If you are serious about a particular few roles, we strongly encourage you to come prepared with having the sides memorized. It is not required, but it helps you stand out in a big way.
How do we evaluate the initial Audition?
Great question! Here is the form that we use (we video-record all auditions so that we can look back on them as well).
CALL BACKS (later the same day as auditions) EVERYONE is invited to callbacks
PART 1 - EVERYONE IS INVITED TO RETURN TO CALL BACKS
Singing specific songs from The Little Mermaid Jr. with other auditioning students
The Music Director will have you sing for one or more roles using music from the actual show. The Audition Music that we will use will be songs from the show. We encourage you to become familiar with the songs from the musical - (see this webpage link for access to this music!)
PART 2
Dance Audition
The Choreographer will take you through a basic routine and then you will perform it on your own in a group setting.
PART 3
Paired Readings and Singing
There will be additional readings with various cast member combinations. We will also have actors do some additional improvisation/acting to get a sense of the best possible role for them, as well as do some various pairing for readings and singing.
Auditions - Offering & Acceptance of Roles
Offering of roles
We will contact families and cast members via email to offer them various roles in the show, and provide some more information about the role.
Accepting/Declining of Roles
Families will be contacted via email with the role(s) their child has been offered. This email has links to formally accept or decline the role. Typically 24 hours to accept/reject their role, at which time we will make additional casting/role calls/decisions and continue until all the roles are filled.
