Seussical

The Cat in the Hat leads your favourite Dr. Seuss characters from the page to the stage, to sing and dance through these treasured tales! At the heart of the story is the endearing Horton the Elephant. Everyone in the jungle of Nool thinks Horton is a fool for believing he can hear calls for help from the microscopic planet of Who. But Horton ignores the scorn of his fellow jungle citizens. Although he can’t see the Whos, he can hear them and he refuses to ignore their cry for help. After all – “a person’s a person no matter how small”. This wonderful new (shortened) version of the Broadway musical tells the enchanting story of true friendship, loyalty and perseverance.

The themes presented in Seussical (kindness, acceptance, self-esteem, the value of imagination, human rights, and faithfulness) are simple enough to be understood by children, yet universal enough to touch the hearts of even the most Grinch-like adults. There is a profound importance to lyrics such as “a person’s a person, no matter how small” and the plight of the planet of Who has an eerie timeliness: “Here on Who we live in fear/We’re drifting through space and cannot steer/A troubled and a tiny land/Our future’s in your hand.”
