We typically perform 2 shows a day, 5 days a week with Sunday and Monday off. An average work day is approximately 5-6 hours. The rehearsal schedule varies. Actors should expect to have approximately 325 hours of work (and “play”). Female actors in particular will want to be in good physical shape as they will be learning the cancan.
Your DIGITAL AUDITION should include:
- short monologue
- song of your choice PLUS the Canadian anthem sung a capella
- dance and/or musical talents
- headshot and resume
Our shows ALWAYS include a couple of cancan numbers, and whenever possible, some tap numbers. Therefore, all females auditioning are encouraged to have prepared a short dance piece that demonstrates their ability to do a high kick, the ability to do the splits (even a fake one), and/or a cartwheel (or other gymnastic abilities) can be demonstrated separately. Dance training is available, when required.
