Thank you all for your participation. Your choreographers strive to make this a positive experience and thus our policy is that everyone gets a part. For this reason we wish to remind you that this cast list is final and we will not accept conferences or e-mails about placement. It is typical to have the same part a few years in a row.
Understudies: Once you've learned your part you don't have to come to every rehearsal.
Read entire cast list, you may have 2 parts!
Check your schedule some rehearsals start this weekend!
Good luck to all our dancers and keep checking back for your 2025 cast.
