Summer 2025 Audition Information

Selecting an
Audition Song

Filming Your
Audition

Finishing
Touches

Performers get to select any song they would like to sing for their audition. Chloe a song that is in the style of the show you're auditioning for, and make sure it showcases YOU! We suggest exploring the following options:
For SHREK THE MUSICAL KIDS:

Any Disney musicals
Matilda the Musical
Dear Edwina the Musical
Junie B Jones the Musical

For LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL:

Bring It On
Mean Girls
9 to 5
Honeymoon in Vegas

Once you've chosen a song, identify ONE MINUTE of the song you'd like to film. You are also responsible for finding a backing karaoke track to work with. Check YouTube or PianoTrax to help with a track. Once you know your one minute cut, it's time to practice until you are ready to film!

Film LANDSCAPE (horizontally).
Use two devices to film - one to play your backing karaoke track, and one to film with.
Wear a formal outfit and look your best. Try to avoid crazy patterned clothes or looking disheveled. This may be our first impression of you!
Use a plain background with no distractions.
Introduce yourself with your full name, your age/grade, and what song you will be singing.
Film your song a few times and find the take you are happiest with. Don't worry... there will be bloopers!
Upload your final take to YouTube as an unlisted or public link - then take your link and paste it into the box in the Audition Form below.
Pay the audition fee below when filling out the form.

Once you have your perfect audition video uploaded to YouTube, it's time to submit your audition form! Fill out all of the details in the form below, including your conflicts for the summer. Don't forget to put your YouTube link (set to unlisted or public) in the correct box.

Audition forms MUST be submitted by June 10th, 2025 at 11:59pm.

Once you click submit, your audition process is finished! We will email you back within 48 hours to confirm that your audition was received and that your video works. If you don't receive an email within 72 hours, please reach out to [email protected] to ensure your audition form and video were received.

Callbacks will be held (if needed) by invitation only between June 11th and 16th. Please don't forget to mention any conflicts you may have.
