For those of you who love, know, or have seen Seussical:

Who do you think is the most memorable part in Seussical?

To anyone who has seen the school version of Seussical:
1. Can they tell me the differences between the Broadway version and the school version? [If there is any...]
2. Curtain call
3. Which song you came out singing?

Thanks guys!

Kinda threadjacking but my school is doing Seussical this year...is it a decent show?

oops should have specified more:

I meant the curtain call list [order of bowing]

I know the show, but haven't been able to see it yet. A theatre company about 50 miles from us did it last season, and from what I understand, it was very well-recieved- especially by school group who attended.

I love the entire cast recording, but my favorite songs are "Having a Hunch", "Alone in the Universe", "Solla Sollew", "All For You" and "Biggest Blame Fool".

I'm in the process of tyring to convince the theatre company I work for to put Seussical on our season for 06-07, so if anyone has done the show and has any feedback that might help me, please let me know.

SEUSSICAL was revised three times in professional productions since Broadway.

There was pre-Broadway in Boston. Changed dramatically for Broadway and cut the song "The Lorax."

The "Cat" on Broadway changed three or four times. Cathy Rigby closed with the show. She then took it on the road and changed it up a LOT for the first national tour. "A Day For the Cat In The Hat" was cut. Lots of lyrics were changed - even some of the score. Scenes were cut, shortened, moved, etc.

Then a non-Equity tour followed a year or two later. Lots of staging changes, lyric changes, and some scene cuts/moves/shortening.

According to a friend who did the show, it's not the Broadway version. It's the non-Equity tour version, but they include "A Day For The Cat In The Hat" as optional. And there are two different scores: one for a male Cat and one for a female Cat.

I came out singing "It's possible", "Biggest Blame Fool" and "Alone in the Universe"... I've only seen a school production, but loved it!

I was in this over the summer. Fun show. Our curtain call was kinda messed up. Mr. and Mrs. Mayor bowed before the Whos. What's with that? I love Solla Sollew. Such a beautiful song!

Oh yes, she's a mother! (Literally)

Saw the original cast. I loved it. However it needed a strong central performance from the Cat in the Hat. It didn't get it and the show seemed to lack a center. With such a performance the show could have been much better. As it was it was still good but a bit diffuse.

YAY! I just finished intern directing a prouction of Seussical! We had a two weekend run with 12 shows... nine of them sold out. The cast was 75 kids and they were AWESOME!!! The great thing about the show is it's very creative and the actors and really take their character in about 400 different ways.

Our VERY last show.... the egg fell out of the nest and went rolling down the stage... and Horton had to chase it. Good times... that's childrens theater!

I don't understand why Mayzie kind of disapears for the rest of the show after she goes to the circus... where does she go? I kind of forget about her...

Memorable, well, there were some nice moments in the show. I really enjoyed David Shiner (spelling? I probably got it wrong) as The Cat in the Hat. For me, the best moment in that show that blended theatricality and the Seuss books was "Biggest Blame Fool in The Jungle of Nool."
The best, or most humable song to me was "How Lucky You Are." I sing that a lot still. Seussical is a flawed piece of great musical theater. The book is weak and any bit of gray is covered up by cheesy yellow. If there were darker elements I think it would have survived a while longer.

I am suditioning for this show in january....show is in march...yay!!!!!!!!!!

I want to be hoton.......vocal range fits me perfectly...yay

It would be so exciting of i was horton!!!!!!!!!!!
