SEUSSICAL: THE MUSICAL to Make Kelsey Theatre Debut With Theater to Go
Ruth Markoe produces and Haley Schmalbach directs the West Windsor production.
Theater to Go will present "Seussical: The Musical" at the Kelsey Theatre on the West Windsor Campus of Mercer County Community College, June 5-14.
In "Seussical," the Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, a kind, compassionate elephant 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." Horton faces a double challenge when he protects the Whos while caring for an abandoned egg, left in his care by Mayzie La Bird.
Even as Horton navigates a series of obstacles, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community emerge triumphant.
Following performances on Broadway, Off Broadway, U.S. national tours, and London's West End, "Seussical" is now one of the most performed shows in America and is making its Kelsey Theater debut. Weaving together treasured Dr. Seuss stories into a fun, touching tale about friendship, loyalty, and believing in yourself, the production is perfect for families and audiences of all ages.
The cast of "Seussical" features Erin Looney, Lorena Buena-Looney, Patrick O'Leary, Lucinda Fisher, Sydney Broitman, Jaylen Stanley, A'Maziin Williams, Sean Gavin, Alex Search, Anthony Wurtz, Brian Wurtz, Roman Sohor, Jenny Weiner, Hannah Barudin, Kacey Cavalieri, Aubrey Malakoff, Juliana Davies, Ethan Shaev, Jessica Braynor, Carson Graham, Brandon Brumet, Reba Holley, Kennedy McMillan, Aadya Mehndiratta, Ariana Nunez, Chris Schmalbach, James Zimmerman, Evelyn Braynor, Leanna Collins, Alisha Mehndiratta, Rafaella Mousa, Charlotte Rasmussen, and Melody Weiner.
