Bravo Productions to Present SEUSSICAL JR. at The Randolph Road Theater This Weekend
by BWW News Desk - June 06, 2016
The first question is WHY?  Seussical Jr. seems to be all the rage this season in our area, with schools at every grade level mounting the fantastic musical extravaganza of the favorite Dr. Seuss characters.  Distinctive about BRAVO's rendition is a return to the notion that musical theatre is fundamentally about story telling and the Cat in the Hat (Luke LaMotta) as the narrator weaves this tale as a "play within a play", where Horton the Elephant (Matthew Milam), Gertrude McFuzz (Cynthia Jacobson), Mayzie La Bird (Madison Sherman) the Sour Kangaroo (Josie Stein) of the Jungle of Nool interact with the citizens of Whoville, led by Mr. and Mrs. Mayor (Mimi Lemar/Will Sexter or Ava Klugerman/Jayden Armour) and their young son Jojo (Lexi Blank).  Horton, in discovering a speck of dust containing the tiny people called the Whos, also learns the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community.

BWW Review: Thrilling NEVERWHERE: A Signature Production for an Ambitious New Company
by Jack L. B. Gohn - June 06, 2016

You will find yourself transported for three hours into a world completely different from our own, but it is nevertheless detailed, dramatically coherent, and totally absorbing.
