What To Expect At Auditions
Childrens’ auditions
Children are not required to prepare a song for auditions. We will be running a workshop style audition where all children will be taught a section of a song, a short dance routine and participate in some character acting exercises. They should dress in comfortable clothing appropriate for a workshop. We are looking for children auditionees aged between 10-14 years old as at 1st June 2025 (closing performance).
In addition for those children that want to be considered for the roles of Zack (Guitar), Freddie (Drums), Katie (Bass Guitar) and Lawrence (Keyboard) you will need to upload in a video of “Stick It To The Man”. Here are the YouTube videos that teach you how to play "Stick It To The Man". Each video includes a link to the sheet music to give you all you need to learn it ready for auditions.

Adult auditions
All adults and teens (from 15 and above) will be required to prepare an audition song and participate in the dance audition. Auditionees should bring 2 songs to sing - something that showcases their range and versatility. One song in music theatre style and one in a rock style.
You need to bring along with you sheet music for the audition pianist. If page turns are required, it is best to place the sheet music in a plastic sleeve folder or display book and it must be in the correct key. You may use a backing track for the rock style song.
Adults who are auditioning for any of the principal or supporting roles may be required to do a cold read during their vocal audition.
At the completion of both your movement/dance audition (first) and vocal audition (second), you may be given sides (songs and scenes) to prepare for the call back session. You will be required to be familiar with the call back material given to you, but not required to be off book or page down. If you are called back, be prepared to be at the Venue from the scheduled times below as our casting process involves everyone in the room, together, workshopping variations of material so we can mix and match potential actors, see how you connect & communicate, and with us, and how you sound together in an open/transparent room.
