“Limited to actual performances” doesn’t apply in this case. The auditionees sing their life stories to the director. Even if not technically dialogs but monologs, they are not performing in-universe; they are singing while “telling me about yourself.” Also, the song “Let Me Dance for You” from the movie version is a plea by Cassie to the director to give her a job, not an actual in-universe musical “performance.”
