Audition Requirements

Only those wishing to audition for the roles of Harold Hill, Marian Paroo, the men's quartet, Marcellus, Winthrop, and Amaryllis need to prepare a musical selection for audition. All others may be asked to sing a well-known song such as Happy Birthday for vocal placement.

All auditioners will be provided with a script at registration to do a cold reading and will be taught a short choreography. Please wear comfortable clothes that will allow ease of movement and dance shoes or athletic shoes.
