This page contains all the information you need to successfully submit your audition application for AUTD Spring 2027 productions of 42nd Street and The Squirrels. Please note that these auditions will be in-person on Monday, November 16th starting at 5:30pm. However, if you do not submit an audition application by 5 pm CDT on November 13th, you will not be allowed to audition - walk-ins will not be permitted.
In addition to the in-person auditions, we are requesting that everyone auditioning for 42nd Street submit a tap video by the application deadline. You will not be required to tap during the in-person audition, but your submission will determine if you receive a dance callback. Details are in the application.
All current BFA Performance and Musical Theatre majors are required to audition for both productions.
Audition requirements for both productions are on the first page of the application (please read them carefully), and character breakdowns/disclosure information can be found at 42nd Street Audition Resources and The Squirrels Audition Resources.
We would also like to encourage you to read the script/libretto for each production before auditioning: Libretto Vocal Book for 42nd Street and Script for The Squirrels.
Please visit the following link to complete an audition application and submit your tap video if you are auditioning for 42nd Street: AUTD Spring 2027 Audition Application.
NEW INFORMATION: The choreographer for 42nd Street has asked that I provide access to this Tap Sequence Music so you have a version of the music that is a little slower and easier to follow. Please use this music to create your self-taped video.
Here is the original tap sequence so you can learn the steps up to 1:03 on the video: 42nd Street Tap Sequence
If you are interested in receiving feedback before you submit your tap video, Choreographer Jeri Dickey will be holding drop-in feedback sessions from 5-6pm on November 5th, November 9th, and November 11th in the Dance Studio (Room 170).
Callback lists will go out to everyone who auditioned no later than 9am CDT on Friday, November 20th(sooner if possible) and will include the information needed to complete callbacks.

To ensure that no audition is overlooked during this process, we will be sending out confirmations once we have received all portions of your audition.
