Singing Opportunities for Kids in "Seussical Jr." Production

JoJo is a “Thinker”. He/she is a smart child with a wild imagination. JoJo can be played as being a little bit awkward, a little bit of a loner, or simply a rambunctious kid whose “Thinks” get him into constant trouble. By the end of the show, he/she learns what it means to be a responsible member of his/her community, using the power and possibilities of his own “Thinks".

Is the essence of mischief, fun, and imagination. The Cat stirs things up and causes trouble but always sets things right again.

Iis a gentle giant. Think of Horton as a big-hearted, blue-collar guy who is steadfast, responsible, and always tries to do the right thing. He is sympathetic and receptive to the world around him. He belies in the inherent goodness of the world, so it’s no surprise that he always looks for the good in others. Horton goes on quiet a journey throughout the show but stays true to himself, even when the going gets tough.

A parent trying hard to raise a child with a big imagination. Him and Mrs. Mayor love JoJo dearly and try their best to make the right choices as parents, even if JoJo doesn’t always understand them. He is an upstanding member of his community.

Husband to Mr. Mayor and mother of JoJo. She is an upstanding member of her community and loves JoJo dearly.

Iis very self-conscious about her one-feather tail. Gertrude 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

Is self-centered, vain, and manipulative. She ultimately means no harm, but she’s immature and makes selfish decisions. In giving up her egg to Horton once and for all, she has a moment of self-awareness – she realizes she isn’t the kind of bird who would be a good parent, and she does the best thing she can for the egg.

They are not bad guys! They tease, play pranks, and get a kick out of making mischief, although often at another’s expense.

They are a fabulous group of birds who know everything there is to know about the goings on in the jungle and support Mayzie throughout the show.

Is loud, brassy, and a lot of fun. She’s got a lot of attitude but isn’t mean – she’s just very confident and unafraid to tell it like it is.

Is the Sour Kangaroos feisty child. She/he may be pint sized, but she/he has a big personality and is following in their mother’s footsteps.

Is the authoritative judge who presides over Horton’s trial at the end of the show.

Is the black-bottomed eagle who floes off with the Whos.

Is arguably the most famous Seuss character of all! He has a brief, fun cameo in Seussical Jr.

Are the citizens of Whoville and they look a lot like you and me, only so small they are invisible to the naked eye. They are a tight-knit, supportive community
