Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "Seussical Jr." The Musical
Audition for "Seussical Jr." The Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant! Seussical JR. provides wonderful creative opportunities in terms of set design, lighting and costuming and can easily accommodate a large cast of expandable “Seussian” creatures.

20 roles
A smart child with a wild imagination, a little bit awkward, a little bit of a loner whose "Thinks" get them into constant trouble.
The essence of mischief, fun, and imagination. The Cat stirs things up and causes trouble but always sets things right again. Tumbling experience a plus, but not necessary.
A big-hearted, gentle giant. He is steadfast, responsible, and always tries to do the right thing. He believes in the inherent goodness of the world, so it's no surprise that he always looks for the good in others.
Mr. Mayor and Mrs. Mayor are parents trying hard to raise a child with a big imagination. They may get aggravated with JoJo, but they love him dearly.
Very self-conscious, but gains confidence throughout the show, changing from an anxious, nervous, shy bird into someone whose self-worth doesn't rest on her appearance. In other words, Gertrude realizes what's truly important in her life.
Self-centered, vain, and manipulative. She ultimately means no harm, but she's immature and makes selfish decisions.
They tease, play pranks, and get a kick out of making mischief, although often at another's expense. Preferably great movers.
A fabulous group of birds who know everything there is to know about the goings on in the jungle. Preferably great movers.
Loud, brassy, and a lot of fun. She's got a lot of attitude but isn't mean - she's just very confident. Great singer.
Sour Kangaroo's feisty daughter. She may be pint- sized, but she's got a big personality
The authoritative judge who presides over Horton's trial at the end of the show
The black-bottomed eagle who flies off with the Whos.
Arguably the most famous Seuss character of all!
Citizens of Whoville and they look a lot like you and me, only so small they are invisible to the naked eye.
