Seussical debuted on Broadway in 2000 and is mainly based on Horton Hears a Who!, Horton Hatches the Egg and The One Feather Tail of Gertrude McFuzz but features references to other Dr Seuss books including The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. ‘In true Seuss style, there’s something in the show for adults as well as children,’ director Amanda Crewes said.
‘You cannot help but fall in love with these characters and their determination to achieve their goals and do what’s right in the face of adversity.
‘It’s very clever how all the stories have been woven together and how each story affects the other.’
She said the main aim of Seussical was to focus on the art of storytelling.
