“Seussical” is a musical theatre work by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty based on the books of Dr. Seuss that debuted on Broadway in 2000. The musical travels through the lives of Dr. Seuss characters. The Cat in the Hat acts as the host in this romp through the classics. Horton, Who and Miss Gertude McFuzz are among the recognizable characters seen throughout the show. They find themselves intertwined in a crazy-quilt adventure and must save the day using the power of imagination. “Seussical” is an interactive performance that is great for the whole family.
