WHAT TO PREPARE?
- Review the audition packet: Follies Audition Packet
- Complete audition form prior to auditions: https://forms.gle/xMuhJ1svQV4wsKDB6
- Those auditioning are asked to prepare 16 measures of a Sondheim song, which can be from the show, and have music available for the accompanist. No A Cappella please. You will be taught a simple dance routine and there will be cold readings from the script. The readings will be given at the time of auditions. Here is a great resource for preparing a song for auditions: https://www.pianotrax.com/musical/follies
