Instructions
Cabaret has a wide variety of roles, that range from extremely intense singing/dancing (Sally Bowles, Kit Kat girls, Emcee) to almost zero singing/dancing (Ernst, Cliff). At audition you will be asked to:
- Prepare both monologues the audition packet for the character you are most interested in. If you are interested in more than one role, you may perform one from each character.
- Learn and perform some brief choreography for the show.
- Perform a one minute cut of a song in the style of the show (but not from the show), and bring your own backing track.
For callbacks, you will be asked to prepare a song from the show and will be asked to cold read from the script with others.
Please make sure to read the entire audition packet and complete the audition form to bring with you or fill out the online audition form prior to auditions.

Examples
If you’d like an example of the tone/style of the show, we are producing the 1998 Mendes version of the script, with our own spin on it. There are a number of recordings of this version, but here are a couple that are particularly interesting;
1993 West End Production with Alan Cummings and Jane Horrocks
2014 Broadway with Alan Cummings and Emma Stone
1998 Broadway with Gina Gershon and Raul Esparza
