Godspell Auditions Graphic.png

Synopsis:

​

The original Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award-winner, Stephen Schwartz, and it took the world by storm. Boasting a score with chart topping songs, Godspell JR. is a sensation that continues to touch audiences.

​

A group of disciples help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty does of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, are employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR AUDITIONS

For Music, you may choose one of four audition cuts. 

 

Sheet music & audition tracks can be found here: 

​

 

It is recommended that boys sing We Beseech Thee or All Good Gifts and girls sing either Beautiful City or Bless the Lord, but any gender can sing any of the cuts in the octive that is most comfortable for them. It is recommended you get familiar with all the cuts in case the team would like to hear you sing a different one. Please come with at least one prepared. 

 

Auditioners will do a vocal warm-up together then will have the opportunity to sing the cut as a group before singing solo. It is expected that you come with the audition cut learned and memorized. We highly recommend practicing your performance at home and preparing movements/acting to go along with your singing. Extra copies of sheet music to hold will not be provided. 

​

For the dance audition: 

The Choreographer will teach a short piece of the choreography. Smaller groups will then perform the piece to the best of their ability. Make sure to wear comfortable closed-toed shoes you can dance in. Barefoot, sandals, crocs, etc. will not be allowed due to the safety of all auditioners. 

​

For the acting audition: 

For Acting you will have a choice to perform 1 of 3 monologues. Your monologue MUST be memorized and extra copies will not be available at auditions. Any auditioner who didn't prepare a monologue ahead of time will not be allowed to read at the audition. It is recommended you research the show ahead of time to understand the story of this show. We are looking for the right actors to fit every single character, don't be afraid to go big! Here is a link to the monologues.
