I remember these songs so well it brings tears to my eyes when I do. For those few months back in 2010, when I was 11, that we spent rehearsing this and finally performing it, this musical was my life, and to an extent my childhood. I remember also being backstage and hearing songs like 'Notice Me, Horton', 'Alone in the Universe' and 'Solla Solew' and really wanting to tear up and cry, but I restrained myself knowing that if I did cry, and rub my face clean of the tears, all the Cat makeup I wore would come off, lol. These songs have such an emotional, heartwarming magic to them that sets this musical above any I've done since.
GERTRUDE It's taken all my courage to approach you Not to mention all my stamina to follow you Across the hills and deserts. But I feel as if I'm ready To confess to you the feelings That I've hidden with great diligence and labor... Behind the façade Of your odd little next-door neighbor. My eyes are too small. I have very large feet. And I'm not very proud of my pitiful tweet But I've now got a tail That is something to see... HORTON One hundred and two. One hundred and three. GERTRUDE Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather. This is your next-door neighbor calling! Notice me, Horton. Horton, together We could be great Oh, notice me, Horton Put down the clover! This is your next door neighbor calling. There's a new leaf Your neighbor's turned over HORTON Over and over, Clover by clover... GERTRUDE, HORTON I was just a no one only yesterday. You showed up and showed me something more. Now I've become a someone Who has someone to believe in And to be there for... (HORTON continues his search) GERTRUDE (Quietly determined) I will not give up hope. I was hooked from the start When I noticed your kind And your powerful heart. So notice me, Horton... HORTON Oh, the world would be something new GERTRUDE Notice me, Horton HORTON If they noticed a thing or two... GERTRUDE Notice me, Horton GERTRUDE, HORTON The way I notice you.
At our first reading, the guy who plays Horton just screamed “NOTICE ME, HORTON” right at the beginning of this and we all started cracking up XD the person playing Gertrude was having so much fun!
lol when I did the musical we had to audition for Gertrude and at 102 103 the guys would all say it counting on they're fingers to cue us and idk why but it was really funny
So the weird thing about this song is that im in this play and i have a HUGE crush on the guy that's playing hortan (and it would be hilariously amazing if i got the role of gurtude but I didn't) so whenever they rehearses this song I sing along in my head cuse he always acts like he doesn't know I exist 😂😂😂😂
+Carlz C so I was in suessical the musical jr. last year and when I was in the musical that time, the person who played Horton I had a ginormous crush on and I played gertrude.
I’m playing Gertrude in this show and I LOVE THIS SONG! When we were rehearsing, the director asked me and Horton to sing this song (in an instrumental) and do the moves, even though we literally just learned it and we did amazing!
I love all the harmony. The song is stuck in my head. Since my daughter heard the wonderous song she wants to audition for the seussical performance. great song!

Notice me, Horton The way I notice you. Two million, Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine. It's hopeless. You said it kid. Who's there? It's me. Mayzie. Up here. Mayzie . Are you on a nest? Yeah. You wanna make something of it? No, I just never thought I'd see you on a nest Neither did I, Hort... neither did I.
OMG I GOT PART AS GURTRUDE AND THE GUY PLAYING HORTAN IS SOOOO HAWT IN MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I HOPE I SING ALRIGHT NOTICE ME SENPAI PLZ
At my school, we did this play. My dad and my brother did all the lighting, mics, and music. Now, my dad can't help but laugh when they sing this song.
Notice me Senpai forever and ever This is your underclassman calling Notice me Senpai Senpai, together, We could be great..... My take on this song. I got Gertrude!!!! ;)
I'm auditioning for Suessical the Musical Jr at my school, and I desperately want to play Gertrude, because I've wanted to play her since I was, like, 8. I can't wait to see what comes of it no matter what!
Did this in HS in 06. Pit, with my closest friends. Boy was this fun compared to normal band music. This song has no trumpet so I was probably admiring Gertrude's costume design or picturing the chords of the song on a keyboard. One of the best in the play.
wow. I'm surprised there's no comments here. oh, well. I get to be the first to say BRILLIANT JOB! I really needed this song to get the harmony right. I'm Horton the Elephant in the play. This helped me lots. Thank you!
I am doing the play for my Music school and I'm Gertrude, I am the complete opposite of her, but I love her character so much! And this is one of my Favourite songs!😊
I’m playing Horton and I like the girl who’s playing Gertrude and it’s so hard not to sing along to this song with her. I’ll ask her out after the show which is in a few months so wish me luck
I'm Gertrude in my schools production of Seussical...we open in 20 days. It's amusing because last year we did Phantom and I was Carlotta...AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
During a practice of Notice Me, Horton, while they were on stage, our Cat and Mazie went up on the bridge we had made for some characters to be seen in the back and acted along in an over-dramatic way because Gertrude and Horton had been told they weren't acting enough. Gertrude saw them on the bridge and had to do her best not to laugh and keep going but HORTON WHEN THE WHOLE SONG NOT NOTICING A THING! He said he didn't even realize that Gertrude was trying to to laugh! XD
I’m thinking of learning this on the piano (or maybe eventually the ukulele when I get one) and singing it for the girl I like. She’s played Gertrude before (and she was so good !!!!). Tips on whether or not this is a good idea?
@Rad15h Lucky! My show was a good two years ago, my 8th grade year. I'm a Sophomore now. But have fun! Horton is a great role, the crowd really loves you. Cherish it!
just sang this song an hour ago for an audition for gertrude! I REALLY WANT HER!!! really nervous to see what happens! i really want to get a callback!
I just finished running Tech for this show... Such great music. I love this song... I want to be in a production of Seussical now... I'm thinking Cat in the Hat or Horton... :-)
Okay, so there are auditions for this in january and this guy I really like is hopefully going to audition! I want the part of Gertrude so bad!!! I really want him to be Horton!!!!! that would be the best day of my life!!!
This is my dream role, not because I want to be "the star" as far as female roles go, but because Gertrude's story is my story. She wasn't happy with herself, so she changed things that were perfectly fine to begin with, and then realized she didn't need to be the same as everyone to be beautiful, she was special in her own way. It took me long enough to realize that I'm not like everyone else for a reason(: It would be an honor to play this role, I hope I get the opportunity, wish me luck!(:
I remember these songs so well it brings tears to my eyes when I do.

GERTRUDE
It's taken all my courage to approach you
Not to mention all my stamina to follow you
Across the hills and deserts.
But I feel as if I'm ready
To confess to you the feelings
That I've hidden with great diligence and labor...
Behind the façade
Of your odd little next-door neighbor.
My eyes are too small.
I have very large feet.
And I'm not very proud of my pitiful tweet
But I've now got a tail
That is something to see...
HORTON
One hundred and two. One hundred and three.
GERTRUDE
Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather.
This is your next-door neighbor calling!
Notice me, Horton.
Horton, together
We could be great
Oh, notice me, Horton
Put down the clover!
This is your next door neighbor calling.
There's a new leaf
Your neighbor's turned over
HORTON
Over and over,
Clover by clover...
GERTRUDE, HORTON
I was just a no one only yesterday.
You showed up and showed me something more.
Now I've become a someone
Who has someone to believe in
And to be there for...
(HORTON continues his search)
GERTRUDE
(Quietly determined)
I will not give up hope.
I was hooked from the start
When I noticed your kind
And your powerful heart.
So notice me, Horton...
HORTON
Oh, the world would be something new
GERTRUDE
Notice me, Horton
HORTON
If they noticed a thing or two...
GERTRUDE
Notice me, Horton
GERTRUDE, HORTON
The way I notice you.

lol when I did the musical we had to audition for Gertrude and at 102 103 the guys would all say it counting on they're fingers to cue us and idk why but it was really funny

+Farah H I wish. (Cause she's a main role)
catzrawesome77 Yeah I know she's a major part ;) What part are you playing?
+Farah H im ensemble 😕

I’m auditioning for Gertrude and I haven’t practiced but this song claps
@@commentaryisaiahI got Horton too

+Carlz C so I was in suessical the musical jr. last year and when I was in the musical that time, the person who played Horton I had a ginormous crush on and I played gertrude.
+Carlz C cute!!
Anonymous 🤔🤔🤔 maybe he doesn’t know you exist. Or do you even exist. Ever thought about that. No you only think about yourself
I’m playing Gertrude in this show and I LOVE THIS SONG! When we were rehearsing, the director asked me and Horton to sing this song (in an instrumental) and do the moves, even though we literally just learned it and we did amazing!
I am about to have my first practice
That's great! I'm auditioning for the cat
I love all the harmony. The song is stuck in my head. Since my daughter heard the wonderous song she wants to audition for the seussical performance. great song!
I'm singing this for my audition- It's tomorrow. Wish me luck, Gertrudes! Hope I can be joining you soon! (Results Friday)
Laura Drinkwater

It's taken all my courage to approach you
Not to mention all my stamina to follow you
Across the hills and deserts.
But I feel as if I'm ready
To confess to you the feelings
That I've hidden with great diligence and labor...
Behind the facade
Of your odd little next-door neighbor.
My eyes are too small.
I have very large feet.
And I'm not very proud of my pitiful tweet
But I've now got a tail
That is something to see...
One hundred and two. One hundred and three.
Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather.
This is your next-door neighbor calling!
Notice me, Horton.
Horton, together
We could be great
Oh, notice me, Horton
Put down the clover!
This is your next door neighbor calling.
There's a new leaf
Your neighbor's turned over
Over and over,
Clover by clover...
I was just a no one only yesterday.
You showed up and showed me something more.
Now I've become a someone
Who has someone to believe in
And to be there for...
I will not give up hope.
I was hooked from the start
When I noticed your kind

Notice me, Horton
If they noticed a thing or two...
Notice me, Horton
The way I notice you.
Two million,
Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine.
It's hopeless.
You said it kid.
Who's there?
It's me. Mayzie. Up here.
Mayzie . Are you on a nest?
Yeah. You wanna make something of it?
No, I just never thought I'd see you on a nest
Neither did I, Hort... neither did I.
Thank you for the lyrics!! But this is the junior version, so the lyrics are different

The harmonies hit so hard😫
During a practice of Notice Me, Horton, while they were on stage, our Cat and Mazie went up on the bridge we had made for some characters to be seen in the back and acted along in an over-dramatic way because Gertrude and Horton had been told they weren't acting enough. Gertrude saw them on the bridge and had to do her best not to laugh and keep going but HORTON WHEN THE WHOLE SONG NOT NOTICING A THING! He said he didn't even realize that Gertrude was trying to to laugh! XD
tried out for Horton today, fingers are crossed! beautiful song
y'all I can't stop listening to this.... I'm auditioning for Gertrude and this is so catchy
This is one of my favorite songs in the play (besides Biggest Blame Fool)!
I’m thinking of learning this on the piano (or maybe eventually the ukulele when I get one) and singing it for the girl I like. She’s played Gertrude before (and she was so good !!!!). Tips on whether or not this is a good idea?
I got Gertrude and my friend (who is a girl) got Horton and I have to sing this to her 😫
@Rad15h Lucky! My show was a good two years ago, my 8th grade year. I'm a Sophomore now. But have fun! Horton is a great role, the crowd really loves you. Cherish it!
I was Gertrude when my school did this - I totally love this song :D My pitiful "tweet" was fun XD
This is my favorite song!!! (:
I love this play

I was Mayzie when we did this, but this song was one of my faves besides Biggest Blame Fool and Amazing mayzie

ILoveThisSong:))

I’m so exited I’m going to be Gertrude 😮😮🎉🎉
I'm gonna miss doing this musical
i did this play in theatre camp and i was a bird girl. not in this song but i loved it!
I just finished running Tech for this show... Such great music. I love this song... I want to be in a production of Seussical now... I'm thinking Cat in the Hat or Horton... :-)
Okay, so there are auditions for this in january and this guy I really like is hopefully going to audition! I want the part of Gertrude so bad!!! I really want him to be Horton!!!!! that would be the best day of my life!!!
