We saw Seussical at The Muny on Friday. I think it was actually the “kid” show of the season but we loved it. Who doesn’t love Dr. Seuss? Seussical and Addams Family are tied for my favorite of the season so far. Stephen Wallam, who plays Thor on Nurse Jackie and who played Shrek last year, returned again this year to play Horton. John Tartaglia played the Cat in a Hat. He had played the genie in Aladdin in 2012. They were both excellent and the set was amazing. After the show, as we were walking out, a man was talking to another older gentleman who said, "My son is the Cat in the Hat." The other man said, "He did a great job. You must be proud" and he said, "Oh yes, very proud" and touched his heart. I thought it was sweet.
We ate at the Culver Pavillion again before the show. In addition to the salads, cheese and fruit platter, breads, hummus, muffins, etc. the entrees were flat iron steak, fried shrimp, canelloni and “kid friendly” foods such as chicken fingers, mac and cheese and a baked potato bar and then apple crumb cake for dessert, Yum! Once again, I was stuffed.
The weather was beautiful. We have really lucked out this year. Only two more shows left and hopefully the weather will cooperate.
Next week, Grease. Stay tuned…
