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!

Those who saw the 1 armed Vlad

Those who saw the 1 armed Vlad or were involved in the show from the 2nd wednesday onwards would probably know i was out of action due to a broken collar bone sustained on the wednesday night after the show. Tomorrow, Friday the 12th, i go under the knife at Freo to get it fixed in place and screwed together at its original length. I'd just like to thank those that helped me during those last 2 weeks, and hope you'll all be wishing me well for the day. Catch up with you all again soon at the video night, When Kim has time to arrange it :) All the best David
