ABOUT THE SHOW
Set in the carefree world of the French Riviera in the Roaring Twenties, Sandy Wilson’s The Boy Friend introduced Julie Andrews to Broadway. This delightful musical comedy takes place at Madame Dubonnet’s Finishing School where an English heiress falls in love with a delivery boy—but both are hiding secrets. Will love find a way? Find out in this happily-ever-after feel-good show.

WHAT TO BRING Download, complete and bring an audition form. (Forms will also be provided at auditions). Prepare a short song from a Broadway musical that shows off your range along with sheet music in your key. Pianist will be provided. No a cappella please. Be prepared to dance. You may be asked to read from the script. If you can do a British or French accent (even a goofy or corny one) prepare a little monologue to show it off! Bring a head shot and resume, if available, and your calendar so you can check for any rehearsal/performance conflicts.
