DREAMCOAT FANTASY THEATRE
Dreamcoat Fantasy Theatre proudly presents Seussical, the Musical this week at The Capitol Centre. Directed by Chris Mogan, Choreography by Krysten Griffith and Vocal Direction by Fiona Spack. The most amazing scenery painted by Stacey Caverly and costumes by Shirley Robinson.
Seussical is based on the works of Dr Seuss. It isn’t just one of his stories, it is a story that weaves together the most famous tales and characters in unexpected ways. The Seuss lexicon includes hundreds upon hundreds of wondrous characters, creatures, places and things. “Seussical” incorporates elements from at least 15 of his books, as well as many of his best loved and most familiar characters. Many of these characters have never met one another before. But they meet in our musical. And in the course of the show, some will fall in love, some will have desperate adventures and some will save the world. And they’ll all travel everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool to Palm Beach.
Dr. Seuss believes in helping a friend, in not giving up, in keeping a promise. He believes in the value and dignity of others in working to preserve the fragile sweetness of the natural world, and he believes that peace is the ultimate ideal, among nations and in every heart. He also believes in the pure power of the imagination. You will find all these serious concerns at the heart of “Seussical”
School performances are scheduled for January 20, 21st and 22nd. Over 4,500 students, teachers and EA’s will be entertained by 93 children from grades 3-8 and from all local schools boards in this lively production that will keep you singing, tapping your toes and entertaining you long after the curtain closes.
