Auditions

TEEN SUMMER SHOW
LEGALLY BLONDE

AUDITIONS ARE CLOSED FOR LEGALLY BLONDE

A fabulously fun award-winning musical based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde The Musical, follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances – this musical is so much fun, it should be illegal!

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

Auditions for Legally Blonde are for students who are 12-18 years old.

What You’ll Need for Your Audition

1. Audition Form — REQUIRED

• Complete THIS FORM before your audition.
• You must list all conflicts on this form.
• The form must be submitted before you audition.
• No additional conflicts will be accepted after auditions.

2. Audition Sign-Ups – Auditions Closed

3. What to Prepare
Please bring the following:

• Headshot and resume — stapled back to back.
  (A headshot can be a simple photo. Your resume may be a full theatre résumé or a list of shows/training.)
• Song:
  • Prepare a 32-measure cut or two 16-measure cuts (if auditioning for both spring and summer shows and want to sing two song styles).
  • Choose a song that best shows your vocal ability and character interpretation.
  • You may sing a song from the show—but it’s not required.
  • If not singing from the show, choose something in a similar style.
• Monologue:
  • 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • Must be age appropriate and show your personality.
  • Need help finding one? Email Kennedy at kennedy@uptownwestchester.org. Please include your grade and gender preference when requesting recommendations.

4.  What to Expect on Audition Day
An accompanist will be provided. Please bring:

• Sheet music in the correct key, placed inside a binder with sheet protectors.
• No tracks or a cappella singing — accompanist only.
• Headshot and resume stapled together at all four corners, back-to-back. Professionals often look at training first — it shows your dedication.
• Make sure your audition form has been submitted and includes all conflicts. You will not be allowed to audition without submitting the form first, and no additional conflicts will be accepted after auditions.
  

Because this is a 3-week summer camp, it is assumed there will be no conflicts with rehearsals or shows. Should there be conflicts, make us aware of them BEFORE your audition. New conflicts could result in losing your place in the show.
