Ages 15+ ** If you are auditioning and are under age 18, you will need to have a parent/guardian present to sign a form prior to your audition (this is a separate form from the audition form, which also requires a parent/guardian signature). **
Please prepare a 30-60 second, memorized musical selection in the style of the show. An accompanist will be available so please provide your own sheet music in the correct key. A sound system will be available for those using a track, but it is not preferred. A capella auditions are strongly discouraged.
There will be a general dance audition so please have comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear. Ladies - please wear character heels.
Welcome to the infamous Kit Kat Klub, where the Emcee, Sally Bowles and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd – and to leave their troubles outside. But as life in pre-WWII Germany grows more and more uncertain, will the decadent allure of Berlin nightlife be enough to get themthrough their dangerous times? Come hear some of the most memorable songs in theatre history, including “Cabaret,” “Willkommen” and “Maybe This Time.” Leave your troubles outside – life is beautiful at CABARET…
Emcee: Master of Ceremonies of the Kit Kat Klub; an androgynous, flamboyant figure; dark, comedic, sexy, sinister, vulgar…yet lovable; requires a strong presence that is playful and mysterious. German accent. Must move well. Vocal range: C3 to high C#5.

Fräulein Schneider: landlady who rents to Cliff and several other characters. German accent. Vocal range: D3-A-flat4
