Wow! Everybody loved this show. And why not? The memorable Seuss characters were brought lovingly to life by such great artists as Arthur W. Marks (the Cat in the Hat), Justin Robertson (Horton the Elephant), Jenni Barber (Gertrude McFuzz), Karen L. Robu (Mayzie LaBird), Betti O. (The Sour Kangaroo), and Tim Robu (General Genghis Kahn Schmitz). And a great audience favorite was the unbelievably talented 9-year-old Quintan Craig (who is just as nice a young man as he is gifted). Inventively staged by MTW favorites Linda Goodrich and Roger Castellano, it featured colorful new sets created by J Branson, and wonderfully whimsical costumes by George Bacon. David Neville’s lighting was pretty magical, too.
