[NEohioPAL] Review of BCT's Seussical the Musical by Greg Cielec

[smbintheboro]

Seussical, the Musical @ Beachwood Community Theatre 2/27
 
In these dire financial times, it's great that people are still supporting the arts--especially live entertainment. For some theater loving families, a night downtown might be a reach. But they aren't left out in the cold because of the abundance of quality, inexpensive smaller professional and community theater groups in Northern Ohio. 
 

One of those quality groups is the Beachwood Community Theater, which is currently putting on an entertaining production of Seussical, the Musical now through March 15 at Beachwood Middle School. It's a fun show, featuring colorful costumes and scenery, a cast filled with a nice mix of community theater veterans and young enthusiastic rookies and songs in that unique Dr. Suess language shared with the world during his auspicious career. 
 

The play combines two popular stories, Horton Hears a Who and Gertrude McFuzz, along with elements from dozen of other Dr. Suess favorites, in a series of musical dance numbers and comedy sketches. 
 

Amongst the stand out performances are Mark Oet as JoJo; Streetsboro High School senior Casey J. Braun as the Cat in the Hat; Ted Rosati as Horton the Elephant; Molly Sawyer as Mayzie LaBird; and Cheryl Eitman, whose day job is a Cantorial Soloist at several east side temples, as Gertrude McFuzz. 
 

I highly recommend this show, especially for a family outing that would include young children. Tickets are inexpensive; group rates are available. For more info on dates and showtimes call 292-1970.
