What Should I Do Before I Decide To Audition?
STEP 1 - Check The Time Commitment
Are you capable of fully participating? Check the Time Commitment. Check the Rehearsal Calendar posted below. Bring up any concerns or conflicts with Mr. Von Glahn before you put the time in.
Get familiar with 42nd Street. Read the Show Synopsis to understand the story of 42nd Street. Read the Role Descriptions to understand the characters, and what playing those roles will require of you. See what songs that each character sings, in full or in part, on the Songs Sung by Character Page . Listen to the Reference Recordings to get familiar with the songs of 42nd Street (See your Google Classroom for the password). Watch video from other performances of Fiddler On The Roof on YouTube or other platforms.
STEP 3 - Choose A Role
Once you know the time commitment, have researched the show, and have decided that you would like to audition - choose a role that meets your availability, your acting ability, your vocal ability, and your dancing ability. For some roles, you'll need to act out part of the script in character in your audition. For every role, you will need to perform a song from a Broadway Musical, past or present.

Print it out, and act it out as best you can. If you are trying out for a specific part, prepare that audition reading. If there is no specific monologue for your part, pick any of the one's listed.
AUDITION SONG
Every person auditioning must audition with a song. That song must be a song from a Broadway musical. Students must audition with a performance or karaoke track of that song, however, the performance track may NOT have any singing recorded on it. (If you are not sure if your song is from a Broadway musical, or if you are concerned with your performance/karaoke track, see Mr. Von Glahn as soon as possible.)
VOICE RANGE CHECK
There will be a voice range check done - it will be a three note pattern (do re mi re do) changing keys chromatically going up and down.
