Seussical "Previews!"

On Tuesday, Horton, Gertrude McFuzz, Sour Kangaroo, and I- Mayzie la Bird- performed at the 6th grade orientation for our school! We sang songs (Biggest Blame Fool: Sour Kangaroo, All; Alone in the Universe: Horton; Notice Me, Horton: Gertrude McFuzz, Horton; How Lucky You Are: Mayzie la Bird; Mayzie at the Circus: Mayzie la Bird; and Amayzing Horton: Mayzie la Bird, Horton!) from the show and threw on random costumes and stuck some fake plants here and there to set the scene!

The rising 6th graders would go from class to class to learn about the cirriculum and in between "classes" we were in the hall performing for them! It was so fun! I can't wait till May, the actual show!

Anyway, here are some pictures of our last-minute costumes.

Toodles!

P.S. This post will be edited soon about the costumes, so check back!

"Anything Goes" Review

This is a review from The Broadway Critic Blog, written by Spencer Williams. I love Sutton Foster, so I decided to post this! But be sure you know I do not own this. I did not write this.

"Anything Goes, Roundabout Theatre Company’s newest revival, is absolutely de-lovely.

It’s delightful.

It’s delicious in every respect.

Not only is it one of the best revivals I have seen in recent years, it’s one of the best shows that I’ve seen on Broadway in a long time. While other Broadway shows are trying to push the envelope, Anything Goes ends up being good-ole fashioned musical theatre fun. It doesn’t need to be technically over-produced like Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark, or pushing the limits on subject matter like in Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s musical, The Book of Mormon because Anything Goes is a classic....

Now to talk about the formidable Sutton Foster. Let’s just say this: if she doesn’t win the Tony Award for this portrayal of Reno Sweeney, I’m going to be flabbergasted. She sings it better than I’ve ever heard before (her belting was sublime), dances it with ease and finds nuance in the script that no one ever knew was there. As Lord Oakleigh would say, “She is the dog’s pajamas.” She is one of the few actors on the Broadway stage that is a true triple threat. She is a becoming a true Broadway legend....."

P.S. Again, I did NOT write any of this. This is all the work of Spencer Williams, from The Broadway Critic Blog.

you're never fully dressed without a smile!

Don't you just love how horses are so photogenic?

Toodli-doodli-doodles!

amayzing mayzie! (part 2)

Mayzie la Bird from "Seussical"

Mayzie la Bird is all about glitz, glam, and boy birds. She loves the frills and effortlessly looks perfect all the time, what with her bushy beautiful tail and all. Mayzie is a girly self-centered girl bird who loves the spotlight, being the center of attention, beaches, and having fun with some boy birds. "Toodles" is her favorite word.

Actually, she is very successful in being the center of attention. She is popular and even has a few Mayzie Fan Clubs!

Behind all the glitter, though, is a timid girl bird with almost the shyness equivalent of that weirdo Gertrude McFuzz. So many years back, Mayzie la Bird fixed herself up and headed over to Doctor Dake, where she got a huge tail and a whole lot of confidence.

Ever since then Mayzie la Bird was known as "amayzing." If she hadn't once been the dork on the block, she would not have felt sorry for Gertrude and told her the secret to a fabulous tail.

Gertrude didn't look so amayzing with her big tail though. Mayzie then decided to let it go, because it only mattered if she was beautiful. Which she was. The whole giant-tail thing worked so much better on flamboyant Mayzie la Bird than on nerdy Gertrude McFuzz.

Oh! Another thing... Mayzie is very very very dramatic at times. She also belts to her heart's content. Those must be mentioned.

Toodli-ooooooooo!

P.S. "Toodli-oooooooo!" is Mayzie's favorite word!

P.P.S. Pic found on Naples News!

amayzing mayzie!

Hey everyone! I don't have much time, so I'll get right to the point. In Seussical, I will be playing Mayzie la Bird! I couldn't have asked for a part that fits me more (She says toodles, she is confident, belty, out there, and very dramatic!), although I hadn't thought about it before! Here's some pictures of her extravagant costume...

I'm super excited and I will post more about her later!

Toodli-oooooooo!!

P.S. "Toodi-ooooo" is the way Mayzie says it! :)
