Audition for Singing in "Seussical" Musical Show

Abilene, TX, United States
ID: 277454Exp: 3/17/2025
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Seussical" Musical Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. 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: WHAT TO PREPARE: Prepare a 32-bar cut or verse/chorus from a contemporary musical in the style of Seussical. Directors ask that you prepare material from a show other than Seussical. Please apply if interested.
