How to Prepare for Your Audition
We want everyone to have a fun and successful audition experience! Below are some guidelines to help you prepare:

 

1. Familiarize Yourself with the Story & Characters

Oliver! is based on Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. We encourage all auditioners to watch the 1968 film version of the musical and listen to the original cast recording. Understanding the story, characters, and tone of the show will help you perform with confidence.

 

2. Vocal Audition

• We recommend listening to the Oliver! soundtrack and becoming familiar with songs that suit your age and vocal range.

• Be ready to sing a short section of a song from the show or a song of your choosing.

• Younger children should focus on songs like “Where Is Love?” or “Consider Yourself.”

• Adults and older performers may be asked to sing selections from “Oom-Pah-Pah,” “As Long As He Needs Me,” or “Reviewing the Situation.”

 

3. Acting Audition

• Cold readings from the script will be provided at auditions. You do not need to memorize anything in advance.

• Expressive, confident performances are encouraged—don’t be afraid to bring energy and emotion to your reading!

 

4. Dance Audition

• A simple dance routine will be taught at auditions to assess movement ability.

• We will provide a video (click here) with choreography ahead of time so you can learn the steps in advance. Be sure to watch and practice!

• Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that allow for movement (no flip-flops or heels).

 

5. Additional Tips

• Arrive early to fill out any necessary paperwork and warm up.

• Bring water and be prepared to move.

• Have fun! We’re looking for performers who are enthusiastic and ready to bring this classic musical to life.

 

We can’t wait to see you at auditions! Break a leg!
