AUDITION PREPARATION:
There are only a limited number of roles available in this cast. In advance of the audition, please prepare:

- a monologue that is between 1-2 minutes in length
- a short selection from a Broadway song that matches the tone of the show and the character for which you'll be auditioning. This piece should be no more than around 90 seconds. Please bring recorded accompaniment that can be played from a device (phone, iPad, etc) through our speaker.
- a short selection FROM GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE for a character for which you'd like to audition. Instrumental tracks can be found on YouTube. Please bring recorded accompaniment that can be played from a device (phone, iPad, etc) through our speaker. This also needs to be no more than about 90 seconds.

We are asking for more so that we can fully see what's available from the auditioning pool. This audition will contain a short, warm-up movement piece, but not a choreography combination. Dress comfortably, but you don't have to dress to dance!
