SEUSS!!!

So as you have probably heard we are doing Seussical the Musical this coming April! I am so excited that we are finally producing this show. We fell in love with the music and the message from the first time we heard it. We have gotten the chance to be in this musical twice and both times were such a great experience we couldn't wait for the opportunity to produce it ourselves. The first time we were in Seussical was at Civic Theater in Allentown. Teara, Jewel, Jorne, and I were Whos and Taryn was the Sour Kangaroo. I loved being a Who. They are just such happy characters. Generally in Seussical all of the Whos wear almost all yellow which I think is cool, its fun to try and make things look different enough even though everyone is in the same color. For the production at Civic we actually went out and got our own costumes, I wore this cute yellow dress with a purple polka-dotted belt and a baseball cap, I thought is was pretty fun! Taryn's costume was interesting....haha. She had a blue baggy leopard print overalls with plaid ears and tail. It didn't yell kangaroo but I mean, its Dr. Seuss, it didn't need to:) The whole cast of that show was phenomenal, I was jealous of the audience haha!


The second production we were in was at Chansonette Theater in Easton. That was also wonderful to be a part of. Teara and I were Bird Girls, Jewel and Jorne were Wickershams, and Taryn was the Sour Kangaroo again! Being a Bird Girl was a lot of fun and very challenging. There are 3 Bird Girls, they are kind of like narrators and since the whole show is in song they sing alot...the whole time in 3 part harmony. Jewel and Jorne loved being Wickershams. They pretty much just got to fool around the whole time with some singing and dancing thrown in.

We have also seen the show a couple different places and each time I just wish I was on that stage!

Every production we have seen or been a part of was so different from each because there are no strict creative rules to follow for this type of show. Since it is a fantasy and it is Dr. Seuss you can have so much fun with the creative process. The only thing we have to make sure of is that we get the message across clearly and easily because that is the most important part of this show. "A persons a person no matter how small" is the message and the reoccurring theme of Seussical. It is so great because it encompasses all human life, in or out of the womb, from the moment of conception till God feels it's our time. It's a message that everyone needs to listen to, think about, and take to heart every day of our lives.


I am just so excited to do this show I hope you all join us!!!
