Seussical KIDS Communications
Day 3 was a SMASH!
I donβt know how we did it but by 12:30pm today we had our whole show blocked!
Your kids got two full run throughs with props in it. We are so stinking proud of them!
Also their Headshots and Cast photos turned out super cute! We will get them to you after Friday.
Tomorrow will be a big day again for them but in a different way.
They will NOT be allowed to use their scripts during run throughs and will not have guide vocal tracks. That being said, it is imperative that they run through lines, blocking, choreography, songs, and quick changes tonight. Weβd suggest at least 30 to 60mins of practice. Again practice material is here www.lochwood.info/seussicalkids
Reminder if they have quick changes they need to wear their black bases as we donβt have a private dressing room. So have them practice with their black base, adding and taking off their costume pieces.
What to bring tomorrow :
Costume
Lunch
Good vibes
A plastic trash bag or grocery bag that we can put their costume and props in to take to the performance location Friday morning.
Hair and Make up for Friday
Who, Fish, Jungle Citizen Girls - They should have light show make up on and a cute Hairstyle that keeps their hair out of their face.
Boys can put mascara on to enhance their eyes as most male performers do. Itβs not required though, as we know that can be an uncomfortable for them. If they want to wear hair gel and style their hair they can.
Mayzie-a cute half up hair style or super high pony. Full blown show make up, bright red or pink lipstick
Gertrude-funky light show make up. High pig tails
Sour Kangaroo and Young Kangaroo-Space buns and light show make up. Drawn on black nose and black whiskers
Wickersham girls - 2 French braids or normal braids and light show make up
Horton -Light show make up(no lip stick)
Cat -Light show make up drawn on black nose and whiskers, braids in low pig tails
Mrs Mayor - light show make up and red lipstick bright blush on tip of nose and cheeks to give Classic WHO look
Mr. mayor - bright blush on cheeks and nose to give Classic WHO look
JoJo- bright blush on cheeks and nose to give Classic WHO look
-Again if any questions please text or email us.
Thank you,

Wednesday will be our most challenging day. We have hopes to finish blocking the whole show tomorrow. With that being said make sure your child eats a big nutritious breakfast and avoid packing any candy or items that will give them a sugar crash, as we want them to be able to keep their energy up.
