- You may practice with the vocal guide version of the track, but we ask that you sing to the performance track at auditions. We’ll provide the music at auditions; no a Capella singing, please.
- Conflicts: you will be asked to share any conflicts you may have with the show’s rehearsal schedule. Please come prepared with your summer calendar. Please note that while we are able to work around some conflicts, too many conflicts will affect casting.
- Please bring a current photo of yourself to the audition.
- Comfortable, moveable clothing is encouraged, with hair pulled back.
- Do your homework: research the show online, read the show synopsis, listen to the music, get familiar with the characters. It’s a super fun show, and we’re looking for actors to come in and show us their unique, energetic selves!

ABOUT FINDING NEMO
Music and Lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez
Book adapted by Lindsay Anderson
Music and Orchestrations Adapted and Arranged by Myrna Conn
Based on the 2003 Disney/Pixar film written by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, David Reynolds, and directed by Andrew Stanton.
Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo is a musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar film Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (Frozen, Coco)
Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
You can find a full synopsis of the musical HERE.
