Pied Piper Productions is pleased to announce that preparations are underway for the 2022 Senior Production – Seussical Jr. the Musical. Performing in the April school holidays 2022.

Seussical magically brings to life everyone’s favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

Seussical provides performers of ages 10 years and older with an exciting opportunity to portray the colourful characters from the familiar Dr. Seuss fables including:

The Cat In The Hat – Our story’s omniscient narrator, he is fun loving and enjoys rhyming. Pops up throughout the story to help the audience. Wise and attentive. (Gender: Any, Age 12 +, Vocal range top: F4, Vocal range bottom: F2)

Jojo – The Mayor’s son, he is a Who that is always finding trouble. Bright, creative, and inadvertently mischievous. Possesses a wildly expansive imagination and finds solace in his friendship with Horton. (Gender: Male, Age: 10 – 14, Vocal range top: C5, Vocal range bottom: Ab3)

Horton The Elephant – Our story’s main character, he is a compassionate and gentle elephant. Commonly misunderstood because of his larger size. He is protective and loving of all creatures in the jungle. (Gender: Male, Age: 16 – 40, Vocal range top: F4, Vocal range bottom: A2)

Gertrude Mcfuzz – Horton’s one-feathered-tail bird neighbor. Gertrude is sweet and timid. Though kind and loyal, she is also self-conscious of her shortfalls. (Gender: Female, Age: 16 to 30, Vocal range top: F5, Vocal range bottom: F3)

Mayzie Labird – The most beautiful bird in all of the jungle. Oblivious to her self-centered ways, she relies on her talent of manipulation, and intoxicating beauty, to navigate her way through life. (Gender: Female, Age:  16 to 40, Vocal range top: Eb5, Vocal range bottom: G3)

The Sour Kangaroo – The ‘leader’ of the jungle. She is loud, brassy, and stubbornly set in her ways. A caring mother, but unabashedly sassy and soulful. (Gender: Female, Age: 14 – 40, Vocal range top: F5, Vocal range bottom: F#3)

Ensemble roles – In addition there are many unique ensemble roles including Jungle Creatures (The Wickersham Brothers, Yurtle The Turtle, Bird Girls) and The Whos (Mr. Mayor, Mrs. Mayor, General Genghis Khan Schmitz) and many more.

Suitable for performers of all levels of experience.
