Please review audition information on the General Audition Information page for CTC audition procedures.

If you are planning to audition, please be aware of the theme and plot of this musical.  If you are uncomfortable with portraying a character in Germany during the Nazi invasion, or a scantily clad and explicit Kit Kat Klub performer, this is not the show for you.  We require all that audition to be 18 years old or older.
