Auditions- Fall 2025

Singing Audition

Please pick one of the songs below.  We will want to hear you sing about 1 minute of the song.  WE do not have the tracks available at this time. You can find the Broadway Soundtrack in iTunes and Spotify. Lyrics are also available. Just google them. 


A singing audition is not mandatory, however, it does let us know who is ready for a lead or a featured solo. 


 Song Suggestions. 

You can sing any song for any character, or you can pick a song that is not in this show as long as it shows your vocal range. It is up to you. We just want to hear your voice. 

Wonka- Pure Imagination, The Candy Man

Grandpa Joe- I’ve got a golden ticket

Charlie - Golden Ticket, Willy Wonka

Mrs. Bucket - If Your Father Were Here

Augustus Gloop - More of Him To Love

Veruca Salt - When Veruca Says

Voilet Beauregarde - Queen of Pop

Mike Teavee - Little Man of Mine


Below you will also find a hand full of short scripts. We I’ll ask you which two characters you would like to be considered for so please learn the scene with the characters you have picked. If your character is not in any of the scripts, please chose any script to learn. If we would like to see you read for a different part, we will ask you at the audition. 


WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO SEE IF YOU CAN READ! WE WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE CHARACTER YOU AUDITIONING FOR. WE RECOMMEND, FOR THE BEST IMPRESSION, THAT YOU MEMORIZE THE SCRIPT SO YOU ARE NOT STUCK BEHIND A PIECE OF PAPER! WE WANT TO SEE YOUR PERSONALITY!! 


Characters: This list gives you the character description and what we are looking for in the actor.

Willy Wonka

The sly, charming star of the show. Lithe, eccentric. His larger than life persona can go from charming and comical, to magically mysterious and dark.

Charlie Bucket 

Sweet, smart, hopeful and loving. A boy with wonderful innocence and vulnerability.

Grandpa Joe 

Impish. He is Charlie's imaginative, fun, kind and loving grandfather. After many years being confined to a bed, his childish energy returns when Charlie finds the Golden Ticket.

Mrs. Bucket

Charlie's warm and kind-hearted mother. Worrier. Generous and loving.

Grandma Josephine

Grandma Georgina

Grandpa George 

Mrs. Gloop

Augustus's German, moronic, Wagnerian mother. Mirthlessly smiles as though it were affixed to the front of her face.

Augustus Gloop 

Rampantly over-active.

Mr. Salt

Veruca's goofy, eccentric, distracted, hilarious father. Finds it impossible to say no, giving in to every ridiculous demand his daughter makes.

Veruca Salt

Vicious and determined.

Mr. Beauregarde (Can also be cast at Mrs. Beauregarde)

Violet's ineffectual father. Ignores his back-talking, insult-hurling daughter.

Violet Beauregarde 

Confident, forward, and full of attitude.

Mike Teavee

A fireplug with a ridiculous amount of energy.

Mrs. Teavee

She needs amphetamines to get through the day and deal with her outrageous son. Tense, extreme, and hilarious.

Mrs. Green

A vegetable seller.

Jerry 

TV Reporter 

Cherry 

TV Reporter 

Casting Process

Casting is always a challenge.  Although everyone can't be a lead, we try to ensure everyone is featured and has their moment. Cast lists will be emailed before the second rehearsal. 

Audition Scripts

Pick on scene or monologue to audition with. You do not have to memorize it but you should know it well enough that you don't have to read from the page the whole time. Make big choices when you are creating a character for your audition. Again, we don't want to see you just reading. We want to see a performance. There are no wrong choices. Be BRAVE! We may ask you to read for different characters during the audition.  If you are auditioning for Grandpa Joe, learn Wonka part inthe Charlie/Wonka Scene. If you are auditioning for one of the parents, learn the scene or monologue for their child.

Auditions- Fall 2025 Teen Company

Singing Audition

Below you will find our music recommendations for your vocal audition. If you would like to sing a song not uploaded here, please let us know and we will download it for you. 


We will not be providing scenes to prepare. If we decide we need to see the actors read from the script, we will provide them on the day of auditions and workshop those scenes as we go. 


THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE WANT YOU TO KNOW: We want you to tell us an honest story with your song. Remember all the skills we have taught you and connect to the material. If you are new to Jazz Hands, listen to the words and the music and show us, without pushing, an honest interpretation of the character and the story they are telling.
