As a person who has seen several rehearsals of the show, i really didn't know if it was going to get together as quickly as it did. Seeing the show last night it it's full was a first for me and i was really amazed. because in all truth this is a fantastic show!! and very worth seeing if you like comedy, Dr seuss, or just want to have a good night out with your family. The cast is a great bunch of people with a good blend of voices and personalities. Kim Shaw has done a great job with direction and has used everything available to her to get the show to its full potential. To complement this direction is the fantastic set, designed by Martin Shaw with the help of Dr Seuss, and colourful bright lighting which reflects the atmosphere created in the Seuss books. As i will be view the show many times during it's run i am very excited to see it's progression. cheers tammy

Sussiscal the musical

Amazing!!! I can not express to you how much I enjoyed this show! Broadway comes to Hacket hall. I admit I was sceptical at first and upon seeing just how young the majority of the cast are I considered going for another complimentary sherry. Oh how groundless my scepticism was, Kimberly Shaw has skilfully directed an enormous cast to produce a seamless show with wonderfully choreographed dances, good consistent singing, numerus sparkling imaginative costumes (that are often rather sassy)and a multi piece set that both sets the scene and inspires the imagination (Yay for Marty).All this is made even more special by the inclusion of a live band. I’m going to shy away from making any special mentions as I think all the roles big and small were done very well and when you go because you MUST you will warm to all the Dr Suess characters and make your own favourites. Sussiscal the musical runs for another week and if you don't go you are doing your self a grate injustice. Thank you to the entire cast for a wonderful night. Shenandoah Bruce
