PERFORMERS – Broadway Theatre Experience Workshop
- Your Broadway Theatre Experience will include a vocal workshop and a “mock” Broadway Musical audition. You will require Sheet Music for the Broadway Vocals Workshop. 2 x Musical Items (2 Different Styles). No Backing Tracks. There will be a musical accompanist. That’s the way they do auditions for Broadway Theatre.
TOUR CASH.
Time to organise your USA Cash and/or Travellers Cheques.
American Express traveller’s cheques are recommended. They have lots of USA Offices and encashment can be commission free in the USA. Same day replacement for lost/stolen cheques has worked well for CATW groups in the past.
TOUR Day 1.
You are all wondering what happens on Day 1?
What time do we have to be at the Airport? What do we do? When…? Why..?
For your information, there are extracted pages relating to Day 1/Day 2 from the Tour Hand Book.
It would be helpful if you would read this information Pre-Tour.
