While we’ve only requested certain sections (cuts) of songs for you to audition with, it’s important you bring/are familiar with the whole song you’re choosing to audition with, because we may reference or ask you to sing something from a different section of the song. The Joseph/Narrator cuts are complete, there is no need to bring the whole “Close Every Door” or “Potiphar” part if you’re wishing to be considered for those roles.

Please sing the cut provided of “Close Every Door.” You may bring one additional song that showcases your voice if you choose, but the cut provided is mandatory. If you choose to bring a second song of your choice, please select 16 bars that best showcases what you feel you want us to hear.

You WILL be asked to demonstrate any listed special talents at the time of your audition, so don’t forget to stretch! If you cannot do any of the above, do not fear, you will still be considered for roles in the show!
