As SEUSSICAL returns to the Arts Theatre this Christmas, Sell a Door Theatre Company is delighted to announce the new creative team for the 2013 revival of the toe-tapping and finger snapping, Cat in the Hat musical.
With music and lyrics from Tony Award Winners Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, Sell a Door Producers David Hutchinson and Phillip Rowntree are ecstatic to bring Seussical back to London's West End. Director Kirk Jameson shall take the reins this year, following the success of his recent production at London's Union Theatre, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Kirk is thrilled to be working with Sell a Door Theatre Company on Seussical this autumn. "Seussical boasts a score by one of Broadway's most brilliant writing teams and as a huge fan of both them and Dr Seuss, I cannot wait to share this beautiful musical with audiences this Christmas."
Kirk shall be joined by Musical Director George Bryan: "The genius of Dr. Seuss lies is in his simplicity. He is able to capture and communicate, without sentimentality, the complexity and beauty of the human condition." Alongside the numerous acting credits he has under belt, George is also an accomplished musician, having composed the score for a new stage version of Ibsen's Peer Gynt for Theatre Collection.
Sell a Door's Associate Designer Richard Evans returns to the creative team this year. Having designed numerous times for national tours, repertory theatre and stand-alone productions, Richard says he is "looking forward to re-connecting with the piece and exploring new avenues that were unavailable last year." A team of Assistant Designers including Natasha Dilworth, Sorcha Corcoran and Isabella Van Braeckel join him.
Details of the cast to be announced shortly.
