WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Anything's possible?even a musical based on your favorite Dr. Seuss stories! When chaos erupts in the Jungle of Nool, it takes The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz and a gaggle of other characters to bring harmony back to their world. The Tony Award-winning team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime) wrote the book and the score for Seussical the Musical. They conceived the project with the assistance of Monty Python's Eric Idle. Frank Galati directs and Kathleen Marshall choreographs this contemporary re-imagining of Dr. Seuss which weaves together many of his most famous stories and characters in unexpected ways. Cathy Rigby, Kevin Chamberlin, Janine LaManna, and Michele Pawk lead the cast which brings the world of Dr. Seuss off the page and onto the stage.
Cathy Rigby heads the cast as the chaotic and lovable lead cat.
