Synopsis: The Books of Broadway is a cabaret style revue that highlights selected bodies of literature that have inspired Broadway musicals.  Featuring small excerpt narrations from the books themselves, the Books of Broadway will transport the audience from the written page to the living stage in what will be a heartwarming, toe-tapping experience.

AUDITION TIPS:​

1. Please come to audition with the karaoke track of the song you are auditioning with. We are not providing an accompanist, however, if you would like to bring your own accompanist that would also like to be in the show, please do so. (Note—this is a lightly rehearsed show, both actor and accompanist must be experienced.) You may audition for multiple numbers, however, please but sure to fill out multiple audition time slots.
    

2. If the song is a duet and you want to prepare to sing the song with another actor and audition together you may. Each actor must still fill out their own audition paperwork, but you may sign up for one audition slot.
    

3. There is flexibility allowed in casting.  Songs do not necessarily need to be sung by a person of the gender it was originally written for.  What is important is that you choose a song that showcases your vocal range well, and that your acting choices make sense.
    

4. Minor students may bring one parent/guardian with you during the audition.

REHEARSALS:

Masks are recommended at rehearsals when you are not performing/singing.

 

As a cabaret, this show is minimally rehearsed and most rehearsals will be one on one with director/music director. Most rehearsals will be Saturdays and/or Sundays, though there may be some weekday evenings.

​

We will have a required set-up day, tech and dress rehearsal prior to performance.
