Answer 1

First, because it is an open call, you can expect it to be attended by hundreds of people. All the women will be over 18 and have varying degrees of experience.

You would have to arrive hours earlier because it will be crowded.

You will sign in and be assigned a number (maybe even a group) and you would hand in your resume and headshot.

Then you will wait and wait for your number to be called.

When called you will have to sing for whatever character you are auditioning for. They will most likely have you sing 16 bars of "Tonight Quintet" or begining of "America". They might tell you right after you sing if they want you continue on with the auditions or they might have you wait until a group of ladies complete their auditions , or they might call you back later...all depends. Either later that day or another day, they might call you back to read....If they want someone fluent in spanish I am sure they will want to hear you speak in Spanish.

They will continute to call you until they have seen enough. The auditions could go on for days or it could be weeks in between them contacting you. It all depends on how they work.

In all you will do a lot of waiting....I wish you the best of luck!
