Wow! I got the role of Mayzie in Seussical and I sang Don’t rain on my parade from Funny girl because it is a really peppy song and it says here I am!

Mayzie is definitely a LOUD role so be prepared to belt! I was in suessical and will be doing it again in summer! I was a who (opposite of mayzie) but I just love mayzie! So fun, street smart, and just a little quirky. Our fabulous Mayzie was perfect and don’t go out for this role is you are afraid to really be confident. You’ve got to have fun!

I auditioned for Seussical and got the part of Mayzie. She was so fun to play! A helpful tip is to act while singing when auditioning. If you have a great voice for Mayzie but your face is expressionless, most times they will not pick you. In addition to acting while you sing, it’s important to have good breath support (take a breath from your belly) when hitting those long notes during an audition.

Hey! I’m trying out for Mayzie and I have seen Seussical, so I would sing one of her songs, but I’m best at singing Biggest Blame Fool, I found out. I’m putting some Mayzie attitude in it! Toodle-oooo! (Heh, Heh.)

How about something from Chicago. There are songs with attitude and vanity. Songs from Bette Midler or Liza Minnelli could be good. “New York New York” is a classic that’s easy to learn and you can strut on that. These are older examples but ones that might lead the directors to cast you as a Mayzie if you can pull it off.

My highschool is doing Seussical and our audition is in a little over a week and I don’t know what song or monologue to do. The song and monologue are supposed to contrast eachother. I’m already doing a monologue for the part of Gertrude. (I kissed a boy once from… gotta look up where it’s from again) but I don’t know what song to do because I want it to portray just a little bit of Kangaroo and a little bit of Mayzie. I need a song full of attitude and vanity. Any help?
