Great article!

I was at the WATCH awards and it was such a BLAST.

Just wanted to remind you of what the props were for ‘Seussical’:

Everything visually about the show was taken straight from the Dr. Seuss books. Which made it a lot of fun. It’s almost a compliment that you can’t remember the props, because they blended in so well with the set as being virtually “authentic” Dr. Seuss illustrations.

Props included were the fish in Mcgulligan’s pool, the instruments in Who-Ville, the hunters’ guns in the shape of elephant trunks, the egg at the end that actually hatched an elephant bird, the dustspeck carrying Who-Ville, , bandages of all kinds for when the Who’s had a rough landing, the TV screen brought out during ‘Biggest Blame Fool’ and microphone for interviews with the jungle creatures, the book on “How to Raise a Child,” all the poles and flags for the child military, the tail on Gertrude that kept growing, the hot steaming of beezlenut oil, and that’s not even beginning to include all the props the Cat himself used numerous props everytime he was onstage.

Whew! It was fun remembering that again! It was true what Joe Stine and John Merritt were saying about the numerous pages of props listed for this show.

It’s great that it really must have blended in so well. We’d like to think that we did Dr. Seuss proud.
