Dr. Seuss' pro-environmental tale, THE LORAX, is on stage at Mirvish's Royal Alex Theatre. As the voracious villain, the Once-ler, Simon Paisley Day helps bring the popular children's story to life in a colourful stage spectacle. Simon Paisley Day took some time to answer a few questions from BroadwayWorld's Taylor Long about performing for kids, working with puppet co-stars and the impact of this morality musical.
I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees! screams the puppet with three puppeteers on their knees. Unlike the show, I won't spend this in rhyme - and I promise to not take as much of your time. THE LORAX, presented by Mirvish is vivaciously visual. Dr. Seuss's fictional world becomes livable with colourful, captivating designs, folky tunes and unique, striking costumes that create a dreamy theatrical experience. In David Greig's stage version, adapted from the short children's book, most of the one-line story is covered by intermission, leaving the second act to grumble on and on through an already thin plot.

Under the sobriquet Prequell, he also conjures compositions that strikingly blur the lines between electronic and classical music - the latest collection of which will be gathered for the upcoming album The Future Comes Before. In anticipation, we have the first single, the awesomely cinematic 'Part XIV,' with its visceral, dramatic sweep of strings, and featuring a powerfully moving vocal by British songstress Rae Morris.' -- Ken Scudato, BlackBook (6/30/17)
