Auditions for main parts 1 - your own short item

We'd like you to present a short (any length under 3 minutes) item - by yourself or with a friend. This item can be anything at all - it could be a song,
a dance, a poem, a skit, a piece of dialogue from a play, a joke, some magic, etc.  We're simply looking for you to present something you are comfortable with - we're looking at the presenting, not the content.  Only do something from Seussical itself if you know it well - we'd prefer something unrelated if you are more confident with that.  We'll try to make it as relaxed as possible - but we do need to video it, as we have to compare performances from over a dozen audition evenings.

Auditions for main parts 2 - sing along with a chorus song

As part of the audition evening we're asking you to sing along with a small extract from the first chorus "Oh, the thinks you can think" - we're looking for changes in expression for the different characters.  If you took part in our launch, please note that one line of this song is different - the monkeys' line is now the general's.
Think of an elephant up in a tree
Think of a person too tiny to see!
Think of a bird with a one-feather tail
Going on adventure down a dangerous trail!
Think a bird who flies off on a spree!
Think of a kangaroo, sour as can be!
Think of a general crazy for war!
Think of something horrible and hairy!
Something sinister and scary
That you never dared to think of before!

Auditions for main parts 3 - take turns to read some script

We'll only read enough of this dialogue to get an idea of how each person is able to present a character.  This scene from near the end of the show actually has music underneath it in the play, and a few chunks are sung - but we're just reading it 'as is' for the audition evenings.

4 - tell us which characters

Are there some characters you'd prefer to play than others?
Are you looking for solo singing, group singing, no singing?
Would you prefer a large, medium or small part?
