Seussical TYA
Share
Major cuts include the deletion of "The Military," "The Circus McGurkus," "The Butter Battle" and "Havin' a Hunch."
There are many small, internal musical cuts.
The size of the cast has been reduced to a minimum of twelve actors (with doubling).
The entire character of General Gengus Khan Schmitz has been eliminated.
Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical TYA is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." 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 to 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.
Seussical TYA is fun for the whole family! This version has been specially adapted to a 75-minute version with the option of utilizing a smaller cast size, making this a perfect option for high schools looking for competition shows or for tours and theatres with strong educational components. Seussical TYA is available with full orchestrations or fully orchestrated digital rehearsal/performance tracks.
