Preliminary auditions will be scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 14, 2024 at the Wortham Theater Center in downtown Houston. At these preliminary auditions, artists will be taught dance sequences from the show to demonstrate, may be asked to sing a Broadway song of their choosing, and may be asked to read lines.
