AUDITION LOGISTICS

• SIGN-UP:
  • Fill out the online audition form (includes choosing a time slot)

  • INTRO: Prepare to give an intro about yourself - name, pronouns, which character(s) interest you, and something you find interesting about Prohibition, Bootlegging, Art Deco, Jazz, or some other relevant cultural aspect of 1927.
  • MUSIC: Prepare a 16-32 bar cut of a song in the style of the show that showcases your vocal range and technique. Be prepared to sing a capella; we will also do a range check with scales as part of the process.

  • ACTING: If you are trying out for Max, we will have you read Max’s specific monologue as we will not be calling back for that role. Otherwise, no readings or monologues needed; we will do those at callbacks.

  • Callbacks are in-person only. If you are unable to attend callbacks, you will still be considered, however people who attend will have a larger body of audition work for the team to consider.
  • Callback materials are available to look at ahead of time
  • CHOREO: Will include a tap combination for potential featured dancers. 
  • MUSIC: Some leads  will work on character-specific songs with the music director during the callback.

ABOUT THE SHOW

A hilarious new screwball comedy, "NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT" pokes fun at the Prohibition era in a clash of elegant socialites and boorish bootleggers, all set to the glorious songs of George and Ira Gershwin. 

Highlights from the score include: “Fascinating Rhythm,” “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off,” “Someone To Watch Over Me,” “Sweet and Low Down,” “Delishious” and the title song.
