I'm so sorry for your loss. When I was 18 or 19 I found out that a guy I had gone to school with since Kindergarten passed away in a bad car accident. He and I weren't best friends but I had known him for so long so I was sad to find out he had died. What happened to your friend? How did he pass away? If you don't mind my asking.

This song holds a very special place in my heart. The way I interpret it is that you may feel like you're alone with everything. Nobody sees you, you don't have a friend their for you and everything is so overwhelming. But when you finally find someone who genuinely cares and wants to be with you, and likes you for you, everything is easier. I cried like a baby to this song a couple nights ago. This song is forever my favorite

So my musical production place that I have been to since I was 4, is now being closed down because the head director is retiring. This song goes way back since I was 9 (I'm 14). My best friend was Horton and I was Jojo. Everyone who has been apart of that company is coming together and making one last show for a surprise thing for the director and her husband. This song for sure is gonna make me cry because my best friend moved to Texas 4 years ago and he's coming down for this event. I'm gonna most certainly cry •-•

My friend was horton too but she hasn't moved (but I'm homeschooled now) and she's in my neighborhood but now she gets home after darker. We did the play i was in fourth so i was like 10, I'm 13 now and i was a bird girl. The bird d girls always had drama the theatre teacher even threatened to only have two bird girls (me and and the fifth grader) it was better after that but the second graders were still so annoying though. Its was two second graders, one third grader, two fourth graders, and one fifth grader, i was friends with the fourth grader, third grader, and fifth grader. I auditioned for Cat in the hat, the director said i was good but "you just need to gain more confidence" which i did by the end of the show even though i did pretty bad the second night. We where going to do the Lion King jr. Play tye next year but COVID -19 came so their doing it this year which means i lose my part she hasn't given it to anyone as far as my friend knows though, i was going to be Sarabi and Sarafina with one of the girls who were playing bird girls with me last time we had the purple outfits, (i wanted blue) we where going to switch one night i was Sarafina the next night she was. It was nice though.💜💜 If anyone even read this far thanks and i hope you have a great (or amazing) year.🎉🎉

@Molly Johnson I can try to give you a few tips. I did this musical several years ago at my high school. First off, make sure you practice, practice, practice the song you are going to do for the audition. That’s really important. Second of all, no dairy products on the day of the audition. Dairy products, ice cream and milk especially, causes your throat to get yuckified before you sing. So, instead, drink plenty of water. Thirdly, keep yourself calm before and during the audition. Stage fright can happen to the best of us, so it's best to find ways to calm yourself if you must. Breathing exercises are a good example of what you can do. Fourthly, as much as I hate to say this...don't get your hopes up too high about whether you will get the part you want or not. Just like you, I auditioned for the part of Jojo. I thought I was pretty much guaranteed it. I had aced the audition (I sang one of Jojo's songs for it), I was the perfect height that Jojo needed to be (he is supposed to be the shortest of all of the Whos. It's canon.), and Jojo fit me to a T, personality wise. But then, come the day of the reveal, I was left in angry, heartbroken tears. I'd been chosen as one of the chorus girls and, as for Jojo, it was given to the second tallest male who auditioned. (Horrible Irony that I hated with a passion.) And it was all because I was a girl. The script may say that the part can be played by a boy OR a girl, but, trust me, it will more than likely go to a male. So, as I said before...don't get your hopes up too much...it will save you a lot of hurt feelings in case you don't get it. And, if you do, then congratulations! Break a leg out there and you will be great, no matter what part you get. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!! The whole play is a Dr. Seuss play, so have a lot of fun with it!

This song is so powerful to me ever since I heard it and I relate to it so closely because I'm the youngest in my whole family. Actually my class too. It just makes me feel so good for some reason

I HIGHLY agree. I played the Cat in the Hat, and Idid extensive research on the hidden meanings of all the songss. Suessical is probably the best show I've ever done and its become one of my all-time favorites.

When I auditioned for Seussical at my local acting academy I listened to this video for inspiration. I got the part of Horton. I have played in many shows but Horton is still my favorite roll I've ever played.

I am getting so sentimental here. Tears are in my eyes. My daughter, her mother, and I attended a production of Seussical. When they performed this song they had the Cat in the Hat character walk around the audience. He was carrying a bubble machine. As the bubbles floated around all the children got up and started to jump up to pop the bubbles with these little hand clappers they had given out earlier. The beauty and innocence of children. One of the happiest days I spent with my daughter as a child. I was still married and my life was so much simpler. My parents were still alive and I was part of a family with my then-wife.

i did seussical this year from January to April 2018, one of the most magical times of my life. i remember the auditions, how nervous i was, and waiting anxiously to see what part i was gonna get. i got the part i wanted, which was the wickersham brother! i remember counting down the days until performance time. i remember on the start of tech week so excited for rehearsals until the show. i remember all our tiny inside jokes. i remember meeting my best friend during seussical, and meeting so many other new friends. i remember being excited for rehearsal each and every day, and even excited to go to the two weekend rehearsals. i remember calling my friend when i was bored and singing the seussical songs together. i miss seussical, and it really was a fun experience.

I’ve listened to this song so many times and I want to cry every time I hear it it’s SO GOOD

I love listening to this song. My big brother played Horton a few years back and this song reminds me of him so much.

I remember hearing this song for the first time when we first cold read the script. It ended up being my favourite song because I loved how sentimental and adorable it was. I did end up getting Ms Mayor, so after me and the guy younger than me finished doing the bathtub bit, I get to chill backstage while hearing this majestic of a tune. I was a senior in high school, and I was super depressed. But now I miss these days dearly. Right now, I’m working on my way to be an amazing freelance illustrator and moving to my own place in a few months. I wish I can return to theatre though….

This is amazingly motivating. I remember being one of the Wickershams in the play :D

I saw this play at our high school! It was really nice! I love that song!

I have had the same experience, I tried out for a musical and so did my friend. My friend tried out for the Cat and Horton(as security), while I tried out for Horton. My friend did horrible at Horton (he even said so), while I did very well and never needed the book, which he did. When my friend tried for the cat, he did awesome and also didn't need his book. However another guy got the cat (who can't sing, needed his book; and always gets parts), while my friend got Horton (mind you I think he will do good as Horton, but I did better and he did better at Cat). While I got left with the Grinch, who has 1 line as a cameo in "Here on Who".

That's actually true and not true at the same time. Most shows are already precasted so there is a rare chance for newcomers to get a good role. Roles are also dependent on looks. For Ariel in the little mermaid, if you have red hair and can sing and the other girl has brown hair and can sing then you most likely will get the role due to your hair. It's just how it is I guess.

God I love this song~
