The girl who plays the Sour Kangaroo in my play slays at her part it's AMAZING(the baby kangaroo is adorable too!) !! She knows a lot of her lines and it's only been a few practices! I'm a who and kinda wish I was a jungle citizen or bird girl because I like the songs in the Jungle of Nool better!
I'm Horton. Our wickershams are trash. They don't sing, they speak and they don't even want to be in the play. No offence wickershams if ur reading this
I was the Sour kangaroo in my production of Seussical jr and it was my first time ever in a musical. Little kids wanted autographs and a little girl curtsied to me and I curtsied back! We had to be in character when we went to the bathroom during intermission and people wanted pictures with me! I loved playing this character and I made a lot of memorize during this experience☺️
Aisha Helton I am sour kangaroo in the Seussical and its my first play ever to perform and I'm really nervous and this last week I lost my voice any advice
In my play I'm the sour kangaroo and it's my first lead and I'm so excited it's in two weeks... this is the sassiest role ever. I'm super scared though too.. my double who just got back from vacation is super good as well but we're really good friends and I feel like I'm not doing my best. I'm super amazed at her and I don't know how to be like her.. So I was saying my part my best and today my teacher just gave me a compliment and told me that I did the best. It gave me confidence and I'm super excited to be the sour kangaroo💕if you liked this can I get twenty likes💖💖💜💜thank you
Auditions are in a few days and I'm hoping for Sour Kangaroo! My BFFs are auditioning for Gertrude, Horton and Mayzie and we're all so excited! To all my fellow actors, break some legs!! Edit: I got Mayzie! Not what I was expecting, but I'm still excited!!
I’m a bird girl omg I love my part I’m everybody’s posse and I’m in 14-16 songs, I’m a fish and might be a who in two songs since I’m not in any songs before or after for a while. We all have more songs than Mayzie I feel like we’re basically leads too
Oh, hai! I saw this comment and went, "OMG, it's my drum major!" Then I ran to my mother and said, "See? I'm not the only one who goes home and listens to our music!"
It's hard to believe it's all over... I was the Sour Kangaroo and we just finished last night. Everything went by so quickly, I love my friends that I met there and all the inside jokes we shared. At the end, on of the ensemble members gave me a drawn picture of the Sour Kangaroo. She did one of Horton, Mayzie, and my character. That just made me want to cry. At first I was skeptical of this show but I've fallen in love with it. Right now I'm in that haze after you finish a show and it's killing me. All I can to explain how I feel right now, well... 'Twas a sour kangaroo :)
I just saw last night that I got the Sour kangaroo and was so excited!!! when i first heard seussical for my last play with the place im at, i was like, "what... 😒 srsly?" but im definitly warming up to it more!!! Hopefully by the end i'll feel like you did (and i probably will cause its my last one 😭)
I'm playing Wickersham #2 in January and I'M SO PUMPED! Our casting is SO ADORABLE!!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS NOBODY UNDERSTANDS NOT EVEN THE OTHERS IN THE SHOW WITH ME!!
Our opening night is in exactly one month from now, and all I can say is that I will be very.. I don't know. At first I thought this production would be childish and silly (which I was obviously wrong), but I have really come to love the Suessical and its song!
I’m the sour kangaroo in my towns production of suessical jr,and very excited!But this is the song that I most worried doing since she sings very sassy in her songs!But I have gotten so much support and compliments so it’s helping my confidence!🤩
Yesss!!! Its gonna be hard for me to get all those sassy notes, but all my friends knew i would get this part from the beginning and they believe in me so it makes me feel better abt it :)

Ah yes, my favorite song in the musical, sung by one of my favorite antagonist in theatre ( before she gets shoved into the sidelines and isn't relevant age until near the of the Whole DarN PRODUCTION!!) RAGE's elsewhere.
im currently in this musical and we've made some changes to this song nd a few others, its a really fun to work with and it seems like itd be a great performance no matter who was performing it because its just a really fun piece with lots of energy :)
thank you so much for this! now I could practice my vocals correctly, in my broadway show I have at school! i am playing sour kangaroo and you helped me so much! thank you for this, I truly appreciate it! HAHA U WROTE THIS SO LONG AGO WHEN I WAS LIKE 12 😭 p.s I never got sour kangaroo I actually got mayzie
I just got casted as Sour Kangaroo and I’m currently working on this song! I’m looking at all my lines and songs rn and I’m excited to see what’s to come!
Im sorry but the Sour Kangaroo should be 10 times more sassier than the woman that's singing in this song and also she should be more powerful and riff tons! I played the Sour Kangaroo and I decided to sing it like the Broadway version
HAHAHAHA, oh my god you're serious. The broadways Horton is a man who you would think they got off the streets and decided they wanted the nasaliest person ever, but the broadway kangaroo- I mean Kangaree? Seriously, why would you think that?
I got cast as young kangaroo and i was so happy. I could have gotten sour kangaroo but because i was really short they cast me as young kangaroo. It was a really fun experience for me and i wish i could do it again.
But.. Why does Horton keep saying A person's a person no matter how small? (Oh yeah I am going to comment on a lot of these songs so please don't think I'm offending anyone who is Seussical lovers but I'm just curious)
I’m so mad rn. I couldn’t make it to auditions for seussical. I’m also very greatly though, because I’ve known the director for a long time so I got a part.
@davisbrandont Thanks for your advice! I already memorized my lines and half of the songs I don't even sing in x) I just love how silly and random the Cat gets to be and I can't wait to leave the crowd with stars in their eyes :) Anyway I've got to go pluck some feathers from Gertrude McFuzz! Plus I've gotta go help JoJo see all the thinks he can think!
I just passed up 2 people to get sour kangaroo they were horrible so my teacher was like "Kiya I need you" I was like yess I know you do". Lol I am so excited the pmay is in March!! wish me luck.
I’m auditioning for this show in a week for either Sour Kangaroo or Maizie. I’m pretty sure I have a good chance since I’ll be one of the older people there

(GERTRUDE remains behind for one moment, looking at HORTON longingly.)
GERTRUDE
On the fifteenth of May, Miss Gertrude McFuzz
Discovered how truly unique Horton Was.
But she knew to approach him
Would probably fail,
'Cause who'd notice a bird
With a one feather tail?
(GERTRUDE exits dejectedly. HORTON is alone with the speck. He listens closely.)
MAYOR (Offstage, tiny and distant)
Help! Help!
CAT
Then the voice came again.
Calling over and over...
MAYOR (Offstage, tiny and distant)
Help! Help!
CAT
So he tried to think
Who might be down on that clover.
HORTON
Hello? Is anyone there?
(MR. and MRS. MAYOR are revealed.)
Who are you?
Correct
i read this a couple times and found a mistake. JoJo says its on channel two, not the bird girls. But the rest is goood
PegasusGirlGamer // PGG no it’s not
PegasusGirlGamer // PGG your the one that’s wrong lol
#thinginmyshow
So glad I got this part! Wonderful experience!
“Somebody’s thinking different than us” and I felt that
I played the sour kangaroo when I was 9 in a school play and now I’m on broadway :) fond memories
"he's fat he's dumb he's slow"
me :same
;)
This is one of my favorite songs in the play I’m bird girl 1!
My friend is playing as the Sour Kangaroo and she’s really excited! We were both surprised off what she had to sing 😂
I just got the role of sour kangaroo in our school production and I haven’t stoped watching this since 😆
I've been given the part of a wikersham brother 😀
Same lol
Same I’m number 2
me too
A lot of my friends are Wickershams and it seems like so much fun (I'm Horton)
same
I know I'm not in this song, but I'm playing The Mayor in a production of this. I'm so excited!
Legend of awesome productions I'm your son then
i dont hear anyone being vlad vladikof
so here i am!!! :D
i get to say my name!!!! :D and thats it!
im also a jungle creature
eh. better than stage crew
Glory the hybrid I got vlad vladikof to gotta practice saying my one line
Nate Fishel yea man it s like really hard especially since we'll make a dramatic exit and never be seen again
Glory the hybrid yea the only time we'll be seen again is in the people vs Horton
Nate Fishel vlad has a solo there?
Glory the hybrid no but in my play I come back in people vs Horton
We did this last year I was jungle ensemble it was lit the kid who played Horten had us crying every show and rehusle because his voice is Butefull
I remember when I did this song in a community play during summer...I played the main sneetch, a fish and a hunter....During this part I had to wave around big tree branches with ornaments, they ALWAYS got tangled! XD Don`t let a 4th grader wave around tree branches...
favorite song! i was just casted as sour kangaroo, so excited! wickersham brothers=my partners in crime;)
At our theatre, a guy plays it! He is so awesome!!
I am a who!! and I love it!!!!💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙
I got the sour kangaroo
a.s I was sour kangaroo in mine
my show was last week, i was yertle and it was actually one of the best plays at my school
Humpf, humpfed a voice
'Twas a sour kangaroo
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said
"Humpf" too
Why that speck is as small as the head of a pin
A person on that? Why there never has been
You're the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
And I don't care who I tell
The biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
And I think so as well
Maybe I'm nasty, maybe I'm cruel
But you're the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
It's true, please believe me, I tell you sincerely
My ears are quite keen and I heard him quite clearly
I know there's a person down there and what's more
Quite likely there's two, even three, even four
Ha, laughed a voice
Ha, laughed some others
Ha, ha, ha, laughed the Wickersham brothers!
Oh, he's the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
And monkeys like us should know
We've been out on a limb
Lookin' down on him but he's fat, dumb
He's slow
Elephants ain't too swift as a rule
But he's the biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool
'Cause he's talkin' to a speck
Talkin' to a speck, to a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Noo
Talkin' to a speck, talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
R E S P E C K
Oh, please, take that speck away
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
Through the jungle, the news quickly spread
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
He talks to a dust speck, he's out of his head
Our topic today is Psychic elephants who hear voices
Whaddaya think, folks, is the elephant off his trunk?
Don't go away we'll he right back with speck
Clover, dust, "eighbor, 'who, stay tuned
Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
I'm Gertrude McFuzz and I live right next door
He's never done anything crazy before
Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
He's always been friendly and loyal and kind
I just don't believe Horton's out of his mind
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
I'm Mayzie La Bird
And I live in that tree
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Did you, did you hear?
Enough about Horton
Let's talk about me
Let's talk about, talk about
Talk about, talk about me
Talkin' to a speck, talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jngle of Nool
Talkin' to a speck, talkin' to a speck
To a speck of dust
Blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
I just have to save them, because after all
A person's a person no matter how small
A person's a person no matter how
Biggest blame fool in the Jungle of Nool
In the Jungle anywhere
Said the big nervous wreck who's protecting a seck
When he knows there's no one there
Acting as if he's holding a jewel
Somebody stuck a trunk on a mule
Biggest blame fool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
In the Jungle of Nool, Nool, Nool
Nool, Nool
I don't think this is the junior version :)

Ah yes, my favorite song in the musical, sung by one of my favorite antagonist in theatre ( before she gets shoved into the sidelines and isn't relevant age until near the of the Whole DarN PRODUCTION!!) RAGE's elsewhere.
Thanks! I think this song will help me get one of the Wickersham Brother parts😀
im currently in this musical and we've made some changes to this song nd a few others, its a really fun to work with and it seems like itd be a great performance no matter who was performing it because its just a really fun piece with lots of energy :)
I got sour kangaroo in the production I'm doing and it's my first big role, I've never gotten any sassy role before so this is a first 😂
I'm auditioning for our school play with this song! I'm so nervous!!
Found out I'm the sour kangaroo a few weeks ago i cant wait to preform in August!!💜
My drama school is doing this and we have just had 3 weeks of audition material and are getting our parts next week🤞I'm very nervous
Its Evie-Grace how'd it go?
This is my fav song from the whole show
I'm Jojo and I wish I could sing this song with everyone else! IT'S SO GOOD!

#wickershambrother
I just got casted as Sour Kangaroo and I’m currently working on this song! I’m looking at all my lines and songs rn and I’m excited to see what’s to come!
Twas the SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR Kangeroo!

didn't get the part
GingerTheFox I have the Wickersham brothers!!! 😨😨😨😨
GingerTheFox I'm a who and a fish dancer
My show was a year ago today. I was a who, fish, hunter, and a circus animal. 😭😭😭
I am as sour as the sour kangaroo
i relate
Yaaaass!!!
Same
After watching suesicall 2 times.
Im sorry but the Sour Kangaroo should be 10 times more sassier than the woman that's singing in this song and also she should be more powerful and riff tons! I played the Sour Kangaroo and I decided to sing it like the Broadway version
Candela Vargas that's cool no one asked
honey, honey. THE BROADWAY PERSON IS A FAT BLACK LADY
LMAO
Candela Vargas yeah I kind of agrre
HAHAHAHA, oh my god you're serious. The broadways Horton is a man who you would think they got off the streets and decided they wanted the nasaliest person ever, but the broadway kangaroo- I mean Kangaree? Seriously, why would you think that?
I got cast as young kangaroo and i was so happy. I could have gotten sour kangaroo but because i was really short they cast me as young kangaroo. It was a really fun experience for me and i wish i could do it again.
I want this part so bad. I am trying. I had 5 hour auditions today. I have tomorrow and the next day of 5 hours.
Update: I got Gertrude!!!!!!!!!
I know this song by heart ❤️
my fav song even if im a who
SAME
im a who and yertle which is wierd but THEY TOOK ME OUT OF THIS SONG BUT ITS MY FAV
I’m a wickersham and the understudy for cat, our musical is in 3 (almost, its night rn) days. When I tell you wickersham is one of the MOST FUN ROLES-
sour kangroo here I'm sour kangarroo
yay it's me
Imma fish.
Nabila Rodriguez hey what's up its me jogan.im using my mom's phone cuz mine died
:(
this brings back sm memories 😭 i was the sourrrr kangrooo and my bestie who is really small was young kangaroo 🫶🫶🫶
But.. Why does Horton keep saying A person's a person no matter how small? (Oh yeah I am going to comment on a lot of these songs so please don't think I'm offending anyone who is Seussical lovers but I'm just curious)
Its the thing he says in the book 'Horton Hears a who' and he certainly says it the films. P.S I'm doing this show.
SymbioteDragon + I'm Horton
I’m so mad rn. I couldn’t make it to auditions for seussical. I’m also very greatly though, because I’ve known the director for a long time so I got a part.
Why is this actually a bop?
We are doing this production in my school for the 5th and 6th graders....my best friend got Sour Kangaroo!! (I'm stage crew though)
@davisbrandont Thanks for your advice! I already memorized my lines and half of the songs I don't even sing in x) I just love how silly and random the Cat gets to be and I can't wait to leave the crowd with stars in their eyes :) Anyway I've got to go pluck some feathers from Gertrude McFuzz! Plus I've gotta go help JoJo see all the thinks he can think!
This is my fave seussical song!!
I just passed up 2 people to get sour kangaroo they were horrible so my teacher was like "Kiya I need you" I was like yess I know you do". Lol I am so excited the pmay is in March!! wish me luck.
Kiya Black oh damn same, I got sour kangaroo and it’s in March as well!
_.Uhh.Maybe._ Oh that is soo cool what day in march?
March 1st, 2nd and 3rd
_.Uhh.Maybe._ Oh cool my birthday is on the 2nd! Sing loud for me sour kangaroo!❤😋
Sure, I hope you do amazing!
I’m auditioning for this show in a week for either Sour Kangaroo or Maizie. I’m pretty sure I have a good chance since I’ll be one of the older people there
