"After all those years being stuck on a page,
Did you ever imagine you’d see me onstage?
Now I’m here, there is no telling what may ensue!
No, there’s no telling what!
But I’ll give you a clue..."
So says the mischievous Cat in the Hat at the onset of this fantastical, magical, musical
extravaganza! Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once On This
Island, and Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters,
including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all of the Whos of Whoville!
These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo, a young boy and
"thinker of strange and wonderful thinks"! As each story unfolds you will marvel at how
relevant and profound Seuss’s subtle themes are; making this musical one that appeals to all ages.
The score emerges as a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing
to gospel, and R&B to funk! So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and your imagination run wild,
for "If you open your mind, Oh, the thinks you will find lining up to get loose! Oh, the thinks
you can think when you think about Seuss!"
Music Theatre of Denton opens its 21st season with Seussical. Performances are
scheduled for October 21 through 30th.
