"Seussical the Musical"
Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Book by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty
Date: 3rd - 5th July 2007
Venue: Memorial Hall
Seussical is based on the works of the beloved children's author Theodore Geisel, known to the world as Dr. Seuss. The overarching plot of the show mirrors that of Horton Hears a Who!, centering on Horton the elephant's endeavors to protect the people of Who-ville, who live on a tiny speck of dust. It also features characters and scenarios from many other Seuss books, including the Butter Side Uppers / Downers from The Butter Battle Book, Gertrude McFuzz from Gertrude McFuzz, and some characters that never made an appearance in any of Dr. Seuss's books. The Cat in the Hat, an outside observer, acts as narrator and devil's advocate throughout the show, briefly leaping into the action on several occasions to create conflict and keep the story moving.
