Don’t miss the new Seussical the Musical Jr. at the Peoples Theatre
Looking for a fun and exciting play for the children during the school holiday? Look now further ...
Jill Girard and Keith Smith are delighted to present Peoples Theatre’s second production of this year. As always bringing children, parents and all those with a love of joy and laughter, together for a rollicking theatre experience with the fabulous Broadway show, Seussical the Musical Jr.
Seussical the Musical Jr. runs through the winter school holidays, with the final performance on July 30 at the Peoples Theatre.
Based on the much-loved Dr Seuss books, Seussical Jr draws its characters from a number of books. It is filled with non-stop music, laughter, and feel-good fun. Dr Seuss has been a children’s favourite author for over 60 years and is loved for his use of language, rhyme and humor. The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who, Green Eggs and Ham and many more have been the stepping stones to reading for many children and introduced them to a wonderful range of characters and positive concepts.
The show’s directors Girard and Smith said, “The Peoples Theatre strives to educate younger minds to create a stronger generation through the medium of theatre. All while having loads of fun in the process and enjoying the magic that comes alive on the theatre stage.”
Designer Grant Knottenbelt will be bringing Dr Seuss’s unmistakable, quirky pages to the stage with his set design. Costumes were done by Merry Whillier, Sean McGrath and additional costumes were by Luciano Zuppa. Ian Mills is the choreographer and Coenraad Rall is the musical director.
