Riverbank Theatre Presents SEUSSICAL

Celebrate the zany world of Dr. Seuss in this energetic musical full of imagination and heart!

The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical the musical, a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.

The Cat in the Hat (Xavier J. Bush) transports Jojo (a role shared by brothers Brian and Connor Martin) and the audience from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, narrating the story of Horton the Elephant (Aaron Dennis Smith), who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird (Amanda Rae Evans). Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz (Brittany Everitt Smith) never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

Come on down to Riverbank Theatre and shake off the winter blues with this bold, energetic, and colorful production. Seussical is fun for the whole family, ages 4 to 104!
