Auditions are August 22, 2025

Auditions are broken up into two parts. 

1 - Vocal Auditions 

2 - Callbacks 

1 - Vocal Auditions: Students 4-6 grade who would like to be considered for a speaking role or lead role need to do a vocal audition August 22. Sign up HERE. Vocal auditions will take place in groups of 5 in 15-minute blocks.

Please note that some of the lead characters in Seussical can be played by a boy or a girl - specifically The Cat in the Hat, Jojo, Yertle the Turtle and Vlad.  


Select ONE of the following snippets to sing for your audition. The selection should fit your voice (not too high, not too low). All the options are from the junior versions of the plays and represent ranges found in Seussical. Note: you will not sing the whole song, just the part indicated by the time code. 


During the audition you will sing to the "backing track," Please use the guide vocal track to aid in learning the song---but be prepared to sing to the backing track! Audition staff will have only the backing track to play during the audition (where applicable the snippet will start a few seconds before the singing cue). 


You are encouraged to memorize the words for their audition selection. (Lyric sheets will not disqualify an audition, but we want to see the student's face and ability to memorize.) 


You are asked to finish the selection once you start. Due to time restraints we won't have a lot of time to start over. Please help understand that the audition staff will look beyond nerves, and mistakes--especially if there is a good attitude and a smile, and an attempt to recover. (Note: The audition staff may ask you to try again if time allows, but only if they weren't able to see what we needed to see the first time.)   


The audition staff are watching for more than just singing ability! Singing ability is great, but so is being kind to the other students in your group, having a good attitude even when you are stressed or nervous, speaking loudly and clearly when it is your turn to talk, supporting other students by being quiet when it is not your turn.
