This is a musical based on the works of Dr. Seuss, but it isn’t just a string of his stories set to music. And it isn’t one of his stories. It’s a totally new, full-length book musical, with a story which weaves together his most famous tales and characters in new and unexpected ways.  “Seussical” incorporates elements from at least 15 of his books, as well as many of his best-loved and most familiar characters.  Many of these characters never met one another before, but they meet in our musical. In the course of the evening, some will fall in love, some will have desperate adventures, and some will save the world.  And they’ll all travel from the Jungle of Nool to McElligot’s Pool to Palm Beach.
Dr. Seuss believes in helping a friend, in not giving up, and 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”.
