Jonathan Law’s Drama Club is performing “Seussical the Musical,” a fun and new spin on Dr.Seuss’ classic stories, this spring.

The Drama Club members participating in this production say it is a lot of fun to be a part of.

“It’s a really good environment where everyone can be themselves and have fun,” junior crew member Ann Reed said.

Members know what it takes to be productive and know the hard work is worth it.

“It’s fun,” sophomore Emma Hudd said. “Of course, putting in work is difficult sometimes and acting takes out a lot of emotion in people, but it’s worth it in the end to see the finished product and put yourself in a fun situation.”

This fun environment has drawn many students to join the production.

“I saw all the productions in my sophomore year and thought it looked like a lot of fun and I never did anything like it so I joined in the fall with ‘Almost Maine’ and I loved it and had a lot of fun,” said junior Tyler Chavez, who will play in “The Cat in The Hat.”

Members of the musical think the audience will really be able to see the hard work they put into it and feel the emotions of their performance.

“I’m excited for people to come out and see this show because I think they’ll be able to tell that it’s a lot of fun, we’re having a lot and fun, and everyone is doing a great job,” Chavez said.

The musical is a fun show for all age groups.

“It’s fun learning how to perform for little kids,” stage manager Sarah O’Brien said.

Though the musical brings a lot of fun and excitement, it also has its challenges.

“When we’re all working hard and lacking sleep for weeks it gets a little tense, but we’re like a family so it’s like your sisters and brothers,” Hudd said.

The play is approximately an hour to an hour and a half with no intermission.

“Once you mix the choreography with the lyrics and actually sing in it, it gets difficult because you have to keep track of your breath and make sure you have breath to not only sing but also run around and do whatever steps you have to do,” Chavez said.

The play will take place at Law on April 15-16.

Members of the play are excited and are hoping for a happy crowd.

“The show is great,” Chavez said. “I’m so excited to be a part of it and I’m super happy that I joined it.”
