A musical perfect for the whole family, Seussical takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and JoJo. The Cat in the Hat guides us into The Jungle of Nool where we see Horton, the kind hearted elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whoville. He meets JoJo, a Who child sent to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton decides he must protect the speck of dust on a nearby clover, while at the same time protecting an abandoned egg left to his care by the lazy Mayzie la Bird. Horton tries to convince the other animals in The Jungle of the existence of the Whos, but he is ridiculed and put on trial for insanity. Only his loyal neighbor, Gertrude McFuzz, never loses faith in him. Eventually, the two fall in love. Now one of the most widely produced musicals in the country, Seussical weaves a story of friendship, loyalty, and love. Despite all odds, Horton and Gertrude band together to save the Whos, free Horton, and restore peace and unity to the Jungle of Nool. Charming Seussical teaches us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.

Simple and naïve Frederick, nicknamed “Dumbkopf” by his two older brothers, convinces Papa to let him go into the forest to cut wood. His brothers had already tried, but they both had peculiar accidents that left them injured after refusing to share their rations with a mysterious Old Woman. But the kind-hearted Dumbkopf doesn’t hesitate to share his meager food supply with the Old Woman. To reward him, the Old Woman helps him find the magical Golden Goose. As Dumbkopf leaves the forest with the enchanted bird, he hilariously encounters a variety of townspeople who all become stuck fast to each other when they reach out to touch it. You can just imagine the sight of Dumbkopf carrying the mystical goose with a human chain attached! No wonder this uproarious parade makes the princess of the kingdom laugh for the first time in her life! The king and queen had desperately been trying to put a smile on their princess’s face, bringing in clowns, comics …  anything to bring out a chuckle.
