Audition times will be booked by the hour. There will be a group dance audition at the beginning of the hour, followed by singing auditions (one at a time). Auditionees should be prepared to stay for the full hour they are called for.

Auditionees must prepare one song of their own choosing which shows off their vocal range and abilities.

While similar in plot to “The Wizard of Oz”, The Wiz (usually) consists of an all-black cast to transform the show into a more fun, funky modern version. However we shall be delighted to welcome purple, green, beige – in fact any colour may audition plus, of course black and white!

Dorothy, the little girl from Kansas is blown by a tornado into Munchkinland in the Land Of Oz. While there she meets the Scarecrow, the Tinman & the Cowardly Lion on the Yellow Brick Road. She defeats the evil witch and goes to see the powerful Wizard who turns out to be a phoney. However, he is able to convince Dorothy that she can do anything she wants if she just believes in herself. Dorothy also realizes the importance of home and her family.
