Step 1: Review Audition Info

Keep in mind that these audition songs are suitable for the JR version of Alice in Wonderland. Please read your audition details carefully, as they sometimes specify the type of song they’d like to hear (a ballad, something comedic, etc.). Make sure to select a song that’s appropriate for your casting call!


Step 2: Study the Show

Before auditioning, you should get familiar with the show. Here’s where you can learn more about Alice in Wonderland JR➝.


Step 3: Pick an Audition Song

Next, based on your personality, decide whether you’d like to audition for the ensemble or a specific character. Just keep in mind that if you audition for a specific character, you still might not be chosen for that particular role.

There’s usually a spot on the audition form asking if you are open to being in the ensemble or accepting a different role. I would suggest ticking that box and taking whatever you are offered. Every role is important, and you will earn valuable experience in a show.

And on that same note, even if you audition for the ensemble (rather than a specific character), there’s always a chance of being cast in a leading or supporting role!

To summarize, keep an open mind and try not to take the process too seriously. And when you’re ready, choose the song that you feel most comfortable with from the list below.
