"Oh the thinks you can think,
Think and wonder and dream
Far and wide as you dare/
When your thinks have run dry,
in the blink of an eye
there's another think there!"
Thinking back on my memories seeing the original cast of Seussical 20 years ago. The musical was unsuccessful, but seeing it was one of my happiest theater memories ever. And the opening number is still one of my favorite openers of all time.
I decided pretty quickly to not try and imitate the Seuss drawing style. It's much more honest (and less stressful) to draw it in my own style with a few vaguely Seussian touches and hope they blend.
So I drew the Cat, who serves as the show's narrator, conjuring up the Seussian characters with a snap of his fingers - Horton, Jojo, Mayzie, Gertrude McFuzz, the Sour Kangaroo, the Wickersham Brothers, the Mayor of Whoville and his Wife, and General Genghis Khan Schmitz. Things 1 and 2 weren't actually featured in the original show as I recall, but I have seen local and school productions since then that included them as the Cat's silent helpers.

A bunch of us are going to screen share Seuss's The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T Thursday night. I that movie! IMHO it's better than any of the live-action or animated features based on his work since he left us - with the exception (again IMHO) of the CGI version of The Grinch which actually made him sympathetic as opposed to downright "evil" without losing his edge.
I love it myself - would you believe the first time I saw it was in my grade school music class? I even have the soundtrack on CD.
From what I've read from various Seuss bios (and one bio of Hans Conried) there were a lot of twisted details that never made it into the movie - like Dr. T commanding an army of headless zombies.

I just re-read the Wikipedia article on the film...first I've heard about the zombies though. Forget where I read it, but the spooky figures chasing Bart with butterfly nets that begins the film was supposed to take place later on as Bart explores Dr. T's fortress.
The last time I saw it with an audience was at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art(!) where they were screening it for high school or college kids. (I wish I could remember why they ran it; I think it was paired with an exhibit or an event or something.)
Does your soundtrack have the songs that were never used in the film, or the verse left out of the dungeon song? I used to have an LP contaiing all that stuff but I lost track of it years ago.

Yes it does! Not the extended dungeon song, though - that's on Youtube, but God knows how anyone got hold of it.
I do love Zabladowski's little song about money though - "It makes man's temperature rise higher than a steeple/ More people marry dollar bills than people marry people!"
