Audition Update

BUMP!

Anyone in line yet?

bump

ITR please??

seeing non eq? Busy?

Any updates?

It's pretty open! They've gotten through 15 on the non-eq list.

fairly quiet call. as an emc I was in and out. (& yes seeing non eq) I think sometimes we can be reluctant to post these but pay it forward people ;) will post itr when I get home but fyi it's not Judy Henderson if that was a deciding factor for anyone

Haha ok spoke too soon ;)

Walked right in as one of 2 AEA members in my 11:00 group. Seem to be seeing everyone.

ITR for me was:
Ian Morgan, Assoc Artistic Director
Sammi Katz, Artistic Associate

Yep, no Judy Henderson folk, unfortunately!

How long is non-Eq list?

there is literally no one there. i'm non-eq and was put right in the next group (1:10), with one other equity member who had also just walked in. go get seen!!!

There was a changeover of who was ITR around 12:15/12:20.

Ian Morgan Associate Artistic Director was replaced by Jason Purdy Artistic Associate.

Haha ok spoke too soon ;)

Haha ok spoke too soon ;)

Haha ok spoke too soon ;)

They haven't seen any so far. About 30 on the list.

They do an excerpt from Hannibal & Il Muto en pointe. I do wonder though if anyone knows if they do the same combo for every audition because I've only been to one of their calls so far?

I have no idea what they will teach this time around, but when I was in for it pre-bway the dance was not technically hard, just very stylized. I am a great mover (not a triple type of gal) and advanced through 3 rounds of dance at the chorus call.

Was/is there a posting for this or was it agent appts? Haven't seen anything regarding it... Or you just thinking ahead?

the posting for this is on the AEA website.

How does it look over there?

FYI - I was there about 20 mins ago and there were 15 names on non-eq list. No word at that point if any would be seen.

Any info on how busy this call is today, appointments/alternate list? Thanks.

Any 411 for the PM? Appts/EMC/Alts, etc? And, most importantly, ITR? Thanks for any information!

BUMP

I can't be the only who sees the grand irony of searching for information on Waiting for Godot.

Touché. Would have been awesome if the casting directors never showed up and the audition never existed.

This audition season's title:

Waiting To Be Cast

How long is the non-eq list for this call? 😬

Please keep updated if they are seeing non-eq! I was told that they will not be seeing non-eq

(and whether the verdict is the same/different for EMC ;) - thanks!)

There are only 10 names on the non-eq list, FYI. They said to check back in at 10am, so would someone please post what they say at 10?

No noneq or EMCs will be seen today for George Street, as per the monitor.

Are there any appointments left?

Are there still slots available? If not, how long is the alternate list?

Any AEA appts left? And what's the alternate list like? Thanks!

Wide open for AEA members... go get seen!

How's it looking for appointments this afternoon?

Any idea if they'll be seeing non-eqs at the EPA in New Brunswick?

They said via email that they wouldn't be seeing non-Eq in NJ when I asked about getting an appointment.

Thanks for the update. I was actually going to head to New Brunswick for this, but I think plans have changed. Much appreciated! I guess they're not hiring any non-eq? Sad face.

I do know that tomorrows EPA at George Street Playhouse will not be seeing non-eq. So do ppl think they will see non-eq today? Please keep posted either way! :)

They're having non-eq sign up downstairs and come back. Call isn't busy yet though.

Please post as to whether they're seeing non-eq today at AEA, thanks!

Any AEA appts left? And what's the alternate list like? Thanks!

They will not be seeing EMC or NON EQ today. However, the day is WIDE open for AEA - so go down and get seen!

Low turn out for equity guys... All three non eq guys were seen. I think girls are at 2 PM. Who knows how that turn out will be. But the open call will probably be busy tomorrow so if you can only go today give it a shot.

How's it looking for today?

280 dancers right now. Seeing groups of 50 for the first cut.

I'm gonna try to get there around 7 hopefully. I'm hoping that it won't be as busy as Friday - I saw somebody say there were 150-170 people there on Friday.

Just got here, and I'm 6th in line

About 20 people in line.

Jacob! You here yet? Haha so incognito of you.

How bad is the line now?

The line is around the corner. I think it's around 50ppl.

Where we at?

We're inside but the room is full and people are living up in the hall now

An audition haiku:

It's audition day
No shower makes my hair suck
Reason to join gym

Please post when they close the lost! Can't stop by til around 2:30...

I just left about fifteen minutes ago - we all got to sign up for times around 9:45 and it looks like there are sheets available up to 6pm? I signed up for 3. When I was leaving, there was another holding room full of people, so I'm not sure how many spots will be open in the afternoon.

Did the close the list? Are there still times?

BUMP! I'm hoping to go during my lunch break (stupid survival jobs)

There r still slots for 5:00 open and they have an alternate list for earlier. They've called 2 alternates so far

Any update would be awesome. Thanks!!

Thanks! Do we know if they are definitely closing the list/ending at 6? Or could it possibly go later?

bump! Would love to know if I could audition if I stopped by now

When I left around 3:15 there was only a couple spots open but there is an alternate list and they're moving very fast so you should definitely go

Thanks! Yep we got seen

Does anyone know when girls can sign up for the 2pm dance call?

The girls unofficial list has been started and as far as I know will be honored.

How many are on the girls list so far? Thanks?

Yes, I am going in! Wheeeeeeee!

If you're not familiar with a Devon accent, good resource is BBC Voices of Britain on the BBC website , just click on Devon the map and you can hear various locals talking, it's very helpful. Break a leg.

Any word after these?

Playbill.com has the info.

Nothing? Is it that quiet?

Any info on how this went today?

Any info on choice of sides to read?

There were less than 5 people on the non-Eq list at 2pm, and I think they were checked off from before lunch. AEA has been super quiet today.

Wide open, please come by if you're potentially right for this. :-)

when will you see people till

please update when they start seeing non-eqs, thanks!!

Can't get there today . . . but I am. (potentially right!)
;-)

On a break now. Started seeing EMC in the first 12 minutes, and non-eqs a few minutes after that. We'll be here til 5:30 - and I imagine we'll be able to get EMC and non-Eq folks in for the foreseeable future...

What is the non-eq list up to?

Bump

How's it looking after lunch for non-equity?

How's it looking after lunch for non-equity?

Wide open as of now.

27 people

Sign up sheet has about 60 names on it.

I know this is wrong but can someone sign me up on The Rock of ages list? I am in line at Ghost! Jerrial Young

Hey could someone update on the amount of people/ may I still sign up if I make it over there in a half hour or so or did the call close?? Thanks!

Are they doing time slots for ROA? Or just auditioning in order of arrival?

Any updates on what number they're on or the pace per hour?

They're on 40-50 right now...it's about 30 per hour

Does anyone know if they took the unofficial list?

Did they close the list? And what time is this call going till?

Can anyone tell me who's in the room? Specifically the Piano Player for the morning? Is he the MD as well?

Sorry, this posted in the wrong tab

I haven't heard. She does like 'em tall though!

BUMP seeing non Eq? Did they see the non eq boys so the girls have an idea?

Bump

Non-eqs will be seen as time permitting. 15 on non-eq female singers list now. And it looks like less that 30 female singers for that specific call.

What about males?

(I'm going to guess that all the jean mini-skirt/high heel wearing ladies are going for Vanessa. Just a guess. Happy Fathers Day!)

How many non eq girls now? oh and thas funny about the blue jean skirts

Non-eq female singers are being called in.

There were about 15 non-eq females. All were called. Now calling men who were waiting to be seen after the ladies.

Hi! how are the non eq dancer lists looking?

Hi, also wondering if there is an update for non-eq female dancers?

Did anyone get a callback in the room/notified later?

People lined up buts it is calm and quiet. For now :)

Only like 20 people so far!

There's like 55-60 people here.

Just for clarity's sake, some people are on an unofficial list and some aren't, but JDC said in the breakdowns she won't be taking it, so don't freak out when you get here if you're not on it. That's been concerning some people.

There is a line though so make sure you're at least in that!

Is it regular pearl or new pearl?

Pearl 519

What's it looking like now that we've hit the cutoff time?
Do you think they'll be allowing people to come in later on?

ya unfortunately I can only make it later in the day... any word on if theyll be seeing people throughout or was it cut off for good? thanks guys!!

bump!

Can someone please post as to whether or not they are still allowing people to sign up? I can't come till later and any info would really help! Thanks!

come! you can be seen!

Call is closed.

What do we think the call on Monday will be like? I wasn't able to make it today. You think it'll be calmer?

What did people sing???

anyone find out about callbacks?

*They were asking for 16 bars of pop/rock.* (They said something NOT written for a musical, but that if that's all you have that it's ok if you really don't have anything else)

Did anyone sing from the show?

The girl ahead of me sang from the show, and when she finished there was like a 40 second pause, and she starting singing another song from the show.

I auditioned for the ABC Showcase this past Thursday, using my NBC taped audition! Haven't heard from NBC yet...

Was the abc a video audition?
That's great that you got to audition! Best of luck!

ABC wasn't a video audition, but I figured I'd submit the same tape to both networks. It worked (at least for ABC).

Thanks for the well wishes, the audition went great!

Bump!

Bump! I would love to hear if anyone has heard from NBC or if anyone else has heard from abc.

me too! update please!

Haven't heard anything! Would love any info!

I got called in for the ABC showcase after sending an email. Went in last Thursday. They told me call backs will be late June.

Anyone hear from NBC yet?!

That would be a "no" for NBC. Also haven't heard from ABC about their callbacks...

It kind of varies. I've been to a few where the non eq lists went up at the same time (boys/girls) i've been to others where they didn't go out till the eq sign up

Ya, the call is listed as an ECC

I am currently with them. I will keep this short and simple. They are the most hands on, supportive, hard working agents I have ever known. I talk to them on the phone almost daily. They truly believe in their talent. Have a great relationship with all of their clients and are easy to talk to. Its like a dream. No joke.

freebird, I am glad that they are very friendly. It is nice to feel that you have folks in your corner. Are they getting you a good number of appointments?

unfortunately i don't believe they have any industry clout

I get a lot of appointments. They are not afraid to pick up the phone and make a pitch. And if you are already busting your butt out here making a name for yourself in front of casting directors, these guys will push for you too. When they are out here in NYC in august they have meetings and dinners with all the Big Musical Theatre casting directors. They most certainly have pull, as they have high profile clients already on their roster. Go for it. I promise. They only sign for a year at first and an agent is better than none (though in this case you are most certainly getting an amazing team) and at least its not a two or three year commitment. :-)

I would say that (although that's great that you're happy, FreeBird!), that a bad agent is worse than no agent at all.

I guess that could be true. Turns out, that is not going to be the cast for anyone with these boys.

I guess that could be true. Turns out, that is not going to be the cast for anyone with these boys.

Just to be clear, tomorrow (Friday)'s open call for singers for GHOST is at Pearl 519; Monday's open call for singers for GHOST is at Ripley.

Hope to see you all there!

JDC will submissions be considered if we can't make it to either of the audition dates? Thank you!

Oh yeah, my mistake! Tomorrow is Pearl 519

Yes, we will consider submissions.

why those 2 shows specifically just curious?

Well Les Miz is coming back to Broadway but they are in agent appts June and July.....

Just curious. Good shows for my type of voice. Do you know who the BWay company is that's doing it? When it is etc?

ok not to be mean but Google is your friend.
her's one thing from googling new revival of Les Miserables
www.theatermania.com

and Oliver will be coming to Bway in 2014 as well apparently.
But is this a troll I wonder?

Oliver is being done in Staten Island at harbor lights theatre but they start rehearsals next week

Thanks guys! And no offense but I just wanted straight forward answers which is why I came here [and not wandering through Google]. And I'm not a troll, haha. Thank you. :)

And I'm just asking for auditions is what I mean, sorry if I wasn't specific enough. Like times, where, when for the calls-wise, not just 'someone is going to do something this fall' or what-not. Just a heads up, thanks guys!

Wow. Everything about this is so ridiculous that I'm pretty sure it must be some kind of a joke, but just in case it's not:

www.backstage.com
www.playbill.com
www.actorsequity.org

Start there. Do your homework.

This site is becoming a repository for the lazy and thin-skinned.

There is a free version of Lez Miz happening in my living room.

^ like ^

I read this post and thought it was ridiculous. Then it occurred to me that this site is called "audition update," which sounds like a perfectly reasonable place to try to get updates about auditions! So since you're new to NYC and new to this forum, hi! Welcome! Here is some info for future reference: this website is not designed to inform you of what auditions are coming up. We keep each other up to date about auditions that are currently happening, as well as the status of auditions gone by (see "callback corner"). The previous poster's list of sites is a great place to start to see what's coming up. Keep an eye out for your dream shows, like les mis and Oliver, but don't forget to keep your horizons broader than that...specific shows don't come around super frequently.

I hope this helps! And assuming you're not lazy (ie you'll go audition hunting in the appropriate forums) or thin skinned (ie you'll come back to this site even though some Internet strangers just insulted you), you can use this new information to get out there and nail some auditions! Good luck to ya!

Have2FinishtheHat: Thanks for posting such a civilized reply to this poster, and assuming positive intent. As another newbie to this world, I can say that I have become hesitant to post any questions for fear of being ridiculed or insulted on the site. I don't see myself as thin-skinned, but it can still be hard to take. For a time now, I have mostly been sitting back and just reading, learning, taking it in -- and that alone has been valuable (and kept me from sticking foot in mouth with unintended stupidity). You have restored my faith -- thanks

Great, thank you. As for thin skinned [sounds like some internet whiner word] I am not lol. But all those replies were hilarious and as a sarcastic chick I couldn't give less of a shit.

Thanks for the heads up, too bad this place isn't monitored more appropriately but it's kind of like Craigslist for actors. At any rate, muchas gracias!

Hey! I have worked at Tuacahn a bunch, they cast their Christmas show separately and later so you are good! Around September or oct probably

Awesome! I'll keep an eye out!

oh hell, i was sure that was going in callback corner. sorry

Check the bitching post

They're up! Sorry it took so long.

thank you!

If I remember this audition correctly, they would have seen non-equity if there had bee time, but the call was so crowded with equity that they never got to see any non-equity.

Any info on how busy this call is today? Appointments/alternate list?

How is this looking thus far this morning?

bump

Looking pretty full at this point! Equity line is snaking through the whole lobby of the audition center...

19 on the Non-Eq list at this point

19 on the Non-Eq list at this point

Any appointments left?

who's ITR? alt list #? appts left?

Appts full and pretty long alternate list. EMC told to come back after lunch.

Can someone list who is in the room? Thanks!

Any info on what number they are on for the alt list?

Can someone please update who is ITR and if they are seeing non-eq? Thanks!

Any info on this one? How is it looking, ITR?? Appts/Alts/EMCs/Non? Any 411 appreciated!

Any updates for thus? Is the Guthrie crowd spilling over into this one, too?

Bump bump

EMCs released

Check (and post in!) Callback Corner.

Would love to know if they see non-eq women so I can go on with my day if they are not going to see non-eq men in the afternoon.

Bump!

Only 21 non eq women so far. They will be seen in the next group. It's a very quiet call. They havent closed non eq sign up yet.

Bump!

Anyone know who was ITR/teaching this morning?

All appts full and alternate list is NOT MOVING.

Thanks for the info! Appreciated much!

I'm guessing they won't be seeing non-eq but could someone please make a non-eq update when they have one?

Who is ITR?
Thanks!

Anyone know what alternate number they are on?

bump

No news is good news, I suppose!

Required season notice - they just had their local season EPA in Florida, but we're not even beginning to think about this one yet. Appointments will most likely be in November/December since this doesn't go into rehearsal until the beginning of February.

There will be a breakdown at the time, and we'll hang out to the most applicable submissions that have come through in this round but - a lot can happen in 6 months, so it won't be a bad idea to submit or re-submit at that time.

Michael, you are the very best! Good to know, now I can go to LA for the Summer not worrying as to whether I will have missed an appointment.

10 on the non eq list.

No non eqs have been seen yet.

Are they seeing any non-equity?
