• If you have long hair it must be pulled back off your face
• Models will learn a short dance routine and perform this as part of a large and small group.
• It will be an advantage if you feel confident performing and understand the basics of rhythm

Yes, and we would prefer it if females wear make-up.

All professional dance roles have been filled. Dancers will also be cast as models, so if you meet the height and age criteria then we encourage you to apply as a model.

At the end of the July audition, we will select a smaller group of models to stay and participate in a workshop, the final selected group of models will be asked to attend fittings in August. It is likely all models who attend the fittings will be allocated garments, but we cannot guarantee this.

Yes, this is a paid role, payment is dependent on the amount of garments you are selected to wear, this is determined by garment fit and model movement capability.

• Rehearsals start the first week in August and continue through until the Show opens on Wednesday 20^th September – Sunday 8^th October, 100% commitment to all rehearsals and Shows is absolutely essential
• There are six sections in the Show, each section is rehearsed on different days of the week and you will be called in only for the sections you are cast in, most models are required 3-4 evenings and 1-2 weekend days
• Rehearsals generally run Monday to Thursday evenings 5:45pm – 10:30pm and Saturday and Sundays 10am-6pm, rehearsal venue is yet to be determined

No, there is no Children’s section in the 2017 Show, so we will not be auditioning for children.
