Singing Audition for "Seussical" Show

Abilene, TX, United States
ID: 579903Exp: 3/17/2025
Description:

Kids ages 8 and up are invited to audition for the "Seussical" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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: Prepare a 32-bar cut or verse/chorus from a contemporary musical in the Seussical style. We ask that you prepare material from a show other than Seussical. Directors are asking all auditionees to perform their selections with a live collaborative pianist, who will be provided at the audition. All auditionees must bring their own sheet music, clearly marked with start, and stop. PERFORMANCES ARE: JUNE 20-22 & JUNE 27-28, 2025. REHEARSALS BEGIN LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY 2025. (Rehearsals are typically held Monday-Friday, 6:30-9:30 PM. If interested, please apply.
