John Mulaney is being very selective about who can appear in his upcoming Netflix special The Sack Lunch Bunch. In the promo above, the Broadway alum puts hopefuls through a rigorous audition process reminiscent of the opening scene of Bob Fosses All That Jazz.

Not content with adults who showed some some serious dance skills and jazz hands, Mulaney picked the kidsunsurprising, given that the special is a childrens musical variety event.

John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch drops on the streaming service December 24, with guest stars Hadestown Tony winner Andr De Shields, Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford and her Sunday in the Park With George co-star Jake Gyllenhaal, American Utopia headliner David Byrne, stage and screen veteran Richard Kind, West Side Story star Shereen Pimentel, and Russian Dolls Natasha Lyonne.
