About the show
“Oh, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’ best-loved characters collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper! Book By Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty, Music By Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics By Lynn Ahrens, Based on the Works of Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) / Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
Majestic’s production stars children and teens of The Majestic Academy of Dramatic Arts under the Direction of Becky Rush, Musical Direction by Emily Benjamin and Choreography by Becca Antonakos-Belanger.
