3. Your audition will be two things:

#1 - Film yourself performing the character’s part (attached.)

#2 – If the character sings, film yourself singing the part. It is OK to sing along with the music, just please make sure we can hear you over your music!

TO SUBMIT A VIDEO AUDITION:

2. If it isn’t too long, you can also text it or email it directly to Mrs. Emmick.

3. You will receive a confirmation message back from Mrs. Emmick that your video was received. If you don’t receive a confirmation, check in with Mrs. Emmick!

High School Musical Auditions

We will use auditions for these roles to cast all characters:

Troy Bolton

The most popular kid at East High, he is the star of the basketball team who yearns to be more than what people want him to be. Troy discovers his love for music but refuses to admit it. Athletic, attractive, and a true leader. He becomes smitten with Gabriella.

Audition for Troy if you are interested in Troy, Chad, Zeke, Ripper, Coach Bolton, and any of the other male characters (teachers, students, etc.) If you don’t want to sing a solo, you don’t have to do the singing part of the audition.

Ryan Evans

Sharpay's fraternal twin and a self-delusional 'star in the making.' He typically feels the brunt of Sharpay's attacks and lives under her shadow.

Jack Scott

The resident P.A. Announcer for the high school. He is shy and insecure in front of the rest of the kids, but smooth and confident at the mic. Known as the "Velvet Fog of East High."

Sharpay Evans

The egocentric diva star of the school musicals, she is Ryan's older twin and the alpha dog. She thinks being the musical star defines her and clutches the title like her life depends on it, no matter what the cost to others.

Gabriella Montez

The new girl in school. She is trying to blend in and avoid 'labels' at her new school. Eventually becomes Troy's romantic counterpart. Pretty, shy, and smart.

Audition for Gabriella if you are interested in Gabriella, Taylor, Kelsi, Martha, Ms. Tenny and any of the other female characters (teachers, students, etc.) If you don’t want to sing a solo, you don’t have to do the singing part of the audition.

Ms. Darbus

The kooky, eccentric Drama Club teacher. She has her self-absorbed moments but is still devoted to her students. Passionate about the art of theatre.

WANT TO AUDITION, BUT DON’T KNOW WHO TO AUDITION FOR? JUST AUDITION FOR TROY or GABRIELLA AND TELL US ON YOUR AUDITION FORM THAT YOU ARE FOR “ANY ROLE”

AUDITION MATERIAL

Select the character(s) you would like to audition for, and record yourself performing the scenes below. If you would like to be considered for a solo singing role, see the last couple of pages for info.

Troy Bolton (See last page for singing audition info)

“My parents’ friends are always saying, ‘Your son is the basketball guy. You must be so proud.’ Sometimes I don’t want to be ‘the basketball guy.’ I just want to be, you know, me.”

“I can’t believe you guys! Is this what you guys want to hear: Singing means nothing to me! Gabriella means nothing to me! I’ll forget the audition, forget her, and we’ll go get that championship! Everyone happy now?”
