SEUSSICAL!

Seussical is a fantastical musical production for all ages that brings to life all 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.

In Seussical, The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks”. While trying to protect the Whos, Horton agrees to guard an abandoned egg left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie. Despite ridicule, danger and a kidnapping, Horton remains true and, with the ever-loyal Gertrude by his side, shows us the power of perseverance, friendship, family and loyalty.

With beloved Seuss characters, memorable vocal numbers, elaborate sets, and a cast of 70 talented Bay Area performers, Seussical is fun for the whole family!
