*WHAT TO EXPECT AT AUDITIONS
All those participating in auditions will be asked to sing a section of “Wait for Me (Reprise)”, Measure 9 – 23 for their initial audition piece.
Start after Hermes says: “And a mind to its undoing”
“Wait for me…so can we, Show the Way”
https://youtu.be/8u1vfsNpVpA?si=DLY9gFU_6cVKFbMG&t=20 until 0:47
The music director will go over this piece on the day of auditions, but it is highly recommended to review it in advance. Additional callback cuts for characters are also listed below in the character descriptions. The creative team will ask some to sing from those cuts on the day of auditions as well, so it is advisable to be familiar with those, too. A link to the songs on YouTube can be found below, along with directional notes. Actors will be asked to learn an excerpt of choreography from the show, so wear appropriate clothing and footwear (no sandals, crocs, etc) to allow for comfortable movement.
