How would I go about getting an audition?

I suspect that the only

I suspect that the only auditions will be in Sydney, if they are happening at all, and you will either need an agent or need to be a student at one of a very small number of stage or dance schools. I doubt that there will be open auditions. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au

There will be auditions all over Australia and New Zealand. Finding the right children for the part is a rigorous job. The auditions will most likely be open. We'll try to share more info on the website above. Good luck to your son!

Can someone please tell me how to get some information on the auditions for the girls in Billy Elliot. Thanks Georgia!
Walter PlingeSun, 22 Oct 2006, 01:21 am

obvious...

im sure everyone knows this already but hey for the sake of stating the obvious... the boys they will be looking to cast in the production will have to not only look young but sound young, broken voices are useless in the musical and being to tall is a guaranteed knockback... all im saying is dont waste your time if your 14 or 15 because even if your voice hasnt broken they will almost certainly be too scared to cast you in case you have a growth spurt or your voice breaks during rehearsal... a strong ballet is also looked for etc etc... but goodluck to all those hopefuls...

BILLY ELLIOTT

IT STATES IN THE INFO RECEIVED FROM THE AGENT THAT THE BOY IS BETWEEN 9 AND 13, LESS THAN 5 FOOT AND UNBROKEN VOICE. THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO BALLET, TAP AND GYMNASTICS HOWEVER DO NOT NEED TO HAVE ALL SKILLS AT THE AUDITION. HAS ANYBODY HEARD WHEN THE AUDITION DATES ARE IN ANY STATE. AT THIS STAGE I AM STILL WAITING FOR A TIME FOR PERTH BUT WONDER IF ANY OF THE OTHER STATES HAVE STARTED THE AUDITIONS.
Walter PlingeSun, 22 Oct 2006, 09:25 pm

Also it states in the

Also it states in the audition info that they are not auditioning the girls at this stage and will do this mid 2007
Walter PlingeSun, 29 Oct 2006, 11:16 am

Hmmm...

Too bad for me i guess. I'm 13 and my voice has broken and I really wanted to audition for it. Wish they did it earlier. I'm alright for everything it's just my voice is the only thing wrong. Not happy! Braiden

BILLY ELLIOTT AUDITIONS

YOU STILL HAVE TO TRY. YOU NEVER KNOW THEY MIGHT SEE SOMETHING IN YOU THEY CAN WORK WITH. NEVER TAKE ANYTHING THEY WRITE AS GOSPEL.
Walter PlingeSun, 29 Oct 2006, 03:07 pm

Do you know when the Melbourne auditions are?

NO I ONLY KNOW WHEN THE PERTH ONE IS. THE LINK ABOVE CONTACTS THE AGENT RACHEL MOONEY SO YOU SHOULD EMAIL HER WITH YOUR DETAILS AND THEY WILL LET YOU KNOW.
Walter PlingeSun, 29 Oct 2006, 05:52 pm

actually... if they have

actually... if they have stated that they want an unbroken voice i'd pretty much take that as gospel...
Walter PlingeMon, 30 Oct 2006, 01:49 am

wel..

Well about 2 of the boys in the UK Billy Elliot Muscial had broken voices so they probably dont mind...

Sydney auditions are on Fri

Sydney auditions are on Fri 3 Nov. Brisbanes on either 23, 24 or 25 Nov. Have no idea about the other cities yet.
Show PonyWed, 1 Nov 2006, 07:02 pm

I would think if they say

I would think if they say no broken voices and no tall than 5' they mena it. If your voice has already broken by the time Jan 08 arrives there is no way you will sound like a 11-12 yr old boy.

Dates for Adelaide Auditions

My son will be 9 in 2008. He does all types of dancing, singing, acting and tap. Could he apply for an audition in Adelaide when you come? And where abouts is the adelaide audition being held? He has been dancing since the age of 3 at Mighty Good Talent School. Thanks Julie
Neville TalbotFri, 10 Nov 2006, 05:16 pm

Don't mean to be rude

But could people make the effort to actually read the posts above before posting another "how do I get my son into an audition?" There are several links to info, email addresses for specific agents, and all questions that can be answered on this site are answered. All above! This isn't the only thread it is happening on, but it certainly has produced an inordinate amount of them. Reading info posted and using it efficiently is an absolute key to succeeding in the business, so now is a good time to start... grumpy nev It's the simple things stupid...
