HOW WE CAST

Have you ever wondered how we make our casting decisions? Here's the inside scoop!

Casting is based on many pieces of a large puzzle:

  • Vocals - tone quality, range, timbre, pitch accuracy, ability to sing and hold harmonies

  • Acting abilities - Are you able to show us that you can take risks with your acting? Can you disappear into a role and fully inhabit the character?

  • Dance abilities – Can you follow the directions on the audition dance video and dance it to the best of your ability? Does the character that you’re auditioning for need to dance well?

  • Ability to take direction – Can you take a director’s suggestions and change what you’re doing to fit her vision, even if you disagree with it? Can you listen and remember the directions well?

  • If you are a JWRC veteran, we do consider your conduct from past shows. Are you a team player? Are you fun and easy to work with? Are you reliable in learning your music, lines, blocking, etc.?

  • Ultimately, we cast who we think is the BEST actress/singer for each role.

 

  • We do NOT cast based on friendships

  • We do NOT pre-cast ANY roles for ANY shows

  • We DO try to challenge every actress

  • We DO cast based on our artistic vision of each show

  • We DO believe that every role in every show is IMPORTANT and we take casting very seriously.
