PITTSBURGH — Vincentian Academy is performing "Seussical" this year.

"I love 'Seussical.'  It's full of big dance numbers and exciting characters," said senior Kristyna Finikiotis, who is playing the Cat in the Hat.

Senior Emma Sciullo is also happy about the musical choice.

"It's energetic and colorful," she said.

Lauren Sarazen is the new musical director at Vincentian Academy.

"I love watching the show progress and collaborating with the staff and students.  It's wonderful to see the creativity come to life," said Sarazen, who comes to the school after choreographing North Hills' shows.

The students are enjoying working with Sarazen and each other.
