Looking for lots of good fun that is funny? Then Seussical (the musical) is for you …<\/p>\n

The latest production by the South Burnett Musical Comedy will hit the stage at the Kingaroy Performing Arts Centre on March 18.<\/p>\n

The colourful production features Dr Seuss’ most famous creations, including The Grinch, The Whos and Things 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

The 45 performers in the cast have been practising hard every week since early January to bring the wacky story, narrated by Cat In The Hat (Jarvis Cox), to life.<\/p>\n

It is being directed by Craig Reiger, with Sue Dowideit-Reiger as choreographer and Julee-Anne Bell as musical director.<\/p>\n

Sue is doubling in the cast as Amazing Mayzie and Julee-Anne as the Sour Kangaroo.<\/p>\n

The young stars include Jordan Chapman as Horton the Elephant and Zoe Basham as Gertrude McFuzz.<\/p>\n

Craig said Suessical may not have been a big hit on Broadway but it was the most successful community musical ever produced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kingaroy stage will be filled with teenagers and young children, with another 10 people working hard backstage.<\/p>\n

And, of course, there is the music …<\/p>\n

“The score is lively to match the characters,” Craig said.<\/p>\n

The students come from multiple local schools … a quick check by southburnett.com.au<\/strong> at the dress rehearsal on Sunday afternoon found youngsters from Kingaroy and Nanango State High Schools; Kingaroy, Nanango and Taabinga State Schools; St John’s Lutheran School and St Mary’s Catholic College.<\/p>\n
