Seussical the Musical a Hit!

Through sickness and in health, Seussical the Musical at Southwest Playhouse marched on through all adversity to be an almost entirely sold out show! With a cast of over 60 of our favorite Southwest Playhouse faces, the seats were packed every night with people of all ages to see this fabulous production.

Though on the surface Seussical can seem only whimsical and bright, the underlying lessons of acceptance, open-mindedness, bravery, and self-confidence were evident in this production. Mark Henry was, as always, extremely entertaining in his role as The Cat in the Hat. Braxton Driskill was everyone's darling as the adorable and free-thinking JoJo. Emmi Madden made us laugh, and she made us cheer for her ridiculously cute and sweet Gertrude McFuzz, and Lane Gatley moved us all with his beautiful voice and sweet character as Horton the Elephant.

The stage was full of many other amazingly talented actors, and each and every one of them added to the quality of the show, as the ensemble pieces showed the hard work put in by all. The costumes were beautiful and the lighting added so much to the stage and set. Overall, Seussical the Musical was a hit Southwest Playhouse is very proud of.
