Summer 2012 will find St. John Theatre hearing “Who’s,” and filled with characters from “Seussical,” directed by Darryl P. Clement. Based on the works of Dr. Seuss, Seussical weaves together his most famous tales and characters from at least 15 of his books. The show follows the adventures of Horton, an elephant who one day hears voices coming from a speck of dust. He soon discovers that within this tiny speck exists the smallest planet in the universe. On this tiny planet live a tiny race of creatures known as Whos. Although ridiculed by the other animals in the Jungle of Nool for believing in something he cannot see, Horton stubbornly persists in his belief that the Who’s exist. Traveling everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool, some of the characters fall in love, some have desperate adventures, and some even save the world. The show is filled with fun, color, music and enchantment. A large cast is needed, age 9 to 90. All those auditioning must sing at least 16 bars and be prepared to dance. A cold reading will be required.
