Audition Instructions
Thank you for joining us for FRTC’s Newsies Jr. this summer! We are so excited to see the energy and enthusiasm the students bring to the auditions! Auditions will be at Parker Performing Arts School from 1 PM-4 PM on Saturday, May 13. We are accepting video auditions until Tuesday, 5/16, at 4 PM!
Students should be registered for Newsies Jr. prior to auditions. Everyone registered for this show will be cast in the production. However, if a student does not wish to audition, they may forgo the audition process and will be placed in the ensemble.
For auditions, please prepare 2-3 of the audition tracks found below. The student can sing any of the songs they like, regardless of the character. We will ask each auditioner to sing one of their selections. Should we need to hear more, we will ask for additional songs they have prepared. Auditions will be 3-5 minutes long. There will be no callbacks or dance call.
If any students have questions or comments about the casting, they may contact the directors but we ask that they wait at least 48 hours before doing so.
If you have any other questions regarding auditions please contact us, by emailing us at frontrangetheatreco@gmail.com
An important note on the PDFs: For each song there is a .pdf file that contains the sheet music for the audition cut. I have crossed out any music that you don’t need to worry about and put “START” and “END” brackets to mark the starts and ends of the karaoke track for each cut. There is intentionally a bar or two of music before the singing starts to provide some time for your ear to acclimate to the key of the song. Sometimes there are multiple parts singing during a cut - don’t worry about any parts except for the main melody (which might switch from character to character in some songs). If there are harmonies listed, sing any of the notes!
An important note on the MP4 tracks: For each song there is a Rehearsal Track and an Audition Track. The Rehearsal Track includes Collin, our musical director, playing the melody on top of the Audition Track Accompaniment. We recommend that you begin practicing with the Rehearsal Track to familiarize yourself with the melody before moving on to the Audition Track.
