Anyone wishing to audition for a lead role can sing a 32-bar phrase from any musical from the last 25 years. Auditions will be five minutes in length. Those who plan to audition should come prepared with a karaoke backing track only (no piano accompaniment will be provided).
Anyone wishing to audition for the Hunchback choir must sing an excerpt from a classical piece of music, preferably in Latin or French. The people auditioning can sing selected choir material or use Royal Conservatory music grade 8 or above in their appropriate range. Some understanding of Latin pronunciation is a plus.
Those wishing to audition as an actor are asked to prepare a one-minute monologue that demonstrates vulnerability as an actor.
