Breakdown

SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL

Cat in the Hat: Male or Female, 20-40s. Extremely impish & mischievous with a sense of irony, mockery, and anarchy, but also the capacity for warmth and compassion. The Cat is a force of good, of humor, of wit, adventure and magic. Must be great with creating a variety of characters and accents. Extremely good physical comic and strong mover. Range: F2 - F4 or

G3 - C5

Horton the Elephant: 20s-40s. A compassionate and gentle elephant. Simple, sincere, somewhat out of place in a hip, cynical world. Earnest and true to himself. Range: A2 - F4

Gertrude McFuzz: 20s-40s. Horton's sweet but timid neighbor, she is insecure about her one feathered tail. She’s totally in love with Horton but is too shy and awkward to tell him. Range: F3 - F5

Mayzie Labird: 20s-40s. Mazie is the diva bird of the jungle with a fabulous multi-feathered tail. Oblivious to her self-centered ways, she relies on her talent of manipulation, and intoxicating beauty, to navigate her way through life. She abandons her egg to Horton’s care and ultimate realizes she won’t make as good of a mother as he does. Range: G3 - Eb5

The Sour Kangaroo: 20s-40s. Loud, brassy, and stubbornly set in her ways she is very vocal about her concern for her child and the jungle at large should Horton continue to protect the Whos. Unabashedly sassy and soulful.

Danny Zuko: The leader of the Burger Palace Boys; good-looking, strong and confident, with an air of easy-going charm. Pop/Rock Bari Tenor with falsetto mix.

Sandy Dumbrowsky: The new girl in town; sweet, wholesome, naive. She and Danny had a summer romance at the shore which she fondly remembers. But she finds Danny is a different person once they meet up at Rydell High. Pop/Rock singer with great belt.

Betty Rizzo: Leader of the Pink Ladies; Sexy, tough, and sarcastic but has a vulnerable side she keeps to herself. Rizzo is much more than she seems. Great singer with Mezzo Belt.

Frenchy: Good-natured but not too bright, she can't wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician. A dreamer who sees the best in people. Funny. Must sing well.

- both smug and pompous, but gullible. Must sing well.

Miss Lynch: 40s-50s. No-nonsense English teacher. Very dry with excellent comic timing. Patty Simcox: A typical 1950s cheerleader; attractive, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be given to bursts of annoying enthusiasm. She's a bit of a pain and unpopular with the Pink Ladies, and can twirl a baton. Must sing well.

Teen Angel: 30s-40s. Loaded with star wattage; right out of a teen’s dream. Dashing,

charming, handsome. Full of smart, if kind of harsh advice. Only appears to sing ‘Beauty School

Dropout’.
