Audition Songs
All auditionees will be asked to prepare two song selections.
Memorization is not necessary, but is helpful when working on the inflection and emotion of the song.
Please note: We are singing in keys that are different from the Original Broadway musical, as they are better suited for the High School Level.
NOTE: None of the pdf accompaniments are exactly like the karaoke versions. Please use the pdfs as a guide. Thank you for being flexible!
