Extra Credit: Seussical the Musical

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I had so much fun!!! Mike, Nici, and I went to see Seussical the Musical at Clackamas High School. The script was quite good. It was so sweet and definitely had the Dr. Seuss rhymes and phrases throughout the play. The script was well put together. It had a story line, a plot, but stood fast to the Dr. Seuss way.

The acting was really good. Every actor in the musical was excited and energetic. There was not one person on stage that wasn't filled with energy. The main characters also fit their parts. They were amazing! They were funny, exciting, and full of character. No one was flat. Everyone had energy just bubbling out of them. It made me excited and enjoy the show even more.

The director did a fabulous job. He casted just right. Especially The Cat in the Hat. He was absolutely hilarious. I had laughed so much by the end of the show at just him, I was crying. The director also was good at designing the stage and tying it with the characters and their costumes. Great script choice, good blocking, great choreography.

The design on stage was amazing!!! They had The Cat in the Hat flying!! It was so awesome! I had a lot of fun just looking at the stage. There were so many bright, radiant colors. The special effects, like the screens with Dr. Seuss fish and swirls and such were great too. It was really cool.

The stage was put together great! It was a proscenium arch. In fact, it was huge! There was so much space it was somewhat unbelievable but there were so many different things happening, like the set pieces changing, people flying, screens going in and out, they needed the space, for sure.

Overall, it was a great play!! I had a lot of fun and am really happy I got to see it.
