General Information
LBMT’s Quarantunes Cabaret has a name name: Baggage Claim Cabaret – Where performers claim their song and stage! The show concept follows the same design as the original series, and the show tunes in the cabaret still revolve around a theme. So what’s the theme, you ask? This year’s theme is Valentines Day! We are looking for songs sung by lovers like “On the Street Where You Live” (My Fair Lady), “The Man I Love” (Strike Up the Band), “If I Loved You” (Carousel), “Losing My Mind” (Follies), “Someone Like You” (Jekyll & Hyde), “I’m Not That Girl” (Wicked), and “This Nearly Was Mine” (South Pacific).
To participate is simple – pick a love-themed show tune that you have been dying to perform or one that you simply belt out in the car and prepare it for an audition. That’s right, YOU pick the song that you want to sing in the show! We are looking to cast 16 performers (2 teams of 8). Everyone cast will meet two to four times with one or two of our performance coaches to fine-tune performances and bring them to the next level. Additionally, performers will participate in an ensemble number consisting of the entire cast and one with just the other members of their team.
Regular rehearsals will take place at Riverview School of Music (480 Avalon Place) in the Alta-Vista area of Ottawa starting around January 4. Rehearsals will be held on Monday/Friday evenings and/or Saturday mornings. The show will be presented to in-person audiences for 3 performances from February 13 – 15 at Trinity Church Of the Nazarene.

Please prepare a musical theatre song to do with love that you would like to sing in the show. While you may not be asked to sing the song in its entirety, please come with the whole song prepared. Please also come prepared with sheet music for our pianists to provide you with accompaniment.
A dance/movement segment of the audition will be required for all those auditioning. Please come wearing dance appropriate clothing, as you will not be able to change at the audition.
A session of callback auditions may be held at the discretion of the artistic team and may only require certain individuals. They are not an indication of whether you will be cast in the show, or are up for receiving a specific role in the production. Callbacks may not be required if the artistic team does not feel they are necessary for casting the production.
Please submit the audition application at the bottom of the page, if you would like to audition for the show.
Please Note: These are volunteer positions.
