WHAT TO EXPECT AT AUDITIONS
All auditioning performers will be asked to sing a short piece of music from James and the Giant Peach. The music will be provided at auditions, and our Musical Director will teach and review it with everyone that day—no advance preparation is required.
During auditions, the creative team may also introduce additional vocal cuts for specific characters. Some performers may be asked to sing these selections as part of the audition or callback process.
Auditionees will also learn a short excerpt of choreography from the show. Please wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear that allows for movement (no sandals, Crocs, or similar shoes).
