REVIEWS
Traveling Seussical Proves Smaller is Better…”This production has a cast well-suited
to relaying those messages, led—truly led—by 10 year old Gene Biscontini as JoJo. He has an ease and confidence on stage beyond
his years.”
-Lexington Herald-Leader
Rich Copley
Seussical is Whimsical Musical..."Peter Roman's bright
voice and lithe, athletic dancing bring the Cat in the Hat to life on stage. Randall Frizado is perfectly cast as the lovable
Horton,....Gene Biscontini keeps up with both of them as the young lad who becomes JoJo,...."
-Deseret Morning News
Ivan M. Lincoln
Seussical is Full of Heart..."...fine child actor (Gene Biscontini) who played JoJo--the
boy whose "thinks" instigate the actions of the show. Biscontini never lost his poise, even though he had to put up with erratic
amplification and a follow spotlight that didn't."
-The Salt Lake Tribune
Celia R. Baker
Seussical is Imaginative,
entertaining storytelling..."Biscontini was clearly chosen to play JoJo because of his amazing singing voice..."
-Reno-Gazette
Journal
Forrest Hartman
Seussical the Musical..."The blond-mopped Master Biscontini is a completed assured
JoJo, a seasoned trouper at ten and very likeable on stage."
