Seussical, the musical
by J. Pennington Productions (JP Studios)

Mar. 16 - Mar. 18 (2015)

Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Seussical brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
