Seussical the Musical
Sat, 22 Apr 2006, 06:41 pmI went and saw Seussical last night and thought i'd give
just a very general commentary on what i thought worked and
didn't. Unfortunately a load of lights blew just before curtain
so there were a few glitchs with things like microphones and people
seen entering and exiting and props being moved or characters
being in shadow but all in all i think the cast and crew did a great
job dealing with it. most of the leads were superb, madeleine shawn (jojo),
drew elliot (cat in the hat), alex mclennan (horton), kira morsley
(mayzie) and my personal favourite vicki kirkman (gertrude mcfuzz).
all these players showed off great voices and some very funny
moments ensued... one thing, and i'm sure to be abused for this...
the chorus (as a whole) needed to work a lot harder, from remembering
choreography (which wasn't all that complex anyway...) to learning not
to bump into each other... all in all a good night and i'm sure as the
show goes on the glitches will be worked out and every night will hopefully
be better than the last! goodluck!
