Please use the link on the left here to fill out the cast enrollment form. You will not be considered for a role until it is completed. Paper audition forms will be available at the front desk at auditions or you can bring a printed out copy with you to auditions.

 

Audition Info:
Performers that only want to be in the ensemble and do not want to have a solo or lead part need only sign up. We are a "no cuts" group. Every performer gets a part. We are planning on two casts (one younger and the other older) if possible. If we have 50 or less cast members we may only do two performances (one for each cast). 60 or more cast members and we will do four performances (two for each cast). 

 

*IF YOU MISS IN PERSON AUDITIONS, we encourage you to submit a video audition with your singing and dancing abilities and other skill sets. State your name, age, and which roles you would like to be considered for, sing a cappella or with a voice off track for 30-60 seconds, then if you can dance please add one minute of your best moves. If you can tumble, tap, do color guard, or have other skills that we could use in the show be sure to include those. Edit everything together in one video and email kkivy@topbillingent.org with the YouTube link or mp4 file.

​

Video Submissions will accepted until April 30th at 2 pm.

​

​CAST LIST ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE on Top Billing Entertainment's Instagram Live TBA.

Singing Auditions for performers that want a lead role or featured solo. Prepare 16 bars (about 30 seconds) of a Broadway or Disney song in the style of the show to sing a cappella. You are welcome to sing from the show. No karaoke tracks and an accompanist will not be available, please plan to sing a cappella.
