A British musical about Louisiana in 1959 says it all.

Screw Cats! Screw Phantom! Screw Andrew Lloyed Webber! Go see "Seussical the Musical" at Seattle Musical Theatre instead!

All your favorite characters (Horton, Mazie, Gertrude, Whos, and more!), amazing singing and a great theater to watch it in! Great for kids and adults alike. LAST WEEKEND TO SEE IT!

And then go see Dina Martina. But see Seuss first.

I hear Seussical the Musical is way better. And more fun. And no "Cats" or "Phantoms" or over-wraught music hanging over you throughout.

@1, you're right. I saw it on the west End in 2000, and it was laughable. For one thing, the accents were hilarious, but the show itself was just really bad.

Honestly, I can't believe that so many people would honestly want to take a ride on Andrew Lloyd Webber's biggest Cleveland Steamer to date. The music and singing were good and the set changes were interesting, but the plot was ham-handed, overly religious, and downright awful.

Hello!

Music Snob here.

Todd Rundgren produced "Bat Out of Hell." Jus' wanting well-informed Slog readers to know da truth...

You, Hal, are correct. Steinman co-wrote BOOH and co-wrote and produced BOOH II.

Sorry, everyone.
