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 for two years in a row but we will do everything we can to give you a different part the third time.
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, rehearsals start soon!
