Wednesday 24 October 2007—Saturday 27 October 2007
This fairly new musical is based on the works of Dr. Seuss. It weaves together his most famous tales incorporating his best-loved and most familiar characters, such as The Cat In The Hat, Jojo, Horton The Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird, Sour Kangaroo and the Whos of Whoville. The musical incorporates elements from at least 15 of the Dr. Seuss books and many of the characters have never met one another before, but they meet in this musical and in the course of the evening some will fall in love, some will have desperate adventures and some will save the world as they travel everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool to Palm Beach.
Dr. Seuss believes in helping a friend, in not giving up, in keeping a promise. He believes in the value and dignity of others, in working to preserve the fragile sweetness of the natural world and he believes that peace is the ultimate ideal, among nations and in every heart. He also believes in the pure power of the imagination. You will find all these serious concerns at the heart of “Seussical.”
