Designed for the whole family, the production celebrates imagination, wonder, curiosity, and the joy of stepping into the unexpected. Audition Date: Monday 14 & Wednesday 16 September 2026 Audition Time: Young performers – 4:30pm–5:30pm group session Adult/Lead roles – from 5:30pm Audition Location and Address: Noosa Arts Theatre, 163 Weyba Road, Noosaville QLD 4566 Audition Requirements: The audition process is intended to be friendly, relaxed, and fairly quick. The team is looking for personality, connection to the material, imagination, and responsiveness to direction rather than memorisation or imitation of well-known screen versions. Auditionees do not need to use accents or costumes. For young performers, enthusiasm, confidence, imagination, and a willingness to work as part of a team are valued more highly than prior stage experience. For adult/core roles: Prepare a short song of your own choice, approximately 60 seconds. The song does not need to be from a musical or resemble the style of Wonderland. The song may be performed with a backing track or unaccompanied. If using a backing track, have it cued and ready on your own phone/device. Read the supplied audition extract for the role you are most interested in. Memorisation is not required, though auditionees should be very familiar with the excerpt. You may be asked to repeat part of the scene after receiving a different direction. A short, simple movement/dance combination may also be taught. This is intended to assess rhythm, confidence, character, and willingness to participate rather than advanced dance technique. For young performers: Auditions will mainly take place as a group. The session may include a short warm-up, simple dance/movement routine, group singing, character reactions, and a short reading for performers interested in featured/speaking roles. A prepared solo is optional for young performers.
