Seussical

Show Description:

Seussical is a fantastical, magical musical extravaganza! Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (known for Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, and Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, the lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination—Jojo.

The story, narrated by the Cat in the Hat, follows Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a young Who child sent to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: protecting the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers while guarding an abandoned egg left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird.

Despite the ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and trial that Horton encounters, the determined Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the themes of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are tested and emerge triumphant.
