Keegan Reveals Cast and Team of SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL

The Keegan Theatre has announced the cast and creative team of the upcoming mainstage production SEUSSICAL: THE MUSICAL, by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Co-produced by Keegan PLAY-RAH-KA, Keegan’s brand for young people and families, the musical plays on the mainstage at Keegan June 17-July 22, 2023.

"We are so excited to be Co-Directing and Choreographing SEUSSICAL together at Keegan,” remark Kurt Boehm and Ashleigh King, “and it’s been a joy to work with each of the wonderful artists in our cast. Their energy and willingness to make wacky choices and breathe life into these bold characters is infectious. The joyful community they are forming is incredible, and we can't wait for audiences (young and old alike!) to witness it on Church Street."

About the musical: A fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza for all ages, SEUSSICAL: THE MUSICAL lovingly brings to life all of 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. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos in a musical adventure which tests the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community…
