About This Show

Brimming with fun and excitement for all the family, the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss bursts
onto the stage in this feel-good musical bonanza. Set to an electric score and co-conceived by
Monty Python͛s Eric Idle, this raucous and ultimately touching story by Tony Award winners
Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty dares us to think big and reminds us of the power of loyalty,
family, and acceptance. After all, a person͛s a person no matter how small!

Far from being only a show just for children, Seussical is filled with larger-than-life characters
and an incredible and varied score featuring a range of genres from funk, to big band, to rock
and roll, to musical theatre. The much-loved characters all have something which we can all
connect with, be it a sense of mischief, insecurity, that feeling of you against the world, and
everything in between.

From bullying, to unrequited love, to being insecure with your body, to inclusivity, Seussical
touches on some of today͛s most topical issues in a funny and moving way. With choreography
from 2018 Off West End award winner Chris Whittaker, this production is an intelligent,
hilarious and moving piece of theatre whose themes, plot, characters, and score resonate and
entertain audiences of all ages.
