In this re-envisioned Seussical, a small boy with a big imagination wanders into a theatre where a troupe of actors create a show inspired by the Dr. Seuss books.
Blending favorite Seuss characters, the production embraces the simple magic of theatre in order to reveal the essential beauty of imagination.
Seussical features many stories: Horton is determined to save the Whos though he faces ridicule, bullying, and danger; Jojo, a unique and often misunderstood child, is sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks”; Gertrude McFuzz struggles with the pressure to conform to physical ideals before she discovers her own beauty, bravery, and heroism. The Cat in the Hat emerges as a narrator, instigator, and mentor as the players reveal Seussical’s true message – whether saving an entire world, or a single lonely individual, true magic comes from love, bravery, compassion, loyalty, and community. After all, “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”
Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once On This Island and Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, with a rich and dazzling score to create an almost entirely sung-through show that transforms the theatre into the Jungle of Nool, the Circus McGurkus, the invisible world of the Whos, and beyond.
