Seussical JR takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Amayzing Mayzie, and JoJo with iconic stories including Green Eggs and Ham, McGelligot's Pool, Oh The Thinks You Can Think, and Horton Hears a Who!
This musical adaption of the much loved children's story collection will humour even the grouchiest of Grinches and bring a spring to your step! Bursting from the page and onto the stage, our Junior Musical Theatre Program is packed to the brim with creativity, imagination, and the message of following your heart!
Join our Juniors (Grades 3-6) on this epic adventure!

FEES & DISCOUNTS
FEES
Each of our Musical Theatre performance programs run over two terms, full fees and discounts are viewable HERE.
A Costume Hire fee of $42 (inc. GST) will be added to your termly invoice so the team can get your costumes ordered and ready for dress rehearsals. ($84 total)
We always endeavour to keep costume costs at a minimum, so some simple items (like black basics, undergarments, and shoes) will be supplied by students while the more complex costumes will be supplied by ROCKIT Productions.
DISCOUNT PACKAGES
We know that the cost of living is greatly affecting our community, so please take a look at our 2026 DISCOUNT PACKAGE which we hope will help ease the load. Check it out HERE.
Basically, the more classes you add, the more you save!
PAYMENT PLANS
We do not expect fees to be paid in advance each term as these packages can really add up, so we offer a number of payment plan options with our direct debit partner PayAdvantage.
