Musical theatre Applicants will be required to complete a possible two phases: Phase 1 Dance: Following a warm-up and basic technical exercises applicants will be taught a short routine which they will present to the panel. Singing: Applicants will present one song to the panel (due to time limitations, a vocal warm-up will not be provided as part of the audition. Applicants should come prepared). However, you should prepare two singing pieces from the Musical Theatre repertoire. These should last no longer than 2 minutes each—not be from the classical repertoire (this includes Opera); not be accompanied by a backing track; be performed in the key in which they’re written (the pianist will not transpose at sight, into a different key); give you the opportunity to act through the content of the words as well as to sing the tune. Depending on your Phase 1 audition, you may be asked to return for Phase 2. Phase 2 Acting: Applicants will present two acting pieces to the panel. These pieces should: last no longer than 2 minutes each; only be from published plays; not be extracts from poems or novels; and one piece must be modern—after 1945. Voice: Applicants spoken voice will be considered during the performance of their acting pieces. Singing: Applicants will present their second song to the panel.
