“Seussical Jr.” at Roosevelt Middle School is Rollicking Good Fun
WEST ORANGE, NJ - “Seussical Jr.,” this year’s Spring Musical at Roosevelt Middle School is a lot of rollicking good fun featuring top-notch performances, lighting, scenery, and costumes.
Tickets are still available at the door April 28 and 29, $10.00 for students/children and $12.00 for adults. Roosevelt Middle School is located at 36 Gilbert Place. Shows begin at 7:00 pm.
Adapted from the successful Broadway show, “Seussical Jr.” features Jojo Who and her adventures through imagination with The Cat in the Hat. Horton the Elephant and the inhabitants in the Jungle of Nool are brought to life as Horton tries to save a world of people on a tiny speck of dust, and perhaps fall in love along the way.
Roosevelt music teacher J. Patrick McLaughlin lovingly directed the musical with help from teacher Tracy Gordon, and the imaginative staging, dance and movement adds to the visual experience. West Orange High School technology teacher Max Grossman designed the sets, Lauren Grof-Tisza the lighting and Kirk Roberts the sound.
“Seussical Jr.” is a family-friendly entertainment bonanza that can be enjoyed by children of all ages.
