AUDITION MUSICPLEASE PREPARE THE MUSIC OF THE CHARACTERS YOU WOULD LIKE TO AUDITION FOR. Rona Lisa Peretti/Olive's Mom
Rona is the sharp-tongued, cynical, and slightly exasperated adult who serves as the official pronouncer and coordinator of the spelling be. She acts as the arbiter of rules and pronunciation, delivering the words with precise diction and a dry, often condescending or sarcastic demeanor when dealing with the contestants or Vice Principal Panch. Please sing one song as Rona and the other as Olive's Mom. Rona's Favorite part of the Bee section starts at about 0:50.

Mitch Mahoney
A former convict, Mitch is serving his community service sentence by being the "Official Comfort Counselor" of the bee. When a student is eliminated, Mitch gives them a juice box and leads them offstage, offering his best attempt at an encouraging talk. Please sing a portion of the "Prayer of the Comfort Counselor" song. There are various styles this song can be performed in. The Broadway version is the gospel style. If you prefer to sing in a folk or pop style that is okay too.

William Barfee
William is the quirky, awkward, and highly intelligent contestant best known for his signature "magic foot" technique, which he uses to tap out letters while spelling. A self-proclaimed perfectionist and overachiever, William is socially awkward and struggles with communicating with his peers. Please sing "Magic Foot" up until the chorus joins. Be creative with the character. You do not need to sound just like the Broadway version, so play with it and make it work for your voice/character.
