The director may give you advice about how to read a certain line, or how to read the whole scene. If that happens, try to incorporate the suggestions in your performance, even if it seems odd or wrong. Everyone will notice how well you take direction, and that has a huge impact on whether or not a person gets cast.
I've heard of auditions where they ask auditioners to bring a one-to-two minute memorized monologue to perform, but that is extremely rare, and usually only in professional auditions. I've never had to prepare a monologue for an audition.
For most musicals, there will be a dancing audition. Don't panic about this, either! Some auditions don't even have dance auditions, and if they do, they are frequently very easy steps, just to see how gracefully auditioners move, or if they can move on the beat, or even if they know their right from their left! Do your best, but ultimately, choreographers are most interested in who looks energized and exciting while moving in time with music. If you have dance training, so much the better, but it is not usually necessary, unless it is a huge tap dancing show (like Crazy For You), or unless you are auditioning for a specific part that needs ballet (like the Dream Ballet dancers in Oklahoma!).
If you mess up the steps, put your feet in the wrong place, or forget what to do with your hands, it is not the end of the world. Even very polished dancers mess up sometimes. It's just like the reading audition: you are doing this without any prior practice, so no one expects you to be perfect. However, when you miss something, it is important that you keep smiling and keep going! A big smile and an air of confidence can hide a multitude of mistakes with your feet. Actual dancers can take note of this, too. Even if you do the steps perfectly, if you are not doing something interesting with your face, or if you look like you're really concentrating hard instead of enjoying it, the staff may pick someone with slightly less dancing ability, who looks like they're having fun.
