Seussical JR (actors ages 7 to 18) is a family friendly, 60-minute musical with terrific songs and a witty script that takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss. One of the most frequently performed shows by children’s theater today, everyone who has participated in the show from elementary school to high school says it was a blast! Join us in revisiting beloved characters including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and JoJo. The Cat in the Hat guides us into The Jungle of Nool where we see Horton, the kind-hearted elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whoville. He meets JoJo, a Who child reprimanded for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton decides he must protect the speck of dust on a nearby clover, while at the same time protecting an abandoned egg left to his care by the lazy Mayzie LaBird. Horton tries to convince the other animals in The Jungle of the existence of the Whos, but he is ridiculed and put on trial for insanity. Only his loyal neighbor, the shy bird Gertrude McFuzz, never loses faith in him. Seussical JR weaves a story of friendship, loyalty, and love. Despite all odds, Horton and Gertrude band together to save the Whos, free Horton, and restore peace and unity to the Jungle of Nool. Seussical JR teaches us the power of being unique, the strength of friendship and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.
