Seussical KIDS Cast of Characters
The Seussical KIDS cast list includes imaginative lead roles, flexible ensemble groups, playful animal characters, and colorful storytelling opportunities for younger performers. This KIDS version is especially useful for schools that want the world of Seussical in a format built for elementary-age casts.
Quick Casting Insight: Seussical KIDS works best when you have an earnest JoJo, three bold Cats, a sincere Horton, strong character singers for Gertrude, Mayzie, and Sour Kangaroo, and a large ensemble ready to create Whoville, the jungle, fish, Wickershams, and the imaginative world of Seuss.
JoJo
JoJo is the audience’s link to the story. The audience follows the narrative through his eyes, and he is also referred to as Child. Cast a young performer with an earnest, open disposition who can sing well, act naturally, and carry the emotional curiosity of the story.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: B3–Db5
The Cats
The Cats, Cat 1, Cat 2, and Cat 3, are mischievous and spirited creatures who take JoJo and the audience on an adventure. Cast three strong singers and movers who are bold, versatile, and able to switch roles quickly throughout the show.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: Bb3–D5
Horton
Horton is a lovable elephant with a heart of gold. Cast a young performer who sings well and can convey loyalty, conviction, and sincere care for the Whos.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Ab3–E5
Mr. Mayor
Mr. Mayor leads Whoville and tries to keep the town happy and secure. Cast a young man who can portray age, authority, and concern for his community. His voice should blend well with Mrs. Mayor.
Gender: Male
Mrs. Mayor
Mrs. Mayor is focused on keeping JoJo in line and supporting the safety of Whoville. Cast a strong singer and actor who pairs well with Mr. Mayor and JoJo.
Gender: Any
Gertrude McFuzz
Gertrude McFuzz is a bird with tail envy. Cast a great performer who can sing, act, and pair naturally with Horton.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–C5
Mayzie LaBird
Mayzie LaBird is a sneaky, carefree bird who tricks Horton into helping with her egg. Cast a young woman who can bring a fun, jovial, careless spirit to the role.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Bb3–D4
Sour Kangaroo
Sour Kangaroo is as sour as a kangaroo can be. Cast a young woman who can sing, act, and deliver plenty of attitude. This role should pair well with Young Kangaroo.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: C4–Db5
Young Kangaroo
Young Kangaroo is Sour Kangaroo’s smaller but equally spirited partner. This role can be played by a boy or girl and should function well as a pair with Sour Kangaroo.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: A4
Wickersham Brothers
The Wickersham Brothers, Wickersham 1, Wickersham 2, and Wickersham 3, are trouble-making monkeys. Cast performers who can make strong physical choices, complement one another, and bring distinct energy to their mischief. Wickersham 3 has mostly rhythmic spoken solos, so diction and rhythm matter.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: A3–E4
Judge Yertle
Judge Yertle the Turtle presides over Horton’s court proceedings. This is a fun role for a performer who can make strong acting choices.
Gender: Any
Vlad Vladikoff
Vlad Vladikoff is an eagle who drops Whoville into a field of clovers. This cameo role works well for a young performer with comedy instincts and bold acting choices.
Gender: Any
Ensemble
The Ensemble includes the Whos, Jungle Citizens 1–5, Fish, Wickershams, the Talk Show Host, Marshal, and other imaginative characters who create the vivid world of Seuss. Each creature or person should make bold choices and stay strongly connected to the rest of the cast.
Gender: Any
