Please prepare sixteen bars of a song from the show, or a song of a similar 
genre. No a cappella auditions will be considered. Please bring sheet music.

All will be expected to do a simple movement audition - certain roles will 
require a more involved dance audition. Come prepared to dance. Men interested 
in the roles of Robert or George, please bring tap shoes.

Actors and singers with a strong sense of comic timing are needed. There is also
