Broadway Auditions
Does anyone know if a Broadway (yes, i actually mean NYC not just musical theater in general) audition is any different from a regular professional audition? and if so- how?
I have done enough community theater, and i've started auditioning professionally. And once I get my musical theater degree I'm going to manhattan- so I just wanted to know what is different about the Broadway auditions.

Well, let me tell you first of all Broadway is THE MOST competitive type of acting there is. It all depends on what makes you diffrent too. Directors like little quirks about people and uniqueness. Manhattan is very expensive just to let you know, so i would not stay in the city till you can support yourself. Also, you need an agent to try out for most professional shows. Its not just an open casting call or anything, you need equity cards for most shows and those are aquired through experience and an agent.

with Broadway auditions they take groups of 15 or 20 and put you through the dance audition first usually...out of that they'll pick those that they like and you'll have to do a 2nd dance audition...if you make it past that the usually have a first vocal audition and then a vocal and reading audition if they like you...then later that night they'll post a call back list and you'll come back the next day and you'll audition for parts that they think your right for if they like you and have you sing songs for those characters...I definitely wouldn't go straight to Broadway if I were you...I'd try some community theater around there...maybe a few off-off Broadway or off Broadway shows before you move straight to Broadway to get a name in the NYC theater community then it'll be easier for you to get parts because you'll have local references...just don't forget to bring a resume and headshot to all auditions.
