Seussical

This is an enticing musical based on the works of Dr. Seuss. But it isn’t just a setting of his stories to music, and it isn’t just one of his stories, it is a full-length book musical with a story which weaves together his most famous tales and characters in unexpected ways. The Seuss lexicon includes hundred upon hundreds of wondrous characters, creatures, places and things. “Seussical” incorporates elements from at least 15 of his books, as well as many of his best-loved and most familiar characters. Many of these characters never met one another before. But they meet in this musical. And in the course of the story, some will fall in love, some will have desperate adventures and some will save the world. And they will all travel everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool to Palm Beach. Dr Seuss always believed in helping a friend, in not giving up, in keeping a promise. His stories showed the value and dignity of others, in working to preserve the fragile sweetness of the natural world, and that peace is the ultimate ideal among nations and in every heart. Most of all, he showed us all the pure power of the imagination. All these serious concerns are found at the heart of “Seussical”.
