RUDDIGORE AUDITIONS​


​There are specific songs and dialogues for each lead character that will be part of your audition. Please review the requirements below to prepare for your audition.  Click the blue button on the left to download the complete score for Ruddigore if you don't own a copy yet. We are using the Schirmer edition of the score. Click the button on the right to read important background notes and descriptions of the main characters.





Once you have the score, click this blue button below to look up the dialogue passages and musical selections for your character so you can prepare for the audition.






Click the blue button below to view and print out the dialogue sides for your character. You do not have to print them out for the audition itself, we will have scores for you to use there. You do not have to memorize any dialogue for the audition, but being familiar with these passages will help in your reading.





When auditioning please know that characterization is the important aspect, and that not all the "sides" may be used. Reviewing all the sides should, however, give you a real sense of the characters and the situation.


If you'd like to save some time at auditions, you can print off & fill out our audition form below and bring it with you.
