Kid Dancers Needed For "Seussical" The Musical

Auditions for "Seussical" The Musical are now open to kids and teens aged 6+. Please refer to the details below for more information. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime), have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping 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. Additional info: There will be a small youth ensemble in addition to the youth roles (i.e. Jojo). What to Prepare 1. 32 bars of a musical theater song in the style of the show 2. There will be no dance portion at the auditions but there WILL be a dance audition at Callbacks. Virtual Auditions are due by Friday, May 24th at 5:30 pm. See the document attached.
