“Oh, the thinks you can think," when Dr. Seuss's best-loved characters such as the Cat in the Hat and Horton the Elephant take the stage in this fun-filled Theatreworks USA musical adventure. Ages 4-10
Background:
After playing on Broadway in 2000-2001, Ahrens and Flaherty condensed their musical into a one-act version appropriate for young audiences, which premiered at the Coterie Theatre in Kansas City, MO. Theatreworks USA’s production of Seussical began its national tour in September 2006 and was presented at Off-Broadway’s Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York in summer 2007 as Theatreworks USA’s annual Free Summer Theatre program. This production received 2008 Lucille Lortel Award nominations for Outstanding Revival, Outstanding Choreography and Outstanding Costumes, in addition to a Drama League Award nomination for Outstanding Musical Revival. An original cast recording of this production is scheduled to be released on Jay Records in 2009. Seussical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
Seussical differs from Theatreworks USA’s usual format in that it features twice as many actors as other productions, and also has enhanced scenic and costume elements. The twelve actors and stage managers in Seussical rehearsed for two weeks in New York City with the director. Once the tour begins, the actors and stage managers typically arrive at the performance venue early in the morning to set up the scenery and to prepare for the performance. Following the show, they pack the set, costumes, and sound equipment into two large vans, and drive to the next city, sleep in a hotel, and begin the whole ritual again the following day.
