Go ahead and ask, but be prepared for the person making the call not being able to tell you anything. Also, don't be surprised if you don't get a call, even though they said they would. The rule in my experience is that I don't get a call unless they want me for callbacks. Though sometimes for chorus slots they don't need you for callbacks, either, and you get cast. But it's always OK to call and ask if you don't get a call from them, and then you can use the opportunity to ask for some feedback. And I always like to know who they DID cast, because that gives me the best idea of what they were looking for - I often find this out through the grapevine, which you'll get clued into (if you aren't already) after you've been to a few of these auditions.
