Auditions
Students ages 8-18 who are enrolled in CYT classes are invited to audition for the current production. Auditions consist of a one-minute audition side, chosen from the list that will be posted here by Sunday, August 25th. Each singing role has a specific range the students must be able to sing. The Students will perform their vocal cut live for the Artistic Team, and then learn and perform a short dance routine. The audition process may also include a “callback” in which a student may be asked to read for a speaking role in the show. Auditions are a wonderful way for students to gain self-confidence and to show the best of their talents!
Audition music can be downloaded HERE. Please note that student should choose the song they sing best - that shows their vocal ability - regardless of the character role singing. For "The Perfect Nanny" both boys and girls should sing the entire cut even though it is mostly being sung by Jane.
