Suessical
Audition Material
Below, you will find the song selections we will be using for auditions. There are many characters in Seussical Jr. – we have selected 3 character's songs for the auditions. Each performer should prepare ONE song selection and you will be considered for all the characters in the show, regardless of which songs you choose. The lyrics are provided directly below the audio clips. It is preferred that lyrics be memorized so we can see the performer act as well as sing, but you may audition with the lyrics, if absolutely necessary. YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR ALL ROLES (male or female) regardless of your song selection, so pick a song you like and sing well. It doesn’t matter if the guide vocalist is male or female, you may choose any of the selections to sing.
Audition Songs
All Alone in the UniverseLYRICS:
I’m alone in the universe. So alone in the universe. I’ve found magic but they won’t see it. They all call me a lunatic. Okay, call me a lunatic. If I stand on my own, so be it. “Cause I have wings, yes I can fly. Around the moon and far beyond the sky. And one day soon, I know there you’ll be… One small voice in the universe, one true friend in the universe, who believes in me. |
Oh, the things you can thinkLYRICS:
(Spoken) “I can see that you’ve got quite a mind for your age! Why, one Think and you dragged me right onto the stage! Now, I’m here, there is no telling what may ensue… with a Cat such as me and a Thinker like you!” (Sung) Oh, the thinks you can think! Oh, the thinks you can think if you’re willing to try. Think invisible ink! Or a Gink with a Stink! Or a stair to the sky… If you open your mind, oh, the thinks you will find lining up to get loose… Oh, the thinks you can think when you think about Seuss! |
It's PossibleThis might be a pool like I’ve read of in books,
connected to one of those underground brooks! An underground river that starts here and flows right under this bathtub! And then- who knows! It’s possible! Anything’s possible! It might go along down where no one can see, right under State Highway Two Hundred and Three! Right under the wagons! Right under the toes of Missus Umbroso…who’s hanging out clothes! It’s possible! Anything’s possible. It’s possible! Anything’s possible. This might be a river, now mightn’t it be, connecting McElligot’s pool with the sea! Then maybe some fish might be swimming…swimming toward me! |
