Images of the big city and bright lights come to mind when Broadway auditions are mentioned. Indeed, New York is a big city and the lights on Broadway are bright, but Broadway auditions are more work and a lot less glamour than might be imagined.
Landing a role at a Broadway audition is the ultimate dream for many stage performers and in the metropolis of NYC, there are many, many performers vying for each position. The competition can be intense and the waiting times long. So long in fact, it is not uncommon to see lines of people wrapped around the block, each waiting for their brief, but all-important moment on a Broadway audition stage. Broadway auditions are held in a variety of locations, and take place in empty warehouses as often as they are found in dedicated rehearsal halls. You can rest assured that Broadway auditions will not be lonely affairs however. You are certain to have plenty of company at any Broadway audition you attend.
Since the basis of any Broadway show is live stage performance, Broadway auditions are usually broken into three different parts, singing, dancing and reading. Song and dance are the focus of the first part of most Broadway auditions and are handled separately. For the singing part of Broadway auditions you will be singing alone and need to bring your own sheet music for the accompanist musician(s). The dancing part of Broadway auditions starts with large groups of dancers receiving step instructions, tapering down into smaller groups until individual dance auditions are called. It is the norm for the reading, or acting, part of Broadway auditions to be held at a later date.
If you have completed the singing and dancing part of the Broadway audition and are later called back to read for a specific part, you can assume the director liked you and you have made it past the preliminary auditions stage. After the reading there will be more waiting as it is common for Broadway auditions to involve several call backs before final selections are made. All the hard work involved in the Broadway auditions process will pay off if you can finally land that big role though. If you aren’t called back, just remember every Broadway audition you attend is the best practice for the next one.
