8. WHEN WILL IT TAKE PLACE
• The last week in the Autumn term (ie the
week before Christmas holidays).
• We will rehearse the full weekend prior to
‘show week’ but it means you will have
Christmas to recover and February half term
off (year 11s will be able to revise for your
mock exams!)
9. WHERE WILL IT TAKE PLACE
• We hope to hold the performance at the
new Beyton campus.
• We plan to modify the layout of the main hall to
reflect a ‘cabaret’ style eg. some table seating for
the audience, the band will be on the stage in a
frame and the performance space will be decking
below the level of the stage, there will be the
opportunity for cast to mix with audience whilst ‘in
role’ and drinks and food will be served.
10. AUDITIONING
Stage 1: Come and Learn about the show
• Thursday 26th June from 4-6pm in drama area
• A workshop session will introduce the story and
characters to you. There will be some
improvisation/script tasks, you will learn some
choreography and we will go over the audition
songs briefly.
• This will be an informal session and the aim is for
people to come along and see if they might like to
audition.
• We hope to use the blog give you access to helpful
audition prep material.
11. AUDITIONING
Stage 2: Come and impress us

(taught the previous session) and sing your
prepared songs. These will be ‘Wilkommen’ for boys
and ‘Cabaret’ for girls.

songs for the preliminary auditions, just the first
sections)
• At the end of this session will let you know who we
wish to call back.
12. AUDITIONING
Stage 3: Call-backs

additional songs taught on the day.

holidays to look at.

it is likely that in ‘Honk’ (years 7-9 musical
production) or the Shakespeare play (in
Spring term) we will be able to use you.
