Callbacks (as needed)
Callbacks are scheduled after auditions and serve as a way for directors to see more of some people—for lots of reasons!—than they were able to see in general auditions.
-
If you're not asked to callbacks, it doesn't mean you're not in the show!
-
If you're asked to callbacks, the directors will send you a short portion of a song from the show to prepare, which you'll sing in a group setting
-
Callbacks will also involve cold readings from the script with your fellow auditioners
