Seussical the Musical - From Seuss to Song

Seussical the Musical is about an imaginative boy named Jojo who discovers a strange red and white striped top hat. He wonders what kind of person would wear such a hat, when The Cat in the Hat magically appears! As they sing and jump from one adventure to another, famous Seussian characters come and go, including The Whos, Horton the Elephant and Gertrude McFuzz.
