Avg. Event Rating (4.9 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Just imagine a world where anything's possible. Beloved Seuss stories and themes are woven together in this colorful musical that follows the adventures of the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz and a gaggle of delightful Seuss characters who try to restore harmony to the Jungle of Nool. The Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime and Once On This Island) give a Seussian spin to the score which cleverly combines a gumbo of musical styles--from Latin to pop; swing to gospel; and R&B to funk! So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and you're imagination run wild for 'Oh, the thinks you can think, when you think about Seuss!' Directed by Laurie Cullity. For all ages.

    I love all of Dr. Seuss's stories, so when I heard about Seussical, I simply had to see it! My expectations were extremely high and it did not disapoint! This show was great so you should mark a date!

    I saw Seussical Jr. at Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre, (A Theatre in the Round) Last Friday, there are 4 casts and I saw Early (Openining) Cast, and it was a blast! Directed by Bill Atkinson, who did a good job directing the show with the challenge of in the round theatre, but I had 1 issue, in the scene Solla Sollew I watched the back of Hortons head and had to crane my neck to see the Who Family. Choreography by Tiffany Atkinson, and Madison McDonald, which overall I didnt like, but some of it was good like Havin' a Hunch. Standout Performers: Jojo, has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard on a young boy and good acting skills, Gertrude who had a beautiful voice and had the appropriate awkwardness, Mayzie, who along with Jojo was my favorite performer. My main issue with the performance was there seemed to be little Music Direction! It had a fun set! See this Show! Collapse
