Part 1: The Audition​

Goal: Please the Judges
Choose the music audition for the new song "Western" OR the dance audition for the new dances "Theatrical" and "Theatrical 2". This quest line is repeatable if you would like to learn both the song and dances (both dances at once).

You will have 30 seconds to make your way onto the stage and stand ready before the judges. Some of them can be quite unnerving so no matter how long they make you wait, do not say or do anything... wait until they give you instructions. Expect to play certain phrases of certain songs at their request.

• Do not start performing until asked to by the panel.
• KEEP playing! Use /changemusic OR /changedance command (suggest making a macro for each song/dance /startMusic/dance x; /changemusic/dance x)
• There should be 2 flourishes change song/dance, 2 flourishes
• If you are a musician (and grouped) ensure that there are no other musicians performing in your group.

IF you fail, try again in 24 hours. Do take note of the time, there is no in game notice.

Part 2: Advertising​

Goal: Entertain 10 people

Ten unique people (Alts do count) entertained by YOU as an individual with /watch or /listen for 2 seconds only. When you have your fan club, head back to any theater manager to start your performance. There are in game notices "x number of people still needed."
*Known issue: It has been reported that you may not receive the last notice when complete.

Part 3: First Show​

Goal: Perform dance or music to satisfy your audience
Time: 120 seconds to poll the audience, approximately 1 minute to perform
Audience expectation: 1 song/dance preferred, 1 flourish preferred, 1 flourish disliked

Talk to the NPC audience. Find which songs/dances and flourishes they love/hate. Perform the things they like, avoid what they hate.

TIPS for all shows:

• Area defined as the 'stage' is not the entire stage. Center front is necessary. If you are off to the side, you will fail.
• *RUMOR* Even if dance option was chosen, you may perform the shows using music. Cuts the risk of dance drift causing failure.
• Talk to each member of the NPC audience. They will not change their script.
• Audience NPCs may not all spawn at once. Talk to every audience member. Use a friend to help if needed.
• Although the audience direct you, do not limit yourself to specified dances/songs/flourishes.
• Start performing a second or 2 early.
• Use flourishes, and the dances/songs the audience wants, change the dance/song frequently.
• Avoid doing any dances, songs or flourishes the audience dislikes.

IF you fail, try again in 24 hours. Do take note of the time, there is no in game notice.
