Do you have to have a really good voice to be Sour Kangaroo from Seussical?

Question:Yes, and it's also a character that has to be played by a good actor. The Sour Kangaroo has to have a lot of attitude, and must be able to switch to an even higher voice for her Young Kangaroo (if you're using a puppet as the Young Kangaroo, that is.) You also have to be a good belter.

Usually, she's played by an alto/mezzo.

yes there are many high notes and the kangaroo has to be a very good belter. She can be either an alto or soprano

I think the part is better played if you are a soprano, there are a lot of big keys you have to hit. Ya I think you have to have a good voice to be the Kangaroo
