Please pick one of the songs below. We will want to hear you sing about 1 minute of the song. WE do not have the tracks available at this time. You can find the Broadway Soundtrack in iTunes and Spotify. Lyrics are also available. Just google them.
A singing audition is not mandatory, however, it does let us know who is ready for a lead or a featured solo.
Song Suggestions.
You can sing any song for any character, or you can pick a song that is not in this show as long as it shows your vocal range. It is up to you. We just want to hear your voice.
"Oh The Thinks You Can Think"
Cat In the Hat, Mayzie, Sour Kangaroo, Young Kangaroo, Wickersham Brothers, Mr & Mrs Mayor
"Alone In the Universe"
Horton, Gerturde, Jojo
Below you will also find a hand full of short scripts. We I’ll ask you which two characters you would like to be considered for so please learn the scene with the characters you have picked. If your character is not in any of the scripts, please chose any script to learn. If we would like to see you read for a different part, we will ask you at the audition.
WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO SEE IF YOU CAN READ! WE WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE CHARACTER YOU ARE AUDITIONING FOR. WE RECOMMEND, FOR THE BEST IMPRESSION, THAT YOU MEMORIZE THE SCRIPT SO YOU ARE NOT STUCK BEHIND A PIECE OF PAPER! WE WANT TO SEE YOUR PERSONALITY!!
Characters: This list gives you the character description and what we are looking for in the actor.
Jojo
JoJo is the audience’s link to the story. The audience follows the narrative through his eyes, so it’s most important to cast a young man with an earnest and open disposition. He should be a great singer and actor.
The Cats
The Cats (Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3) are mischievous, spirited creatures who take JoJo and the audience on quite an adventure. Cast three actors, male or female, with great singing chops and who can move well. Since the Cats take on different roles throughout the play, these actors should be bold, versatile and able to switch roles at the drop of a dime.
Horton
Horton is a loveable elephant with a heart of gold. Cast a young performer who can sing well and convey great loyalty and conviction to the Whos.
Mr. Mayor
Mr. Mayor is the mayor of Whoville and the perfect picture of patriarchy. He tries to keep the town happy and secure, which is quite a job since the tiny Whos are always in danger of being swept away and lost.
Mrs. Mayor
Mrs. Mayor is the mayor’s wife and is most concerned with trying to make sure her son, JoJo, stays in line.
Gertrude McFuzz
Gertrude McFuzz is a bird with tail envy! Cast a great performer who can sing, act and is a perfect match for Horton
Mayzie LaBird
Mayzie LaBird is a sneaky bird who tricks Horton into helping her take care of her egg. Cast a young woman who can express a fun, jovial and careless spirit.
Sour Kangaroo
Sour Kangaroo is as sour as a kangaroo can be. Cast a young woman who can sing and act well and can serve up a good deal of attitude.
Young Kangaroo
Cast a younger performer in the role of Young Kangaroo, who could be played by a boy or girl. They should function well as a pair.
Wickersham Brothers
The Wickersham Brothers (Wickersham 1, Wickersham 2, Wickersham 3) are a trio of trouble-making monkeys! Cast three boys or girls who can make strong physical choices, complement one another well and bring a strong, diverse energy to their mischief.
Judge Yertle
Judge Yertle the turtle presides over Horton’s court proceedings. This is a fun role for a performer who can make strong acting choices.
Ensemble
The Whos, Jungle Citizens (1-5), Fish, the Wickershams, the Talk Show Host and Marshal are all essential roles for creating the vivid and imaginative world of Seuss. Each creature or person should embody the characters with bold choices and a strong connection to the rest of the players.
Casting Process
Casting is always a challenge. Although everyone can't be a lead, we try to ensure everyone is featured and has their moment. Cast lists will be emailed before the second rehearsal.

Singing Audition
Below you will find our music recommendations for your vocal audition. If you would like to sing a song not uploaded here, please let us know and we will download it for you.
We will not be providing scenes to prepare. If we decide we need to see the actors read from the script, we will provide them on the day of auditions and workshop those scenes as we go.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE WANT YOU TO KNOW: We want you to tell us an honest story with your song. Remember all the skills we have taught you and connect to the material. If you are new to Jazz Hands, listen to the words and the music and show us, without pushing, an honest interpretation of the character and the story they are telling.
