Thank you for your interest in auditioning for Sweeney Todd! For your audition, please come prepared to sing 32 bars or approximately 1.5-2 minutes of any song (this song doesn’t have to be from Sweeney Todd— you can even sing “Happy Birthday”). If you’re unsure of what to sing, the Dramat will hold several audition-prep sessions to teach songs from the show. If you are able, bringing sheet music is encouraged but not required for this first round of auditions. You may also be asked to cold read a monologue that will be given to you during your audition. Please plan to arrive about ten minutes before your expected audition time to fill out an audition form.
Auditions will be held in Crown Down, 305 Crown Street.
Additional audition slots may be added on Saturday the 31st. If you cannot attend one of these auditions please contact the stagemanager Isaac Swift at isaac.swift@yale.edu and he will schedule an alternative time.
Note For Students:
This show deals with mature content that includes violent and sexual situations. Space will be made to discuss and handle these moments with great care. Please take both the material and the serious time commitment needed to be in the show into consideration.
***Important info for first-years!!***
If you are signing up for auditions as a first-year, you will need to create a biography on this website (the YCA) before you will be able to complete the process and be listed on the roster. The steps to do so are as follows:
The new user needs to:
-
Go to their account page and log in with their NetID
-
Click the “Add your biography.” button
-
Type in their “Full Name”, “First Name”, and “Last Name”
-
The “Full Name” is what will be visible to producers on the sign-up list.
-
If the “Full Name” slot is left blank, the producer will see a sign up with no name attached to it.
-
Hit the save button at the bottom.
