THEATRE EXPERIENCE: I have only recently returned to the world of community theatre playing the lead Ida in Honk at Pheonix Theatre in 2017 and Mama Bear in Shrek at MANPAC in 2018 BEST THING ABOUT REHEARSALS? I love how the cast and crew have become a family very early on in rehearsals and I also love coming to rehearsals with my daughter - our first show together. WHATS THE CAST AND CREW LIKE? The cast is varied in age and probably the friendliest and most welcoming cast/crew I have ever been apart of. WHICH DR SEUSS CHARACTER ARE YOU MOST LIKE? WHY? I think there's a little bit of every Seuss character in my personality but particularly I identify with the mischievous and fun side to the Cat in the Hat that likes to cause a little trouble but helps put things right again!! FAVOURITE SONG FROM SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL? WHY? I definitely love Notice Me Horton. I love how fragile and vulnerable Gertrude McFuzz is in this number and how she shows her strength and courage in not giving up. FAVOURITE SONG FROM A MUSICAL? WHY? A difficult one to narrow down - at the moment I'd say She Used to Be Mine from the Waitress. I'm a sucker for songs showing vulnerability and fragility. I really relate to the way your journey in life can change in an instant and how you have to find the courage to stay strong and understand your character's strength and weaknesses in moving forward. I'm also a bit obsessed with any song from Hamilton at the moment! BEST MEMORY OF THE SHOW SO FAR? My best memory so far would be meeting everyone at the very first rehearsal and understanding the importance of each cast member in the go in the machine activity. https://sa2.seatadvisor.com/sabo/servlets/TicketRequest

10.01.2022 Now its time to meet Mishka Miller ... YOUR CHARACTER / ROLE IN THE SHOW: Thing 2 DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER: The Things are crazy and lovable (most of the time) and enjoy causing chaos. THEATRE EXPERIENCE: My first show was in 2008 with a school production of Circus Splendida but since leaving school I've been involved in many different shows as part of the ensemble, minor leads and tech crew. I have also been involved with every Laughing Horse show since 2016 in some way or another. BEST THING ABOUT REHEARSALS? The best thing about rehearsals is seeing the show go from nothing to seeing it slowly come to life WHATS THE CAST AND CREW LIKE? The cast and crew are amazing! Really funny and easy to talk to. WHICH DR SEUSS CHARACTER ARE YOU MOST LIKE? WHY? I think I'm a mix between Horton believing in myself and going for what I believe in although sometimes I dont and Cindy-Lou Who because I want to believe that there is good in everything and everyone even though sometimes you can lose faith and get a bit lost. FAVOURITE SONG FROM SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL? WHY? Alone in the Universe is by far my favourite song from Seussical it's just so beautiful! Closely followed by Solla Sollew. FAVOURITE SONG FROM A MUSICAL? WHY? Thats a tough question but I think it would have to be a tossup between Wait for It from Hamilton and Wait for me reprise from Hadestown. They are both such powerful songs! If you haven't heard them I highly suggest them. BEST MEMORY OF THE SHOW SO FAR? That would have to be when we did the first run-through of Act 1 and seeing everyone come to life in their characters. https://sa2.seatadvisor.com/sabo/servlets/TicketRequest

YOUR CHARACTER / ROLE IN THE SHOW: The Whos & Cadets DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER: The Who character is very weird because we have to walk strangely and have a beautiful city and town, but no one is happy. The Cadet character is also very different marching around the stage and the dances are very quick and the format is rigid just like an army cadet. THEATRE EXPERIENCE: I have been involved with musical theatre for about 3 years but have enjoyed being on stage since I was about 4 years old.

02.01.2022 Next up from the cast of Seussical is: Klara Kuhn ... YOUR CHARACTER / ROLE IN THE SHOW: Ensemble DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER: I am a background character in the show THEATRE EXPERIENCE: School assemblies and musical productions BEST THING ABOUT REHEARSALS? I like rehearsing the numbers on stage with the singing and dancing at the same time. WHATS THE CAST AND CREW LIKE? They are all kind and inviting. They are always happy and fun to be around WHICH DR SEUSS CHARACTER ARE YOU MOST LIKE? WHY? I think it depends what setting I am in and if I am people I know well or not. At school I am probably a Maisie, because I am very loud and attention seeking. At home I am more a Horton, because I am more reserved and different from my family. When I and with my very very close friends, I am probably a Wickersham Brother because I am annoying and irritating, but only because I know they will accept me that way and when I am with people I dont or barely know, I am a Gertrude, because I am quite shy. FAVOURITE SONG FROM SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL? WHY? I like Solla Sollew because it is probably the only slow and flowy song from the whole arrangement and it is just nice and a change from the other upbeat songs FAVOURITE SONG FROM A MUSICAL? WHY?

I'm also involved with the specialist music program at kshs and the Roleystone musicians club. BEST THING ABOUT REHEARSALS? Getting to meet new and interesting people and learning more about the musical process. WHATS THE CAST AND CREW LIKE? The cast and crew, in a way, are as fun and colourful as the characters we're playing. While not a fish or a creature in the Jungle of Nool, the same creative energy radiates from every member of the cast and Crew. WHICH DR SEUSS CHARACTER ARE YOU MOST LIKE? WHY? I would say that I'm a bit like Jojo. I'm a thinker, and I often think just a little bit too much. FAVOURITE SONG FROM SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL? WHY? Biggest Blame Fool is probably my favourite song from the musical. It's the perfect song for dancing around the house too and let's be honest I don't do much else. FAVOURITE SONG FROM A MUSICAL? WHY? The room where it happens from Hamilton. In the same way, it's another good song for dancing to, and with the release of Hamilton on Disney plus I've been listening to a little too much of it. BEST MEMORY OF THE SHOW SO FAR? My best memory of the show so far was probably the first day, when I was quite nervous, to say the least. I still remember how I felt upon discovering just how nice and accepting the Cast and Crew were, and this feeling has stuck with me throughout the show. https://sa2.seatadvisor.com/sabo/servlets/TicketRequest
