The cast is completed by Daisy Steere (42nd Street), Adam Dawson (Spring Awakening), Robbie Fell (Song), Rhys Benjamin (Bring It On), Marianna Neofitou (Grease) and Sarah Spence (9 to 5 The Musical).
Co-conceived by Monty Python's Eric Idle – who played the Cat in the Hat in the show's pre-Broadway tryout – Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's musical is based on the children's stories of Dr Seuss, including Horton Hears a Who!.
It debuted on Broadway in 2000 and at the Arts Theatre in the West End in 2012. The Southwark Playhouse revival is directed by James Tobias, choreographed by Chris Whittaker, designed by Justin Williams and Jonny Rust, has costumes by Rachel Cartlidge, musically directed by James Doughty with sound by Nico Menghini.
