A musical perfect for the whole family, and one very dear to our hearts, Seussical takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and JoJo. The Cat in the Hat guides us into The Jungle of Nool where we meet Horton, the kindhearted elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing Whoville. He meets JoJo, a Who child sent to military school 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 in his care by the lazy Mayzie la Bird. 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, Gertrude McFuzz, never loses faith in him. Eventually, the two fall in love. Originally produced by One More Productions in 2008, Seussical, weaves a beautiful story of friendship, loyalty, and love and teaches us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring the show back to life on The GEM stage 16 years later for a whole new generation to fall in love with!
