At least 1 song should be a traditional musical theatre piece -i.e. Gershwin, Porter, Coward, Rodgers and Hart, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner & Lowe, etc. The second song need not be traditional musical theatre - it need not even be a musical theatre song - it should be a piece   that shows your strength and your vocal range. Please note: we may only hear one song.

Please note: There will be two auditions: the first audition is 1 song performed for music director Paul Sportelli.  There will be callbacks later that afternoon where 1 monologue  PLUS 1 of your 2 songs will be performed for Jackie Maxwell. 

An accompanist will be provided for musical auditions. Please bring your own music.
