as allowed by the time restraints.

You are responsible to learn the audition songs and review the scenes provided in advance. Be aware
that the PLAY version (not the film) is what you need to prepare. See Mrs. Mathias in C-105 if you
need further clarification.

Things I Could Do” (beginning through measure 24)

Girls wishing to be considered for both Sandy and Rizzo should be prepared for both songs, although you are
not guaranteed to sing both; choose to sing your preferred role. (

Secondary: You MAY be asked to sing a second time during the audition period’s second round. This is
based on the panel’s need to evaluate your vocal range and character versatility.
Below are the songs we will hear for specific ranges, but not the whole song.
If you are NOT asked to sing a secondary audition, you may still be called back for a specific character and/or
