To register for an audition timeslot, please fill in the form below and include the name of each character for whom you wish to audition.

The Auditions Coordinator will respond to confirm a time and date with you.

There are 15 roles available, including understudies. All roles cover multiple characters, or include ensemble singing. No roles have been pre-cast.

There are no expectations about physical attributes, age (but we cannot consider people under 15 years old), or performing experience. Any London or England accent is preferred for all roles (except as noted for Cheapside Jackie) but not required.

You should prepare the songs and texts listed beside the character in this document (google drive link).

Where you are asked to perform a suitable song that shows your vocal style and quality, you must bring a copy of the music for the Accompanist. No pre-recorded audio backing tracks will be accepted.

You do not need to memorize the texts. A reader will speak any lines by other characters.

We will accept video auditions. If you wish to submit a video, please email your request so we can agree on how best to achieve this.

Please send any questions, by clicking this email address: auditions@gsov.org.au
