INSTRUCTIONS

DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER! APPOINTMENTS ARE ONLY GIVEN AFTER ONLINE REGISTRATION AND $50 DEPOSIT ARE RECEIVED. THANK YOU! PARENTS AND PERFORMERS, PLEASE read all of the instructions below. We want your performer to have every opportunity to do their best. When they are unfamiliar with the audition selections, they are at a disadvantage. Preparation is key and will help them to feel confident. We are excited to see each performer’s unique style! Below, you will find the audition song selections we will be using. We have selected 8 song clips for the auditions. You will be singing to the exact same accompaniment you hear on this page, so please become familiar with them. Each performer should prepare 2 DIFFERENT SONG SELECTIONS. You will be considered for all the characters in the show, regardless of which songs you choose. Each selection is a combination of 2 audio tracks (Guide Vocals and Accompaniment only). The lyrics are provided directly below the audio tracks. Learn the song using the Guide Vocals, then use the Accompaniment to prepare for the audition. To practice on the SRO Website, just click link located below each song's lyrics, then practice while you read the lyrics!!! Practice as many times as you want! You can also download the tracks if that would be helpful. It is preferred that lyrics be memorized so we can see the performer act as well as sing, but you may audition with the lyrics, if ABSOLUTELY necessary. It is in their best interests to be memorized. PLEASE LISTEN TO ALL OF THE SONG SELECTIONS IN CASE WE WANT TO HEAR YOU SING ANY OF THEM. You do not have to memorize or rehearse the selections you aren't auditioning with- we just want you to have heard them and have some familiarity with them. This will benefit you in regards to other roles you for which you may be considered. You may be asked to sing parts of other songs at your audition. Additionally, we don't want you to necessarily copy the styles of the singers on the guide vocals. Feel free to sing in your own style! REMEMBER-We are here to express ourselves through music and to have FUN! You will find our audition process very easy and relaxed. We can't wait to start working with you! ~Mrs. Eileen and Mr. Dan

I Shall Scream Guide Vocals

I Shall Scream Accompaniment Track

I SHALL SCREAM (sing whole song as a solo -start at 1:38 on the track to end)

You’re a naughty bad man, if you think I can’t be proper, prim and haughty I can and you’ll pardon if I mention…you must state your true intention… Is there not another room here? If there were a bride and groom here-would there be? Well, there might. We shall see. I shall scream, I shall scream at the thought of what you’re thinking I shall scream. You will wonder where that scream went when we come to an agreement. As my lovely dove is chubby, could she love a chubby hubby? I shall scream Mr. Bumble, I shall scream Bumble Wumble, I shall scream, scream…scream

As Long As He Needs Me Guide Vocals

As Long As He Needs Me Accompaniment

AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME (start at 2:10 on the track to end)

As long as life is long, I'll love him, right or wrong. And somehow I'll be strong, as long as he needs me

If you are lonely, then you will know, when someone needs you, you love them so...

I won't betray his trust, though people say I must. I've got to stay true, just as long as he needs me

Consider Yourself Guide Vocals

Consider Yourself Accompaniment

CONSIDER YOURSELF (start at beginning, end at 1:01 on track)

Consider yourself at home. Consider yourself one of the family. We've taken to you so strong. It's clear we're going to get along. Consider yourself well in. Consider yourself part of the furniture. There isn't a lot to spare. Who cares? What ever we've got, we share! If it should chance to be we should see some harder days, empty larder days, why grouse? Always-a-chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill, then the drinks are on the house! Consider yourself our mate. We don't want to have no fuss. For after some consideration, we can state. Consider yourself, one of us!

Where is Love? Guide Vocals

Where is Love? Accompaniment

WHERE IS LOVE? (start at :42, end at 2:22)

Where is love? Does it fall from skies above? Is it underneath the willow tree that I've been dreaming of? Where is she? Who I close my eyes to see? Will I ever know the sweet hello that's meant for only me? Who can say where she may hide? Must I travel far and wide? Til I am beside the someone who I can mean something to ...Where...? Where is love?

Reviewing The Situation Guide Vocals

Reviewing The Situation Accompaniment

REVIEWING THE SITUATION (start at 3:36 to the end)

What happens when I'm seventy? Must come a time... seventy. When you're old, and it's cold and who cares if you live or you die? Your one consolation's the money you may have put by...

I'm reviewing the situation. I'm a bad 'un and a bad 'un I shall stay! You'll be seeing no transformation, But it's wrong to be a rogue in ev'ry way. I don't want nobody hurt for me or made to do the dirt for me. This rotten life is not for me. It's getting far too hot for me. Don't want no one to rob for me. But who will find a job for me? There is no in between for me. But who will change the scene for me?

I think I'd better think it out again!

It's A Fine Life Guide Vocals

It's A Fine Life Accompaniment

IT'S A FINE LIFE (start at :30, end at 1:17)

Small pleasures, small pleasures. Who would deny us these? Gin toddies -- large measures --no skimpin' if you please! I rough it, I love it. Life is a game of chance. I never tire of it, leading this merry dance. If you don't mind having to go without things, it's a fine life. Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings...it's a fine life! When you got someone to love, you forget your cares and strife. Let the prudes look down on us, let the wide world frown on us. It's a fine, fine life!

My Name Guide Vocals

My Name Accompaniment

MY NAME (start at :09, end at 1:01)

Strong men tremble when they hear it. They've got cause enough to fear it. It's much blacker than they smear it. Nobody mentions my name. Rich men hold their five pound notes out. Saves me emptyin' their coats out. They know I could tear their throats out. Just to live up to my name. With me Jemmy in me hand, lemme see the man who dares. Stop me taking what I may. He can start to say his prayers.

Boy For Sale Guide Vocals

Boy For Sale Accompaniment

BOY FOR SALE ( start at :16, sing to end)

One boy, boy for sale. He's going cheap. Only seven guineas. That or thereabouts. Small boy. Rather pale. From lack of sleep. Feed him gruel dinners. Stop him getting stout. If I should say he wasn't very greedy, I could not, I'd be telling you a tale. One boy. Boy for sale. Come take a peep. Have you ever seen as nice a boy for sale?
