Auditions began with a group audition. The students learnt a short section of the music and choreography for the finale song and performed it for the panel with such enthusiasm and excitement, the room was glowing! The solo auditions continued throughout the day, and they were wonderful; these talented students really made the panel’s job hard as there were so many choices for the roles in this beautiful show.
The cast was announced on Wednesday 16 June and the room exploded with cheering and excitement. When auditioning for something like this, unfortunately, it isn’t possible for every student to be cast in the roles that they really want but the panel was so impressed and humbled by all the students’ support and encouragement of each other and the energy they brought to the process.
Behind the scenes there has been a lot happening. Students and staff have been raising their hands, keen to help out and, with the phrase ‘many hands make light work’ in mind, we are so happy to accept any and all help! We will be organising a meeting very soon with everyone that would like to help out to start a plan for backstage, costumes, props, sets and all things Seussical!
Rehearsals have begun and it’s going so well!
