SMCT is excited to announce auditions for our 2026 spring musical: Legally Blonde!
Performances will be held April 30th through May 10th, 2026 .
A fabulously fun award-winning musical based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde The Musical, follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances – this musical is so much fun, it should be illegal!
Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

– What does the audition consist of: The audition consists of three parts: (1) singing, (2) reading a side, and (3) learning a brief dance combination.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your selected audition time. (For those participating as a walkup, the earlier you arrive in the day/evening, the better).
You will sing and read first, choosing pieces for up to two characters. Next you will learn the dance combo with a small group. Please plan to wear clothes and shoes that you can easily move in.
Please plan for the whole of your audition to take approximately 60-90 minutes.
– I have a conflict with the show’s performance dates, can I still audition: Unfortunately at this time we can only accommodate those auditioning who are available for all performance dates.
– What happens after auditions: Our production team will take the time to review their notes to compile a list of individuals that we would like to see again at callbacks. Those individuals will be notified by email on the evening of the 7th with callbacks planned for the evening of the 8th. More details will be sent at this time.
– I didn’t get a callback, what does that mean: Do not feel discouraged! Not receiving a callback does not mean that you are not in the show.
– What does the rehearsal process consist of: Rehearsals are on Friday evenings from 6:30pm-9:30pm and Sundays 2:00pm-5:00pm. You may not be called for every rehearsal, so please be prepared to practice and rehearse on your own when not called and throughout the rest of the week. Additional rehearsals may be needed for lead characters on Tuesday and Thursday evenings but will be determined as rehearsals begin.
The first all cast rehearsal is scheduled for Friday, January 30th.
