Seussical the Musical is fun. It has brightly colored sets and costumes. It has lots of singing and dancing to all kinds of music that makes you want to sing and dance and think. In fact, it starts with a boy who loves to think and wonder and dream. He meets the Cat in the Hat and it’s a wild adventure from then on. He meets many characters from the books by Dr. Seuss, whose stories have been woven together with amazing music that ranges from jazz to Beach Boys rock’n’roll to a heartfelt melancholy ballad to a soft and sweet lullaby ending with a “drum-intense” big band swing number.
First seen here at ASPI in 2011, Seussical was a big step for us then, our first Broadway musical (with a brand-new lighting system – all those colors!). Thirteen years later, it is my great pleasure to present it to you again. I am so grateful to our cast and crew who have worked since September to sing, dance, build sets and props, create costumes and most of all, bring to life these funny, sweet, sour, cool, sassy, and loving characters and their stories. On the technical side, we have put every special effect we could find into this show, so be prepared for the unexpected. Be prepared for stars, colors, flashes, thunder, fog, bubbles, spooky tap dancers, and a few surprises.
I hope you enjoy all of it and find some new “thinks” of your own.
Thank you,
Debra Jolly
