Has anyone else noticed that Seussical has been popping up everywhere lately? I can think of 3 community theatres that just did it, our town's childrens theatre, and our school next year! Even the chicago shakespere theatre is currently doing it!

Just wondering if there's been a seussical craze where you all live

I think it's the number one most performed musical in high schools (followed by Grease)

I just directed it at the community theatre here in town. It's a good choice, because the music is fun but not tough, and the casting is extremely easy. you can almost cast anyone as anything and make the show work somehow. my wickersham brothers were three junior high boys, and it worked! it was great. I also had a mayor and Mrs. Mayor who were in their seventies, and it was great fun.

I think Urinetown is going to be performed in every college this season.

I'll be auditioning for Urinetown in December.

I've been seeing it. My school was going to do it, but we did Aida instead (another musical that has been going around)

Chicago Shakespeare is doing the "for young audiences" version - an hour and fifteen minutes long - a cast of 14, major sections cut out.

our school did it about a year and a half ago. and ive heard about it all over the place. but the big production in our city has been charlie and the chocolate factory. i think about 4 schools did it this year and 2 the year before that. our school never did it tho.

I just finished doing it in Chicago with a rather unknown theater group. It was by far the most fun I have ever had on stage. The characters are so whimsical and so much fun to potray. Our costumes were so detailed and the whole show was a blast!

Now that you mention it, my sister and brother were in different productions of it within a couple of months of each other, and we don't have that much theatre available around us.

Salad_Fingers - was it that teen theatre where you have to pay like $250 to be in the show (and provide your own costume)?

I am in Seussical right now at Plays in the Park in New Jersey.

I have also done it once before as Mrs. Mayor. Now I'm a Bird Girl. Lots of fun- I would so do it again.

This year, Joseph is the "Seussical" of my area.

The community theatre where my school is is doing it this fall, but they're holding auditions before all the students come back to school. Boo - now I can't audition.

my high school did Seussical two years ago. I was the sour kangaroo. I've done a lot of theatre and i have to say that Seussical was one of my favorite shows i've ever been in. it's just fun, everyone on stage always has a good time, and that makes the audience love it.
