Seeking Teens for "Seussical" Musical
Teen performers are welcome to audition for "Seussical" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Seussical, sometimes Seussical the Musical, is a musical with lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, music by Stephen Flaherty, and a story co-written by both. It is based on the works of Dr. Seuss, with most of its plot drawing from Horton Hears a Who!, Gertrude McFuzz, and Horton Hatches the Egg. The title is a portmanteau of "Seuss" and "musical". Despite a negative critical reception and significant financial losses during its initial Broadway run in 2000, Seussical has since had a revival in popularity, with two US national tours, a West End production, and numerous adaptations for schools and regional theaters. This synopsis describes the tour version of the show, currently being licensed as "Seussical the Musical" by Music Theatre International (MTI). Seussical weaves a story of friendship, loyalty, and love. Despite all odds, Horton and Gertrude band together to save the Whos, free Horton, and restore peace and unity to the Jungle of Nool! The charming story of Seussical teaches us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.
