Meet in the lobby when you arrive.

Here’s how it goes.
No pre-registration, no stress. Walk in, get checked in, and sing.
Arrive
Meet in the VHS auditorium lobby at 9:00 AM with your song ready.
Fill out the form
You’ll be directed to an online form and asked to submit a photo of yourself.
Sing & move
Perform your prepared song, then be taught a portion of a dance as part of a movement audition.
Wait for casting
Rehearsals start in January. Cast list details will follow from the team.
Call-back night: Monday, December 7
Certain auditioners will be called back to call-back night on December 7 in the VHS auditorium. Not being called back does not mean you are not being considered for a role.
Can’t make Saturday the 5th?
There’s one more chance to audition: call-back night on Monday, December 7. These are the only two audition dates. If you want to audition on the 7th, you must email us ahead of time.
The audition form
The online form asks for student and parent/guardian contact info, theatre experience, role preferences, and more. You’ll be directed to it when you arrive. The form is in preview mode right now: you can look at it, but you can’t submit it until December 5.
Come ready to sing.
Every auditioner sings a song at auditions — no exceptions. Choose a song you’re comfortable with and have it ready when you walk in.
Want to be considered for a lead or principal role? We’ll provide song suggestions. They’re only suggestions — prepare whatever you feel most confident performing.
Music options
- Accompaniment tracks: karaoke tracks are welcome.
- Live pianist: we’ll have a pianist in the room if you bring sheet music.
- Your choice: any song you’re comfortable with.
- Movement audition: you’ll also be taught a portion of a dance. Singing and movement are both part of every audition.
Song suggestions.
These are only suggestions. You are not required to sing one of these songs. But if you’re going for one of the roles below, consider these while you prepare.
The Karaoke and Sheet music links open a search for that song (YouTube and Musicnotes), so check that the key and cut suit you. We’ll have a pianist in the room if you bring sheet music.
The roles.
From the palace to the ocean floor, there’s a place for everyone. Roles may be adjusted by the creative team.
Descriptions are general guides to each character. The creative team makes all casting decisions.
