So, here's the way this is going to work.It's first come, first-serve, but for the first week this is posted, musical theater majors get first pick of everything, then in the second week, musical theater minors and acting/singing/dancing majors get their pick, in the third week, everyone else can come first-come, first-serve on everything that's left.Once again, this is now first-come, first-serve.
I will be looking at your character's application to make sure it makes sense that your character is playing the role they signed up for. For example, if you apply for the role of Fiyero and your character is a low bass, he won't get the part. If you apply for the role of Elphaba and yet your character can't sing or sing well enough, she won't be playing Elphaba. For those who don't know, here's how things usually go down:
Lead Roles and Supporting Are usually played by musical theater actors or actor-singers. They can usually be pulled off if the actor/singer is not as strong in dance as they are in the other disciplines, but they still must be able to dance.
Non-Singing By musical theater or "straight theater" actors.
Ensemble Is usually filled with dancers who can sing decently.
Crew There can sometimes be multiple people in these positions, although most will be stage hands doing the grunt work. Actors may double up for crew, but usually not for the most powerful positions
The most powerful positions (director, assistant director, choreographer, music directer, etc) are usually filled by teachers.
Here are few tips for in-character:
1.) Do not sing a song from a well-known Broadway show. Or a well-known song.
2.) Do not sing a song from that show...unless you are absolutely sure they will cast you in that role...just don't sing from that show regardless
3.) Be wary of doing well-known monologues
4.) Be polite -- remember, they want to know what you're like to work with every day as much as they want to see your talent
5.) Know your type -- go for a part which you could realistically play.
6.) FOR THE LOVE OF THEATERGODS, DO NOT SING A POP SONG!!!! (This includes rock, indie, rap, country, etc.) Acceptable audition songs include: songs from musicals, classical/opera or jazz standards. For best results with this musical, sing a contemporary musical theater song. Disney songs are tolerated, but not encouraged.
