asked to leave the building to allow space for the next session’s attendees.
