Remember, Front & Center is a rigorous production experience where the expectations are high. Be prepared to commit to this expectation.
For your audition, prepare a Golden Age Musical Number (any musical from 1920-1960) that best shows off your voice. Use an accompaniment track with no vocals or bring sheet music for a piano accompanist.
If you are auditioning for a Dance/Tap Role, be prepared for a dance audition.
You will be provided a reading at the audition to look over and perform in the audition room.
