About the Show
Seussical was written by the same creative team that wrote Ragtime: The Musical and Once on This Island and includes a story that uses a host of Seuss characters and a outstanding musical score.
The Cat in the Hat narrates the story and appears randomly throughout the play to make humorous comments to the audience.
The story begins with Horton the Elephant who one day hears the call for help from a bunch of tiny, microscopic Whos living on top of a small speck of dust. Horton saves them and vows to protect them, but that turns out to be difficult as the Beasts in the Jungle of Nool feel that Horton is foolish for believing in the invisible Whos, so the Beasts try put an end to the Whos.
Meanwhile, the Whos have a host of other very “human” problems to deal with from environmental disasters to wars based on people who just simply THINK way too much. These colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo, a young Who boy and “thinker of strange and wonderful thinks”!
Combining elements from at least fourteen of Dr. Seuss’s classics, Seussical is filled with familiar rhymes and amazing melodies. The score emerges as a gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R&B to funk.
MCT’s Seussical performances will be at the Mountlake Terrace High School Theater on Thursday March 20th, Friday March 21st, and two performances on Saturday March 22nd.
