“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” – Dr. Seuss

Friday, October 26 Seussical the Musical made  its debut performance on the ERHS stage with bang.

With a cast from five to 18-years-old, director Merica Frost and choreographer Abby Paul created a vibrant and imaginative story for audiences of all ages.

Narrator, the Cat in the Hat, played by junior Victoria Villamil helped led protagonist, Jojo, played by senior Ashley Kennedy through excited adventures in the world of Who with a simultaneous story of Horton the elephant, played by Christian Sanchez, and his adventures in the Jungle of Nool.

The advanced-level production class worked for weeks to put together a show stopping performance with dazzling sets and classic musical numbers such as ‘Biggest Blame Fool’, ‘Monkey Around’ and ‘Solla Sollew’.

When asked about the show sophomore Brianne Lever had this to say; ” It was super cute and I absolutely loved it. The school’s shows are always really good. 10/10 would recommend.”

The theater department has three more performances planned after opening night. Saturday, October 27; November 2 and 3 at seven o’clock in the Roosevelt theater.
