seussical
The second play I saw for our assignment was Seussical The Musical. This was my second experience seeing a play and I enjoyed it, but not as much as I did with Bat Boy The Musical. I saw the production on Wednesday July 21st at the Workshop Theatre downtown. It was the theatre's second week for performing the play. I believe the Workshop Theatre had more seats than the Trustus Threatre, but on the night we saw the performance, the crowd was not as large as it was when I went and saw Bat Boy at Trustus. Seussical the Musical follows the adventures of Horton, an elephant who one day hears voices coming from a speck of dust. He soon discovers that inside this tiny speck exists the smallest planet in the universe. And upon this tiny planet, lived creatures known as Whos. Although other characters disagreed with what Horton believed about the Whos, Horton knew they still existed. Jojo, a child in the city of Who, follows Horton's journey as he is picked on for the unpopular act of thinking. Jojo and Horton attempt to do what they think is right, and together they sing the duet "Alone in the Universe." Horton is sold to the Circus McGurkus and eventually goes on trial before Judge Yertle the Turtle bef
When you walked around to the back of the building to enter the building, there were trees and flowers planted, and lights hung from the trees; making the atmosphere feel inviting. Overall, I thought the play was well organized, but poorly rehearsed with sound effects. The cast member I had the hardest time hearing and understanding was JoJo, which played a child in the city of Who. After attending Bat Boy at Trustus Theatre and being spoiled with seeing such a perfect show, I went into seeing Seussical The Musical with a more critiquing attitude. The seating was not as comfortable as it was in the Trustus Theatre but it wasn't bad. " During the play, the Cat in the Hat is in and out of scenes, narrating, playing numerous characters, and helping young audience members understand what is going on. Even with an attached mic, it was hard to understand and hear him throughout the entire show. The play focuses on the concept of trusting your instincts, and your abilities and not being afraid to dream, just as Horton did. The children in attendance seemed to be mesmerized by the play; I think more than the adults were. ore the other animals of the jungle come to recognize, as Horton has always known, that "a person's a person, no matter how small. My favorite part of the play was when Gertrude McFuzz took pills to enlarge her feathered tail, in order to attract Horton's attention. I found myself struggling to hear throughout each scene which frustrated me because the tickets were $16. For an example; in a dreary and sad scene, the lighting was kind of dark and gave an appropriate theme for each scene. Seuss books to me and this was a way to remember those times and to relate to something I had been exposed to.
