Thoughts on Seussical the Musical? My school (college) is doing it and I dont know if I should audition or not. Is it good music, big cast, fun to do? Anyone?

As I said like 5 times in different threads (if you kindly check the archives of the board with the search option, you will find lot's of seussical threads, the last, one week ago...) I don't like. I hate the Dr. Seuss world and the music it's not great (to me, of course.)

I dunno, I can't decide for you. You like Wicked, your taste is "out there"... Updated On: 9/6/04 at 10:09 PM

When you are a young actor, try out for everything. Later on you can be picky, but be involved in everything you can. You need that early experience even with school productions.

I personally love it.

Get the cast recording. It's Janine LaManna belting. It's worth it!

Seussical is not the best show, but the score is very good. It is fun to do, if i were you i would audition.

I'm auditioning for it tomorrow. It was either that or Annie.

One question: What part did Ann Harada play?

Go to Amazon.com buy the frikin' CD and then if you don't like it, just resell it, that's what it's there for...

Ann Harada was ensemble and the court marshall. she understudied the Mayor's Wife. I had the privelage of seeing her as the mayor's wife.

And I also like MANY other musicals. It's called being open-minded. All I asked was for some opinions.

Sheesh, there's no need for bickering here. =D

OhSoWicked, I envy you. I'd love a chance to do a show like this (not that there are any roles in it for me). "Seussical" is a pretty lighthearted (for the most part) show with a handful of GORGEOUS numbers. Audition for it and see what you get. I think you'll have a blast with this show. :)

Which colleges are doing it?


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
