SEUSSICAL Rosie O'Donnell 

It's like Marie Osmond in The Sound of Music or Reba as Annie Oakley.

​@gregorykeithmorris3970 I disagree. I think Rosie made it seem like The Cat was a grumpy old cat who could silly with no expressions. I saw especially at the end of Oh The Thinks you Can Think with that pose she did. She's kinda like the original 1980s Chuck E Cheese now that I think about it. And also she didn't even have the right range for the songs.

@@Nerdy_Chuck_E I agree with this!! Also, it’s kind of obvious with this show closing on Broadway why they’d cast her. She constantly promoted Seussical on her show. It’s a shame that they were casting celebrities who lacked ability for the character, especially Cat in the Hat!!

I think she made a good Cat in the Hat

Hearing the audience go nuts during "The Day with The Cat in the Hat" made me remember how much I miss live theater.

Very well said, thank you.

She also did Grease in the 90s and is apparently set to play Mrs Brice in the long-awaited Funny Girl revival on Broadway.

Her and Megan Mullally were in Grease in the 90s

Now it’s James Cordon that’s the broadway guy which is less than loved

Exactly. That's pretty much what the audience expected and she did not disappoint.

Saaame

You're entirely welcome, and glad you enjoyed. "Seussical" was a thoroughly professional effort, and Ahrens and Flaherty do quality work. Not sure there was ever a way to make the concept of this show fully work, but it did not deserve the complete dismissals it received in some quarters.

@@auroraspiderwoman5886 Agreed! The score is incredibly underrated, and there are many clever lyrics. The style is a format I've always enjoyed... the delicate balance of recognizing and enjoying the actors, but also having to look beyond them to let your imagination take over. Unfortunately, that's not something many critics are able to do, resulting in unfair dismissals. As evidenced here, this must have been an absolute marathon of a performance to physically undertake every night. It deserved a better reception!

She filled in during David Shiner’s vacation: Jan 16, 2001 - Feb 10, 2001.

It was also to increase ticket sales since the show was never a hit during its short run.

I wish I was born 😭😭😭

Funny and silly is a good description--glad you enjoyed.

I would pay the BIG BUCKS for that

I don't wanna be told to grow up

The former.

They changed it for seussical jr

Very much so!

100% yes!

I am totally in agreement with you on this! Wish I was able to see this.

@Josh Bennett Although ultimately not, as the show has had a long post-Broadway life.

@@auroraspiderwoman5886 ya i do agree with that. my local community theatre has produced it twice.
