The Canadian version of the smash hit will audition thousands of women across the country. The group will be narrowed down to 200 who will be invited for callbacks in Toronto. Fifty women will be selected from this group to attend Maria School for further training.
The show will follow the "Marias" as they endure rigorous auditions, training sessions and honest evaluations. The role requires acting ability, singing ability and stage presence. Prospective Marias will need to show the nation their "favorite things," and how they can be a nun-in-training, a governess, a will-o-the-wisp and a singing sensation.
