Audition for this classic 2027 Poly musical comedy:
The Music Man
February 25-27th in the Poly Auditorium!
All Poly students who can commit to an after-school rehearsal schedule December 1st-February 27th are welcome to audition.
Movement/Dance auditions are Tuesday, November 6th in the Auditorium. No preparation necessary, but come dressed to move!
Dance auditions are early to avoid conflict with fall dance show!
Singing auditions are Monday-Tuesday, November 16-17 in 851, the Poly Playhouse. Prepare a memorized one minute singing audition from a musical theatre song with a karaoke track. Your singing audition is an acting audition!
Qualifying students will be called back for further acting auditions 18-19th.
Vocal auditions and Callbacks are in room 851, the Poly Playhouse, from 4:00 - 5:45. When you are finished with your audition, you may leave. A vocal audition may be submitted to lbon@lbschools.net for those who cannot attend singing auditions. Deadline November 17th.
If you miss dance auditions, you may learn the combo in 851 during Monday lunch on the 9th and audition Tuesday the 10th during lunch. But it’s better not to miss!
EVERYONE is better at either dance OR singing. You must show your willingness to try BOTH by submitting both auditions, but a recorded singing audition is accepted if you just want to be considered for chorus.
Every role doesn’t require high levels of dancing and singing. Just do your best and have fun!
If you have specific concerns please email Mrs. Bon lbon@lbschools.net
