Seussical, the musical

Zao Theatre
550 S Ironwood Dr Apache Junction

It's coming! It's coming! It's coming soon! The bestest birthday celebration under the moon! Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss! Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and other characters from the whimsical imagination of Dr. Seuss come together in this musical featuring a score by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who hears a noise coming from a speck of dust on a clover and commits himself to protecting it and the Whos who live on it. Jojo, a misfit Who child who thinks too many "thinks" struggles to find his place in the tiny Who society. Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
