“One small voice in the universe’’
Seussical
January 16-19, 2014 • Victoria Theatre - There perhaps doesn’t exist a musical with such youthful joy as Seussical, and there surely isn’t a production of the show that can boast more of that joy than the Muse Machine’s. Muse’s rendition of the show enlisted the help of accomplished acrobat, dancer, actor and “new vaudevillian” Fred Garbo to turn a passing reference in the script to the Circus McGurkus into an elaborate sequence featuring delightfully Seussian inflatable props and cast members performing all manner of circus tricks, from juggling to unicycling. This is just one way the show was scaled up to accommodate over 100 performers as old as 18 and young as 5. But after all, as Seussical so charmingly reminds us, “a person’s a person no matter how small.”
