Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a host of favorite Dr Seuss characters are brought to life in Seussical. Filled with the spirit of imagination, this colorful show transports us from the Jungle of Nool, to the Circus McGurkus, to the invisible world of the Whos.

The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge — not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, and is the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart." The powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged, but ultimately emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.

Written by Tony award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Once On This Island, Ragtime), this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza is, for good reason, one of the most performed shows in America.
