 The Bemidji High School Theater program is bringing the classic tales from a beloved child author to life with their latest production. Reporter Cheryl Moore has a preview of Zoussacal, the musical for This Week's Golden Apple. The Bemidji High School Theater is bringing audiences into the worlds of Whoville and the jungle of Newell. They've been rehearsing for Zoussacal, the musical for the past three months. Zoussacal is basically just a really great show for the whole family. Definitely. It's very exciting. It has all the classic Dr. Seuss characters and it's just all about imagination. The story features references from more than 15 Dr. Seuss books. I really like the conflict between Horton and then all the other rest of the people, like he's in his own little world and everyone else is trying to destroy that world, so it's interesting. There are over 100 students involved in the production, from tech roles to a live student orchestra. The cast is made up of both newcomers and seasoned showbiz vets. We've got 43 students on stage and this is a piece that has a lot of roles, so it's an ensemble piece that gives us an opportunity to develop a whole bunch of students. For some cast members, it wasn't hard to find material to prepare for their role. I watched, read and and studied Dr. Seuss for two months before the show in preparation to make sure that I could do Dr. Seuss's creations justice because he was someone who inspired my childhood. Seussical the musical will premiere at VHS exactly one week from today. You can find a link to tickets and a full list of dates online with this story. This is a show that's going to be great whether you're, you know, two or a hundred and two, it won't matter. There's something for everyone because the stories are great, the music is exciting, it's music from top to bottom. Reporting in Bemidji with this week's Golden Apple, Shremor, Lakeland News.
