For everyone auditioning for something for the first time, here are some tips if u are nervous: Be confident and make sure you practice your audition song and monologue (if needed, sometimes you just need a song) until you are 100% confident. When choosing a song find one that matches your vocal range and shows off what you can do. Make sure to practice in front of other people, even if it seems embarrassing.
I like how everyone is saying their in a production or they like the song, and I'm in a production singing with the school choir because I didn't pass the cast audition 🥲
I played Ms Mayor when I was 17 (2 months ago RIP), and it was the most fun I ever had!!! Before we started, I was really conscious of my skills and always refused to show it off, but I guess this production changed me for the better 😅
I play Mrs. Mayor and Mr. Mayor has a giant crush on me. Everyone knows and now my whole class is so excited to see it. I’m in a program at school which makes it so I’m with the same people for 6-10 years. That means we have inside jokes and we make fun of everything.. great..
super glad to be able to listen to this. got cast as the mayor, it's useful to be able to listen to the songs and learn them this way. thanks for uploading this!
Oh this brings back such fond memories. I did this last year with a bunch of younger kids, and during the part where it slows down, I was the only person who sang it correctly on tempo (the director applauded me for it), and everyone else was off, and had to slow down. XD
That was me with all the fourth graders at practice today. I was the only person singing in my cast. Also cuz they’re all so tiny. You could on here me (mrs mayor), mrs mayor in the other cast, and one of the mr mayors 😂
I’m currently playing one of the who’s but I’m still annoyed that I can’t participate in the choreography for biggest blame fool because it makes the song such a bop 😅
I like how everyone talking about getting just a who or one of mayor's I wanted cat in the hat when I auditioned (this was like 2 years ago) and I got the grinch instead, it was hilarious.
I was only cast as a obnoxious school child, who citizen and such but this is such an amazing and fun production to be apart of! Don't be discouraged if you have a smaller role, it's just as fun as any other role!

I loved this song so much i would always sing it and to the dance movements even though i wasn't a who ville person i was a jungle penguin... But i still had a blast!!
Mrs. Mayor: We're going to speak with your teachers today And I hope they have nothing too awful to say. If you're hungry there's schlopp in the frig-a-merator Mr. Mayor: We're late. Mrs. Mayor: Here's a kiss Mr, Mayor: And we'll both see you later.
Last year I was the cat in the hat and I absolutely loved Seussical, I also happened to learn everyone's lines so I got an award! Now everybody who was a part of it look back and hate it. Things aren't going super great because Seussical was my only source of friends...
Just keep going one day at a time and remember there are other people going through similar things. I'm one of few people who likes to always sing out, even when I'm just wandering around. My classmates give me sideways looks like "Seriously?"
I'm Mrs Mayor! We haven't started rehearsing yet but we will in a few weeks and I'm so excited!!! 😁I actually auditioned for Mazie, Cat and Gertrude. I got Mrs Mayor cause I'm literally an over friendly weirdo who's not afraid to show it and it suited the character. 🤪🤣 lmao I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL WE START!!!!! 😆
The cast list just came and I got Mrs. Mayor! I was actually a little disappointed but seeing you guys telling y’all’s experiences makes me a little better!
I love this song! We're doing Seussical at my school, and I'm the Young Kangaroo. It's not the biggest role, but it's definitely one of the most fun roles. :-)
I'm guessing your referring to all the rest of the dialogue that appears in the musical, because I assure you these songs are a part of it. But yeah, I can see your point: There is much more to this musical than these recordings would have you believe.
+MCBlenderGeek In all honesty, I'm not as big a fan of the Broadway version of the musical myself, primarily because of the various subplots that the Jr version removed e.g. The Military subplot. Honestly, what the actual hell is a military subplot doing in a musical based on books that are primarily targeted towards children? Feels out of place to me. That being said, it was the Jr version that I performed, so maybe I'm just biased in that way. I just think that the Jr version captured the magic of Seuss better IMO.
Jackeroose98 we're definitely going to be biased toward the version we performed, but I think that (at least in the licensed version of the show) the military subplot is kind of necessary. It paints the military as an oppressor of imagination and gives the show another conflict. I feel like Solla Sollew has much more emotional weight when it's also about Mr and Mrs Mayor wishing their son was home with them
Anyone else have a gay mr. mayor? Ours is much more fabulous than mrs mayor! He's so dramatic and I love it! Im a bird girl, so to keep people in character, backstage I would go up to them and act as my sassy bird girl character Id come up with. I went up to the mayors and leaned to mrs mayor. I whispered "I dont want to alarm you, sweetie, but I think your husband might be gay. No no, honey, I swear! I've seen it before. He's only staying for your son. Why do you think he's so eager to send him off to military school? I'm telling you, as soon as Jo Jo's out of the house, he's gone. No don't cry, sweetie, we're all here for you." She couldn't stop laughing and mr mayor even joined in saying things like "dont listen, shes lying! She doesnt know what shes talking about, shes a bird!" Later she told me she had been having a bad day and that she was grateful that Id made her laugh like that. It made her want to go on with her acting, as it hadnt been the best that day
Im hoping i will. Im a jungle animal but MY MUSIC TEACHER INSISTS ON” practice every day of April.” LIKE, WHY BRO I ALREADY KNOW THIS RAAAAAHHHRRRR WHY.
When mrs mayor says "I'm his wife" she sounds like she hates it
Jillian Kilburn true
Jillian Kilburn IKR
Jillian Kilburn true
Jillian Kilburn so much regret lol
I'm playing Mrs mayor so I'm going to try and sound enthusiastic.😂
I'm playing Mrs. Mayor! Which is great because all of my favorite songs from this show all have her in them. Yay!
tabykatify I know right! :D
SAME
tabykatify I'm too good luck
Same! The only thing is that I don’t feel 100 percent comfortable saying “I’m his wife” idk why
I loved being in this!
This song is just too catchy. Even if you're a sour kangaroo.
ilovetosinga SO TRUE

I got Gertrude in my production and it's so much fun. I get to wear Heelys on the stage to look like I'm flying.
Wow that's a really cool idea. I should tell my director.
I suggested that all the birds do that but one of the bird girls has a concussion, and she didn't like that idea.
Aww that sucks well at least you got to :P I actually doubt the people in my production would be into it either. I'd be all over it though lol

You're the only one who hears.
You must, sir! MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
Save our dust, sir! Save our dust, sir!
Now that we have reached
Your ears!
We're tiny little people
Saying thanks in advance
Hoping perchance, you'll try!
Here on Who,
The ti-iniest
Planet in the sky...
(HORTON listens to the clover with great seriousness.)
HORTON
I won't let you down.
No, I won't let you fall.
A person's a person
No matter how small.
A person's a person
No matter how small.
WHOS
Whoooo!
(The WHOS begin to recede.)
WHOS (mysterious)
Who Who...
(Light comes up on the CAT.)
CAT
An invisible world. Amazing but true.
We'll leave Horton to listen, and we'll zoom in on Who.
But guess who enters the story now?
BOY
Who?
CAT
You!
MR. MAYOR
Meet a tiny Who family on a small rainy day.
MRS. MAYOR
Mom and Dad are just home from the Who PTA.
CAT
And here's their son JoJo!
(To THE BOY'S surprise, THE CAT pushes him into the scene,
and he becomes a character in the story.
From now on, we will call him JOJO.
He is now with his parents, MR. MAYOR and MRS. MAYOR.)
MRS. MAYOR
In trouble again!
MR. and MRS. MAYOR, CAT
'Cause his Thinks take him places where no one has been.
not jr.
Thank you for the lyrics! But this is the original lyrics and not the junior version like the song
😬
MR MAYORS ASSEMBLEEE!!!!!!
I loved this song so much i would always sing it and to the dance movements even though i wasn't a who ville person i was a jungle penguin... But i still had a blast!!
This helped me a lot learning my part in the show, I 'm a WHO
Go whos!
Mrs. Mayor:
We're going to speak with your teachers today
And I hope they have nothing too awful to say.
If you're hungry there's schlopp in the frig-a-merator
Mr. Mayor:
We're late.
Mrs. Mayor:
Here's a kiss
Mr, Mayor:
And we'll both see you later.
Last year I was the cat in the hat and I absolutely loved Seussical, I also happened to learn everyone's lines so I got an award! Now everybody who was a part of it look back and hate it. Things aren't going super great because Seussical was my only source of friends...
Just keep going one day at a time and remember there are other people going through similar things. I'm one of few people who likes to always sing out, even when I'm just wandering around. My classmates give me sideways looks like "Seriously?"
I'm Mrs Mayor! We haven't started rehearsing yet but we will in a few weeks and I'm so excited!!! 😁I actually auditioned for Mazie, Cat and Gertrude. I got Mrs Mayor cause I'm literally an over friendly weirdo who's not afraid to show it and it suited the character. 🤪🤣 lmao I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL WE START!!!!! 😆

I was a wickersham brother in my camp play
Same here :)
I am too, I changed my avatar for it I'm really excited! My play isn't until October.
I was just a backup dancer, but she also put me as a wicker sham
I’m playing Mr. Mayor this fall! This song is fun!
In like 3rd grade we did this thing where we wore orange things and sang this, so nostalgic I could cry
I love this song! We're doing Seussical at my school, and I'm the Young Kangaroo. It's not the biggest role, but it's definitely one of the most fun roles. :-)
LOL Me too!
I'm a Who another chorus! :P Ive been chorus 3 times for all the musicals I've been in but I'm lucky I'm in the musical
We just finished this show and I miss it so much XxX
I just got the cast list for my performance in this, I got Mr. Mayor, so excited!

This is my favorite song of the musical!
I have to play mr mayor in my play, I’m so excited

We're doing this and I'm a wickersham brother
Rowri RuRu Me too (Totally not Seussical reference)
I'm a Who. Another chorus Ive been three choruses in 3 musicals :P
Ditto - it rules
Same!!
I am the Cat.
I love this song, my friends did this in school today and I got to see it
I was a green mother Who in the Seussical Jr. just a little while ago ( the 5th, 6th, & 7th of August xD ) at the Kirby Theatre near me xD
This version is so different from the full show, it's weird to listen to if you've done the full version
I'm guessing your referring to all the rest of the dialogue that appears in the musical, because I assure you these songs are a part of it. But yeah, I can see your point: There is much more to this musical than these recordings would have you believe.
+Jackeroose98 that too, but this recording is the Jr version of the song. There are two verses cut and the entire song is in a lower key
+MCBlenderGeek In all honesty, I'm not as big a fan of the Broadway version of the musical myself, primarily because of the various subplots that the Jr version removed e.g. The Military subplot. Honestly, what the actual hell is a military subplot doing in a musical based on books that are primarily targeted towards children? Feels out of place to me. That being said, it was the Jr version that I performed, so maybe I'm just biased in that way. I just think that the Jr version captured the magic of Seuss better IMO.
Jackeroose98 we're definitely going to be biased toward the version we performed, but I think that (at least in the licensed version of the show) the military subplot is kind of necessary. It paints the military as an oppressor of imagination and gives the show another conflict. I feel like Solla Sollew has much more emotional weight when it's also about Mr and Mrs Mayor wishing their son was home with them
I'm who number 3
I was a who about 5 years ago, it's the reason I still do musicals to this day.
I WAS A BIRD GIRL!
I am too! Wish me luck fellow sassy birb
Anyone else have a gay mr. mayor? Ours is much more fabulous than mrs mayor! He's so dramatic and I love it! Im a bird girl, so to keep people in character, backstage I would go up to them and act as my sassy bird girl character Id come up with. I went up to the mayors and leaned to mrs mayor. I whispered "I dont want to alarm you, sweetie, but I think your husband might be gay. No no, honey, I swear! I've seen it before. He's only staying for your son. Why do you think he's so eager to send him off to military school? I'm telling you, as soon as Jo Jo's out of the house, he's gone. No don't cry, sweetie, we're all here for you."
She couldn't stop laughing and mr mayor even joined in saying things like "dont listen, shes lying! She doesnt know what shes talking about, shes a bird!"
Later she told me she had been having a bad day and that she was grateful that Id made her laugh like that. It made her want to go on with her acting, as it hadnt been the best that day
TMNTMangle132 Hahaha my friend and I are mr and Mrs mayor but we're both gay so it's hilarious hahaha
This is such a cute story! Speaking of gay things however, I'm Horton and a girl, so I might of just turned my production of Seussical very gay lol
