For everyone auditioning for something for the first time, here are some tips if u are nervous: Be confident and make sure you practice your audition song and monologue (if needed, sometimes you just need a song) until you are 100% confident. When choosing a song find one that matches your vocal range and shows off what you can do. Make sure to practice in front of other people, even if it seems embarrassing.
I like how everyone is saying their in a production or they like the song, and I'm in a production singing with the school choir because I didn't pass the cast audition 🥲
I play Mrs. Mayor and Mr. Mayor has a giant crush on me. Everyone knows and now my whole class is so excited to see it. I’m in a program at school which makes it so I’m with the same people for 6-10 years. That means we have inside jokes and we make fun of everything.. great..
I played Ms Mayor when I was 17 (2 months ago RIP), and it was the most fun I ever had!!! Before we started, I was really conscious of my skills and always refused to show it off, but I guess this production changed me for the better 😅
super glad to be able to listen to this. got cast as the mayor, it's useful to be able to listen to the songs and learn them this way. thanks for uploading this!
Oh this brings back such fond memories. I did this last year with a bunch of younger kids, and during the part where it slows down, I was the only person who sang it correctly on tempo (the director applauded me for it), and everyone else was off, and had to slow down. XD
That was me with all the fourth graders at practice today. I was the only person singing in my cast. Also cuz they’re all so tiny. You could on here me (mrs mayor), mrs mayor in the other cast, and one of the mr mayors 😂
Guys here are the lyrics to this song Well, We're who's here. We are Whos here. Smaller than the eye can see. It's true, sir. We're who's who, sir. I'm a Who and so is she. MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR We're tiny little people Blowing by in the air, Wondering how and why We're on Who, The ti-iniest Planet in the sky! (The entire WHO population is revealed. HORTON listens intently and reacts throughout the entire song as the WHOS tell him their story) WHOS A-ladela-deladela who who A-ladela-deladela who TWO WHO SOPRANOS Who! WHOS A-ladela-deladela who who A-ladela-dela... We're Whos here, Win or lose here, Struggling to stay alive. Each gust pro- Pels our dust. Oh, How the heck Do Whos survive? At any given moment We could crash or be drowned, Hitting the ground, oh my! Here on who, The ti-iniest Planet in the sky (Calliope-like) WHO MEN WHO WOMEN Who! Who! Who! Who! MAYOR I'm the mayor. WHO MEN WHO WOMEN Who! Who! Who! Who! MRS. MAYOR I'm his wife. WHO MEN WHO WOMEN Who! Who! Who! Who! MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR Just imagine the Whos' unusual life! WHO FAMILY #1 Picture the tiniest houses and grocery stores. WHO WOMEN Who... WHO FAMILY #2 Tiny umbrellas that drip on the tiniest floors. WHO MEN Who... WHO FAMILY #3 The tiniest tunnels and tiniest streets. WHO FAMILY #4 Miniature buses with miniature seats. WHO FAMILY #5 Miniature buildings with miniature windows and doors! HORTON No smaller town than yours (The WHO MARCHING BAND enters.) WHOS We've got a marching band That is small but grand Oh, you ought to hear them wail! (The BAND plays on strange instruments) WHOS Who! Who! Who! Every Christmastime, without fail, Mr. Grinch presents his Christmas tale! (The GRINCH appears and the WHOS gather around him) GRINCH I re-enact my Christmas tale! (He begins to declaim) Every who down in Whoville Liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville Did not! (The WHOS applaud with delight) MAYOR Imagine a place that is tidy And totally clean, WHOS Who... GRINCH Where even a Grinch wouldn't dare to be totally mean! WHOS Who... MAYOR You think that it's heaven on earth Yes, you do! But heaven on earth isn't heaven on Who! WHOS Troubles on Who Are the biggest that you've ever seen. MAYOR We're on the brink of war, they say ALL WHOS We're going to war, and oh my! MAYOR 'Cause if we do, then here on Who WHOS Well, you can kiss Whoville goodbye! MAYOR Our skies are unbearably dark MRS. MAYOR And war is unbearably near... MAYOR And that's not the end of our troubles Here... ALL WHOS For on the other side of town The Truffula trees were all cut down. They once stood tall, in all their glory- But that's another story... So here on who We live in fear. We're drifting through space And cannot steer! A troubled and a tiny land ... Our future's in your hand ... (They move closer, appealing to the listening HORTON.) It's up to You, sir. Please help Who, sir. You're the only one who hears. You must, sir! MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR Save our dust, sir! Save our dust, sir! Now that we have reached Your ears! We're tiny little people Saying thanks in advance Hoping perchance, you'll try! Here on Who, The ti-iniest Planet in the sky... (HORTON listens to the clover with great seriousness.) HORTON I won't let you down. No, I won't let you fall. A person's a person No matter how small. A person's a person No matter how small. WHOS Whoooo!
I like how everyone talking about getting just a who or one of mayor's I wanted cat in the hat when I auditioned (this was like 2 years ago) and I got the grinch instead, it was hilarious.
I’m currently playing one of the who’s but I’m still annoyed that I can’t participate in the choreography for biggest blame fool because it makes the song such a bop 😅

WHOS (mysterious) Who Who... (Light comes up on the CAT.) CAT An invisible world. Amazing but true. We'll leave Horton to listen, and we'll zoom in on Who. But guess who enters the story now? BOY Who? CAT You! MR. MAYOR Meet a tiny Who family on a small rainy day. MRS. MAYOR Mom and Dad are just home from the Who PTA. CAT And here's their son JoJo! (To THE BOY'S surprise, THE CAT pushes him into the scene, and he becomes a character in the story. From now on, we will call him JOJO. He is now with his parents, MR. MAYOR and MRS. MAYOR.) MRS. MAYOR In trouble again! MR. and MRS. MAYOR, CAT 'Cause his Thinks take him places where no one has been.
I was only cast as a obnoxious school child, who citizen and such but this is such an amazing and fun production to be apart of! Don't be discouraged if you have a smaller role, it's just as fun as any other role!
I'm guessing your referring to all the rest of the dialogue that appears in the musical, because I assure you these songs are a part of it. But yeah, I can see your point: There is much more to this musical than these recordings would have you believe.
+MCBlenderGeek In all honesty, I'm not as big a fan of the Broadway version of the musical myself, primarily because of the various subplots that the Jr version removed e.g. The Military subplot. Honestly, what the actual hell is a military subplot doing in a musical based on books that are primarily targeted towards children? Feels out of place to me. That being said, it was the Jr version that I performed, so maybe I'm just biased in that way. I just think that the Jr version captured the magic of Seuss better IMO.
Jackeroose98 we're definitely going to be biased toward the version we performed, but I think that (at least in the licensed version of the show) the military subplot is kind of necessary. It paints the military as an oppressor of imagination and gives the show another conflict. I feel like Solla Sollew has much more emotional weight when it's also about Mr and Mrs Mayor wishing their son was home with them
I loved this song so much i would always sing it and to the dance movements even though i wasn't a who ville person i was a jungle penguin... But i still had a blast!!
I teach theatre and over the summer we have week long camps. The student I cast as Mr. Mayor had to back out the day before the show so I stepped in to play the role. I really gotta thank him for that. I love this song more than chocolate buscuits!
I'm Mrs Mayor! We haven't started rehearsing yet but we will in a few weeks and I'm so excited!!! 😁I actually auditioned for Mazie, Cat and Gertrude. I got Mrs Mayor cause I'm literally an over friendly weirdo who's not afraid to show it and it suited the character. 🤪🤣 lmao I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL WE START!!!!! 😆
Mrs. Mayor: We're going to speak with your teachers today And I hope they have nothing too awful to say. If you're hungry there's schlopp in the frig-a-merator Mr. Mayor: We're late. Mrs. Mayor: Here's a kiss Mr, Mayor: And we'll both see you later.
I’m a who in my theater group. I have a friend who’s a nool creature, and we joke about me not holding her trying to boil me alive against her. She’s great.
Anyone else have a gay mr. mayor? Ours is much more fabulous than mrs mayor! He's so dramatic and I love it! Im a bird girl, so to keep people in character, backstage I would go up to them and act as my sassy bird girl character Id come up with. I went up to the mayors and leaned to mrs mayor. I whispered "I dont want to alarm you, sweetie, but I think your husband might be gay. No no, honey, I swear! I've seen it before. He's only staying for your son. Why do you think he's so eager to send him off to military school? I'm telling you, as soon as Jo Jo's out of the house, he's gone. No don't cry, sweetie, we're all here for you." She couldn't stop laughing and mr mayor even joined in saying things like "dont listen, shes lying! She doesnt know what shes talking about, shes a bird!" Later she told me she had been having a bad day and that she was grateful that Id made her laugh like that. It made her want to go on with her acting, as it hadnt been the best that day
Last year I was the cat in the hat and I absolutely loved Seussical, I also happened to learn everyone's lines so I got an award! Now everybody who was a part of it look back and hate it. Things aren't going super great because Seussical was my only source of friends...
Just keep going one day at a time and remember there are other people going through similar things. I'm one of few people who likes to always sing out, even when I'm just wandering around. My classmates give me sideways looks like "Seriously?"
