What To Know About This Production

Take all of your favorite Dr. Seuss books and mesh them into a broadway musical, and this is what you get. The main action follows the stories of several characters who feel like they don't fit in to the world. The beauty of this piece is the message of learning to see and hear others around you, even if you don't agree or see eye-to-eye. Everyone has value and everyone has a perspective.

What To Expect At Auditions

Anyone in grades 7-12 wishing to audition for Seussical should submit a video recording of yourself singing something from a classic Broadway Musical. The song is your chance to show me what you can do (Show me your vocal range and your stage presence)! The video should be about a minute long, and must be submitted by January 18th at 11:59p.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR VIDEO SUBMISSION:

  • Record your audition video.
  • Upload the video to an online site, such as a video hosting site such as YouTube or Vimeo, or an online drive like Google Drive, One Drive, or iCloud. (When using a video hosting site, it is recommended to use "unlisted" or specific privacy settings so the video is not publicly searchable but can be viewed by anyone with the link.)
  • Get the shareable link from the hosting site.
  • Fill out the Cast98 audition form. Then paste the video link into the designated field.

Available Roles

  • The Cat in the Hat - The cat in the hat is the essence of mischief, fun and imagination. The cat stores things up, causes trouble, but always sets things right again. He helps Jojo discover the power of his own imagination as they create the story for the show together.
  • JoJo - JoJo is a young WHO child with a very BIG imagination. JoJo's imagination takes him on many adventures, but also gets him in trouble.
  • Horton the Elephant - A gents giant, rotund and appealing. Think of him as a big-hearted blue collar guy who is steadfast and responsible and always tries to do the right thing for his friends. He is imaginative and receptive to the world around him. He is very un-self-conscious.
  • Gertrude McFuzz - Gertrude is very self-conscious and aware that her on-feather tail issn' perfect. Gertrude changes during the show from a vain, neurotic, nervous and shy bird into one with the power to protect and care for a baby elephant bird and commit herself to Horton.
  • Mayzie La Bird - Mayzie is self-centered, selfish, and vain. Mayzie will never admit to her own flaws. She manipulates anyone she can into doing what she wants. But Mayzie isn't all bad and in the end does what is best for her egg.
  • Sour Kangaroo - Sour Kangaroo isn't really sour at all. She's just got a lot of attitude. She's loud, brassy and a lot of fun.
  • General Gengus Khan Schmitz - General Schmitz is bursting with pride at the military academy he runs, and the boys he turns out. He is not sadistic, mean or abusive. He is proud!
  • The Wickersham Brothers - These are not bad guys! They're simply a lot like kids who tease, play pranks and get a kick out of making mischief, although often at others' expense.
