Audition Requirements:
Please prepare a 32 bar (~30 second) cut from a song that fits the style of the show and suits your voice.

Avoid modern pop music and musicals from very different genres (“My Shot” Hamilton or “No Way” from Six, for example, will not tell us how your voice will fit into this show!)
Your audition should be memorized and show your ability to portray the character’s emotions, mannerisms, etc.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
