3. Seussical, Jr.: Show-verview!
Seussical is a musical based on the classic tales of Dr. Seuss, primarily Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches the Egg, and Miss Gertrude McFuzz
The show is almost entirely sung, and almost all in rhyme! Very reliant on a talented and enthusiastic ensemble (YOUR WONDERFUL STUDENTS!)
Seriously, they are amazing. This show was hard to cast.
Show Dates:
March 31st, 6:30 pm
April 1st, 2:00 and 6:30 pm
