WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
TheatreworksUSA presents a new production of the young audience version of the Broadway musical Seussical, written by Lynn Ahrens (lyrics and book) and Stephen Flaherty (music and book). Marcia Milgrom directs and choreographs.

Each day, a limited number of free tickets will be made available to individuals at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on a first-come, first-served
basis. Distribution will begin one hour prior to each performance, with a limit of four (4) tickets per person.
ABSOLUTELY NO BABIES IN ARMS OR CHILDREN IN STROLLERS WILL BE ADMITTED.
