The Experience

Seussical: The Broadway Musical is a part of our Mainstage KOS experience and is an audition-only production.  We are committed to producing a high quality-large cast Mainstage production featuring cast members of all ages at least once a season. Those wishing to audition must pre-register before the deadline to receive audition information and a non-refundable audition fee of $10 will be due at the time of auditions.​ Following auditions, the cast list will be sent out to all those that auditioned. After being cast, the remainder of the production fee ($140), will be due at the first rehearsal. The KOS Academy no-cut policy does not apply to this production. 

Mainstage productions are a part of our Next Level Division and are designed for those wishing to participate in a highly professional and unique rehearsal and performance process. From the moment the show is cast, these artists embark on a transformative journey that demands dedication, discipline, and a deep passion for their craft. Surrounded by like-minded individuals who share their unwavering commitment to the art of musical theater, participants in this audition-only experience find themselves in an environment where creativity flourishes, excellence is required, and friendships are made.

At the end of our rehearsal time together, cast members will present a fully produced production with costumes, sets, props, lights, and special effects!

About Seussical: The Musical

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

Those wishing to audition will be asked to prepare a song and scene based on the character they wish to play in the production. In addition, a dance combination will be taught and then performed as a part of the audition.
