Seussical the Musical

I 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!

Hmmm I actually wrote this straight after I got home from the show on friday but posted it in the wrong spot sorry. Amazing!!! I can not express to you how much I enjoyed this show! Broadway comes to Hacket hall. I admit I was sceptical at first and upon seeing just how young the majority of the cast are I considered going for another complimentary sherry. Oh how groundless my scepticism was, Kimberly Shaw has skilfully directed an enormous cast to produce a seamless show with wonderfully choreographed dances, good consistent singing, numerus sparkling imaginative costumes (that are often rather sassy)and a multi piece set that both sets the scene and inspires the imagination (Yay for Marty).All this is made even more special by the inclusion of a live band. I’m going to shy away from making any special mentions as I think all the roles big and small were done very well and when you go because you MUST you will warm to all the Dr Suess characters and make your own favourites. Sussical the musical runs for another week and if you don't go you are doing your self a grate injustice. Thank you to the entire cast for a wonderful night. Shenandoah Bruce
