Well if you got into the last musical with bronchitus, you must be pretty good!

Well the first thing a person will notice is your overall image!. You don't want to come across as a rebel, grungy, overly proud, you get the point!.
Look natural and decent and have your hair down!. Don't wear anything too dramatic either!. Your personality matters too - which means not to be obnoxious or too anxious or eager or anything!. Laid-back and cool is best!.
Okay now obviously that's not all there is!. I don't know if you are auditioning for a school play or a community theater, but most theaters require you to sing a 16 measure song from standard musical theater selections!. You'll also be taught a dance and required to perform it, most likely with a group, and you'll also read from a monologue!. There are a lot of songs to choose from and you'll have to pick what you are best at!. When you read from the monologue, be sure to use facial expressions and a little bit of action as well, as well as when you're singing!. When you dance be sure to smile!.

I would have more to say, but there's no really specific question here, so if you have any more questions, just email me!. :-)

I wish you the best of luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
