Good Things About Seussical - 2007/10/16 19:28 So my choir director is supposed to be announcing our musical pretty soon. There is a group of us that are really pulling for Seussical and I was wondering if any of you guys had some good reasons to do the show. I have seen it and think it would be a ton of fun. Let me know if any of you were in it, how it was. Thanks! -Eric

Re:Good Things About Seussical - 2007/10/17 07:20 I've been in it twice. (And ironically enough, I'm going to be in it again this spring...) It was really fun! A few good things about it for you:

~It's a very light-hearted show. People will leave happy.

~It's a good family show. Shows with family themes bring in more people.

~It can have a lot of people, or just a few.

~It doesn't need that complicated of a set or costumes. Think simple. (And inexpensive...)

~It full of well-known characters. (Who doesn't know Horton the elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and the Whos??) This isn't a golf tournament, being loud is more than acceptable!

Re:Good Things About Seussical - 2007/10/30 22:32 Tell him as a director the show is so much FUN!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED directing this show.. it can BE ANYTHING which is really great for us directors to once in a while get to be creative.

Now I am a SNOB when it comes to shows but this show is too much fun to be snobbish.

I want to do it again, but didn't submit it for next season as it got the poo poo last season. Currently Directing -
Sweeney Todd (March 2008)

Currently In - Jan 11 - Feb 3 2008
Moonlight And Magnolias - Ben Hecht (non musical)

Re:Good Things About Seussical - 2007/11/28 15:32 You can be really creative with everything from the set to the costumes! It is good for all ages and is a blast to be in direct or even just watch.

Although if your director is hesatant he has a valid reason because of the way it is done and it is put on a lot by elementary schools it is sometimes unfairly considered a not that great musical. I disagree and hopefully your director will see otherwise to Currently Combeferre

Re:Good Things About Seussical - 2007/12/28 17:40 its a very fun show, all the characters are such fun to play, the costumes could be either expensive or inexpensive, tons of families will come to it because it is definately a family show, lots of people will enjoy it, and you can get real creative with it. ~ Kaitlin ~ Always Rockin The Boat ~

Favorite Shows: Young Frankenstein, Curtains, Little Shop of Horrors, The Producers
Dream Roles that I have NO CHANCE of Getting Because of Something i Have no control over: Ulla from the Producers or Inga from Young Frankenstein (neither tall nor blonde - such a shame too, because this is one of my favorite "character roles" to play), Igor from Young Frankenstein (i'm no man, no matter how many times i play one), Gary Coleman from Avenue Q (skin color)
SEEING ON MARCH 29TH ON BROADWAY - YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
