An Ode to Seussical

To Seussical the Musical, from Mrs. Marchant:

The stage lights dimmed

Jojo ran from stage right

To discover the striped hat focused in the center light.

Soon to follow came

The Cat in the Hat, don’t you know!
Who put that hat right on the head of his bro.

So Coolidge play began

Otherwise known as “Seussical”

What I learned tonight… It is one special musical!

Let’s give some credit,

Where credit is due,

Such as hats off to that Elephant, (You know: Horton the Who!)

He was not the lone singer

There were many, at that!
Such as Gretrude McFuzz, And the Cat in the Hat!

More beautiful singers included

The jazzy Mayzie Labird.

While the Sour Kangaroo was one of the sweetest voices I heard!

The Wickersham Brothers

Danced in intimidating fits,

While a strong voice emerged from General Gengus Khan Schmitz.

The Bird Girls swayed their hips,

The Dancers jumped and flipped,

The Jungle Creatures sang, and danced, and dipped.

The Grinch, with a heart

Growing sizes throughout

Sang with Cindy Lou Who (Their problems sorted out.)

The Whos down in Whoville

Were as sweet as could be

From their speck they did call: “Horton: Do you hear me?”

The cadets marched so neatly

In such great contrast

To the Circus Performers who flipped and twisted by fast!

The entire production

Was a marvelous feat

I was so lucky to have such a special front seat!

To the actors and actresses,

To the technical crew,

To Ms. Loussedes, Ms. Prindiville, and the orchestra, too!

The singing, the dancing,

The costumes, the set.

This was one of the best Coolidge musicals I have seen yet! 

Congratulations to you all

For a production that was just beautiful!
Thanks for all your hard work in Seussical the Musical!
