Seussical the Musical, KIDS at Union County Performing Arts Center Hamilton Stage

Based on the stories of Dr. Seuss, Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and all of your favorite characters spring to life onstage in a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty ("Lucky Stiff," "My Favorite Year," "Once On This Island," and "Ragtime"). The Cats in the Hats, our narrators, tell the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who gets in trouble for thinking too many "thinks." Horton's challenge is twofold--not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but 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, kidnapping, 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. A 30-min musical perfect for families.
