"Seussical the Musical" Needs Boys and Girls

Talents ages 5 and up for "Seussical the Musical". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: A musical perfect for the whole family, Seussical takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and JoJo. The Cat in the Hat guides us into The Jungle of Nool, where we see Horton, the kind-hearted elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing Whoville. He meets JoJo, a Who child sent to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton decides he must protect the speck of dust on a nearby clover, while at the same time protecting an abandoned egg left to his care by the lazy Mayzie la Bird. Horton tries to convince the other animals in The Jungle of the existence of the Whos, but he is ridiculed and put on trial for insanity. Only his loyal neighbor, Gertrude McFuzz, never loses faith in him. Eventually, the two fall in love. Additional info: Auditionees should prepare 1-2 musical theatre style songs that showcase their talent best, 32 bars each. They should also be prepared to read from a Dr. Seuss book. (Young children will not be asked to do this) Please have Thursday, July 24th, available for callbacks. Please bring sheet music, but a speaker will be provided for backing tracks if preferred. Resumes and Headshots are strongly encouraged. Please have a list of conflicts for all of August and September ready. There will be a tentative schedule available to look at on the day of the auditions. Show Dates are September 19-21, 2025. If interested, please apply.
