Ragtime audition songs
One of my local theaters is planning on doing a production of Ragtime and I’m thinking of trying out for either Evelyn Nesbit or Emma Goldman. I saw for the audition notice that they want auditionees to prepare a 16-bar cut of a song that’s in the style of a show. When they say a song that’s in a 16 bar cut, do they mean a song that’s from a show by the same composer or a song that’s from a musical that has a similar theme and tone to Ragtime? I would like some clarification please and thank you.
I would also like to know what songs would be good to use if I were to audition for Emma Goldman or Evelyn Nesbit too please.
