Singing Audition for "Seussical" the Musical Show

The essence of mischief, fun, and imagination. The Cat stirs things up, causes trouble, but always sets things right again. He or she is the host and emcee of the evening, playing many comic minor parts throughout the story, sometimes improvising with the audience, and a presence in almost every scene. Strong singer with strong movement skills and comic ability.

An elephant and a citizen of the Jungle of Nool. Gentle, big­hearted, appealing. He is very imaginative and believes in the world’s goodness. He is responsible and always tries to do the right thing for his friends. He is responsible for saving the planet Who and in doing so befriends JoJo. Strong singer/actor with good comic timing.

A bird and a citizen of the Jungle of Nool. Very self­conscious, shy, and nervous at first, she grows into a kind and caring protector. She is in love with Horton and does what she can to get his attention, including foolishly growing an enormous feathered tail. She is a bit naïve at times, but always is a voice of reason. Strong singer/actor with good movement skills and comic timing.

A bird and a citizen of the Jungle of Nool. Self­centered, selfish and vain. She manipulates anyone she can (especially Horton) into doing what she wants, but she isn’t all bad. Strong singer/actor with strong movement skills. Very comic.

A kangaroo and a citizen of the Jungle of Nool. She isn't really sour at all: she's just got a lot of attitude. She's loud, brassy and a lot of fun. Is the main antagonist and the cause of all Horton’s trouble. A strong singer/actor with good comic ability and soulful singing.

WICKERSHAM BROTHERS Three monkey brothers and citizens of the Jungle of Nool. 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. They side with the Sour Kangaroo in her campaign against Horton and cause more trouble for poor Horton. Strong singer/movers with lots of soulful singing.

Three sassy birds and citizens of the Jungle of Nool. Self­centered "back up birds" who do whatever Mayzie does. They often act as storytellers, picking up where The Cat left off. A big presence throughout the evening. Good singer/movers with lots of soulful singing.

The Mayor of Whoville and his wife. They try hard to raise their son JoJo in a difficult world. They may get aggravated with JoJo, but they love him dearly and try to do the right thing, even if it turns out to be a mistake. Strong singers/actors.

A young boy. JoJo is a Who and is the only child of the mayor and his wife. A “Thinker” ­­ a smart child with a wild imagination. A little bit awkward, a little bit of a loner, or simply a rambunctious kid whose “Thinks” get him into constant trouble. In the end, his Thinks save his planet. Strong singer/actor.

A Who General who is bursting with pride at the military academy he runs, and the boys he turns out. He is not mean; he honestly thinks he is doing the right thing and is making the world a better place. Strong singer/actor with comedic ability.
