FROM
SUMMER 2005
WARREN, MI-- The
Macomb Daily have teamed up with the Warren
Civic Theatre to bring the many characters and lands
of Dr. Suess to life the first two weekends of August.
In SUESSICAL -THE MUSICAL, audiences
will revel in such timeless Suess characters as
the Cat In The Hat, Horton The Elephant, Mayzie
the Bird, Yertle The Turtle, The Grinch, his dog
Max, the rascally Wickersham Brothers and yes, even
the Who's and their whole tiny Who town.
Creatures from The Jungle Of Nool,
McElligot's pool and the Sour Kangaroo also make
their voices heard throughout the show.
A program of Warren Parks and Recreation,
the show features a cast of over 150 professional
and student theatre artists and showcases residents
from across the metro area. The show features an
orchestra consisting of selected members of the
Warren Symphony and Warren Concert bands.
The
show interweaves several of the more famous Dr.
Suess books, but the storyline generally follows
"Horton Hears a Who" and "The Butter
Battle Book". The show was recently on Broadway
with actress Rosie O'Donnell portraying the Cat.

Theatre's version is Jerome Porkorney of Warren.
