    It's so bizarre to see how much less imaginative this whole thing looks than any regional or school production I've seen. If this had a similarly cohesive visual direction to the Spongebob musical (e.g. making everything look handmade, immersing the adult audience into a child's imagination) I feel like critics would have been nicer to it.

      @ClownDuck 2 роки тому +5

      @Jonathan Pal oh no i completely agree. I don’t think they should use trash at all, I just mean that the amount of creativity seen in the Spongebob Musical should be seen as inspiration for props and set design. They have two different messages with the story- but the set design is creative and toony, which I believe that with more whimsy could inspire the set design for a hypothetical revival of Seussical

  • @randomness928
    @randomness928 3 роки тому +81

    From what I’ve been told, the main flaw of this production was how overblown it was. This show was written for a more intimate space, but when it was brought to broadway, they felt obligated to make a big production out of it, when all that ended up happening was the actors were stuck swimming in this unnecessarily large space and trying to fill the emptiness. Same thing happened with the revival of you’re a good man charlie brown.

    If this musical gets a revival, I would like to see some of the costumes look better. First, I think some of the costumes are fine the way they are like Cat in the Hat, Maisie LaBird, Jojo, the bird girls and the Wickershams. The costumes I think need to be fixed are General Shmitz: He’s a general, not a mailman! The mayor, the mayor’s wife and the whos: the costumes are not bad, the colours of the costumes are, why is their main colour scheme beige, white and yellow? Give the costumes more colour! Horton: GIVE. HIM. EARS! Gertrude McFuzz: the hair and dress needs fixing.

    the sour kangaroo: ..................................................................................................………………………………...................................................................................................................................................................................

    • @MichaelSar12IsBack
      @MichaelSar12IsBack 17 днів тому

      Apparently the original costume designer had more book-accurate costumes, but the show's producers didn't want that. However, I feel that they went too far in the opposite direction with the costumes we got. I think they could've found a good balance between not being mascot-like but still looking more like the characters than this.
      The Sour Kangaroo in particular looks awful.

    I'm guessing this was the original production that flopped, but was soon reworked and rewritten slightly to send it straight to the top. I have the soundtrack of this version on CD and have just bought the second version's soundtrack. There is a difference that can be seen, but both share the same problem: none of them have a part in them for our own Daisy-Head, Mayzie McGrew.
