When my theatre did this, they made it so it was like a highschool in the opening. The Sour Kangaroo was like a PTA mom, JoJo, Horton and Gertrude were ‘nerds’, the Wickershams were jocks, Mayzie and the Bird Girls were the ‘popular’ group, the who’s and jungle citizens were normal students, the Cat was a substitute teacher, and Yertle the Turtle was a principal.
Omg no way I used to go to this place with my grandmother I can't anymore because she passed away three weeks ago but I got excited because I got in the play a week before she passed.
I was Mr. Mayor, my last performance was yesterday. I loved being able to sing and dance. It was my very first musical, and it was so much fun (: definitely going to try musical theatre in college if i get the opportunity!
don’t listen to jenny you don’t have many lines but you are in many fun ensemble dances and my group has such cool costumes and the other bird girls for me are rlly nice
Bird girl, in my opinion is a really great part. I auditioned for Gertrude but I am completely satisfied. The costumes are so fun, and I am in almost every song in the show! Trust me, it’s a great part to have. Ignore @Jenny, it’s super fun. And thank you, Vivien, that’s nice of you to say (we are bird girls together in the same show)!
My school is putting on this play and listening to this makes me excited to help with the set (because I do stage crew and I get to see the inner workings of the play)
Who who wah dah Who who who wah dah dah dah Who who wah dah Who who who wah dah Who who wah dah Who who who wah dah dah dah Who who wah dah Who who who wah dah Who who wah dah Who who who wah dah dah dah Who who wah dah Who who Now think of an elephant lumbering through. Who who wah dah Who who who wah dah dah dah Horton! Yes, Horton! Horton Hears a Who! On the fifteenth of May In the jungle of Nool In the heat of the day, In the cool of the pool, He was splashing Splash! Enjoying the jungle's great joys When Horton the elephant Horton the Elephant Horton the elephant Heard a small noise. So Horton stopped splashing He looked toward the sound That's funny. Thought Horton- There's no one around. Then he heard it again Just a very faint yelp As if some tiny person were calling for help Help! Help! I'll help you Said Horton But who are you, and where? He looked and he looked. He could see nothing there But a small speck of dust Blowing past... Through the air. I say! How confusing! I've never heard tell Of a small speck of dust that is able to yell, So you know what I think? Why I think that there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust. Some poor little person Who's shaking with fear That he'll blow in the pool! He has no way to steer! He's alone in the universe! I'll just have to save him Because after all, A person's a person, no matter how small. A person's a person no matter how- Small... Who who wah dah Who who who wah dah dah dah Who who wah dah Who who So, gently, and using The greatest of care, The elephant stretched His great trunk through the air, And he lifted the dust speck And carried it over And placed it down, Safe! On a very soft clover.
I'm the Sour Kangaroo! Woop Woop! I can hit allll the notes with no problem at all and out of the whole cast I probably have the most attitude. Was born for this role.
Josh Davis Same here! But our director took away the bidding, dr dake, the circus man, and the court marshal from me and gave them to other parts, so now my part sucks. All the other parts are fully intact which is really annoying because if I knew that I would've tried out for Horton, Jojo, or Gertrude
The place where I do theatre has 1 week to put this show together but we always make it so good idk maybe I'm bias...anyways this is my fav show so far
LAFofficial I got my role as Horton from energy and dancing to the songs during auditions. Also I spent a lot of time doing the songs for auditions. Just a few tips
This song sounds more like either 1. Horton on an acid trip 2. Horton discovers he has schizophrenia or 3. Dementia if it was turned into a song, the echoing bird girls are what made me think this.

i’m wickersham brother 3 and they added an extra part(circus contortionist) that comes in during mayzie at the circus AND i’m a backup who, pretty excited!
I was apart of this musical when I was a junior in high school, I was casted as Cindy Lou Who. One of my favorite parts was being able to stand next to the Grinch lol
I’m second grade I got the part of Jojo, I’m in 11th now and I just came back to hear this I can’t stop smiling omg the nostalgia 😁 (It was seussical jr.)
I was Horton. A mother came up to me after the show, and asked if i could put the costume back on, so that her daughters could meet Horton the Elephant! That is the best feeling.
I remember when I did suessical hortons mic wasn't working during this song... so for the rest of the show I couldnt tell whether the mic just fixed it if horton was screaming
The closing night was yesterday :'( it's so hard to say goodbye! I was Vlad Vladikoff, and I was considered a lead, and it's so hard to say goodbye because you're with everyone so much it's so sad :'(
I was so excited to play in this musical (I'm a who)at my school because this was going to be my first time in a play or a musical but it got cancelled because of the Corona Virus it got cancelled and now i'm sad :'(
Aiden Weiler when I read this I was like uh aiden was blade not Horton then I saw the last name (also I meant v l a d thanks to auto correct it said blade)
Now, why the HECK does in this song the mayor's voice sounds high like a little kid but in the other songs his voice is low and deep like an adult?? (Oh yeah I am going to comment on a lot of these songs so please don't think I'm offending anyone who is Seussical lovers but I'm just curious)
