Answer 1

Call the theatre and find out. As a rule, no, but once you get to call-backs, you may be given a scene or monologue to study overnight (read, "memorize"!). With musicals, use a similar song from another show, hopefully by the same composer. In other words, audition for Oklahoma using a song from South Pacific, King and I, or Carousel. For TV and commercials you almost always use a scene from the show being auditioned for

Answer 2

Do you mean use a monologue from the show you are auditioning for?

I make it a rule of thumb to NOT do a scene or a song from the show I am auditioning for and here is why: the director has a very definite vision of the character, and your version may clash with that vision.

Are you "allowed" to? Check with the theatre before auditioning. "Should" you? In my opinion, no.

Answer 3

YES.
