Auditions for SEUSSICAL
It is recommended that auditionees be at least 8 years of age by the opening performance of Seussical on 21st October 2022. Participation of younger children would need to be discussed with the director and committee.
You must book a time for your audition. Call Cathy on 0420 352 771 or email cathy.boyle1@gmail.com to book a spot. Feel free to leave a message if you don’t contact her immediately – she’ll ring you back as soon as she can!
The audition form is at the back of the Information Pack.

AUDITION FAQS
What should I sing?
All performers wishing to audition for a singing role or a place in the choir or adult ensemble will need to prepare a short excerpt (about 32 bars) from a song.
Singers will need to provide their own backing tracks and speakers.
N.B. Music from the show will be provided for callbacks (should they be required) and performers may wish to use these pieces in their audition. Please ask Cathy if you need any music for your audition.
What should I wear?
Since all performers except choir members need to attend the dance call, you should wear something comfortable for this. No special shoes are required but some chorus shoes or jazz shoes would be a better choice than heavy sneakers or boots.
What should children sing?
Children who are auditioning for the role of Jojo need to book a solo singing spot. All other children will be asked to sing as a group just before or after the dance call. We will ask children to sing Happy Birthday or Advance Australia Fair.
What age do children have to be to take part in Seussical?
We would suggest that children wanting to take part in the show should be at least eight years old. Younger children can be considered, but the late nights of rehearsals might be problematic for them.
