Although it is the school holidays, the majority of cast members who are school students are putting all their energy into fine tuning their vocals and dance routines.

“Everyone is working very hard and it is such a vibrant and colourful show,” director Emily Carroll said.

Ms Carroll said the musical has wide appeal, even for parents or grandparents who want to take children to the show.

“All the favourite characters from Cat in the Hat are there on stage in one fantastic experience,” she said.

You can meet Dr Seuss and friends on stage when the musical opens at Orange Civic Theatre on October 17 and runs until October 25.

There are a variety of day and night performances from which to choose.

The production is being staged by Orange Theatre Company.
