CBMS/HUMS Musical 2023: Seussical, Jr.
This year's the year, y'all! Seussical is one of the most fun musicals I've ever been part of, and this is the first year we've had the singers and actors to pull it off. It is wildly different from the musicals we've done in the last few years, and the auditions and rehearsals will change a bit as well! Check back to this page-- this is where I will share audition materials, dates, times, contracts, and more. While you're waiting for more info, you can...
Read the script! The first thing you'll notice is that this show almost completely sung through- all dialogue happens during songs. The great news about that is that, even better than just reading, you can get a whole lot more from...
Listening through the soundtrack
Or, even better, do both at once :-) This will give you an excellent idea of the (rather complicated) story and how the different Seuss tales are woven together
Bonus, added 8/7/23, the actual tracks for the show. One folder has guide vocals, also known as the nice people singing all the parts. The other folder has performance tracks, which have no voices. Like karaoke :-) Depending on how you access these tracks, it might be easier for you to download them to your device and add them to a playlist in your favorite music app so you don't have to stream from Google Drive every time. That can get annoying.
There are many school performances available on YouTube that are worth checking out
Other definites you can count on:
Performances 12/8 and 12/9
Rehearsals after school on Tues & Wed (3:30-4:30). I'm working with coaches AND GMPA to make it work for everyone! As long as your coach/director/teacher can be flexible on some weeks, I'm happy to be flexible on others. Don't miss out on the musical because you're worried about conflicts: we all want you to be part of everything.
Adults, you can count on me having your kids in rehearsal every Tues/Wed after school from the 2nd week of school through the performance in December.
Auditions will be held after school during the first full week of school- Tues 8/29-Thurs 8/31 (or Fri 9/1 if we need more slots)- kids will sign up for one time slot within the window- they should not come for the full time each day, only for the slot they sign up for.
