Upcoming Major Production: Seussical, the Musical



One would think it an impossible task to condense the major characters and stories of Dr. Seuss into a cohesive musical, but Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens have managed to do just that in Seussical The Musical. Here, they incorporate bits and pieces of at least 10 Seuss classics, including Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches the Egg, Gertrude McFuzz, McElligott's Pool, I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew and of course, The Cat in the Hat!

Seussical The Musical concludes the 2008-2009 season of plays and musicals at Habersham Community Theatre in Clarkesville, Georgia, with its run July 30th – August 9th. This fantastically family friendly show centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible 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, the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart."

Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant; in a story that makes you laugh and cry. In the end Seussical is really about believing in yourself, keeping promises, and the rewards of being an independent "thinker." The Seussical score is a wonderfully eclectic mix of everything from traditional ballads like "Alone in the Universe" and "Solla Sollew" to the funkier sounds of "Monkey Around." Of course, Ahrens and Flaherty have a reputation for writing fantastic opening numbers, and "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" is certainly no exception.

Director Chris Parker is extremely excited to bring this, one of his all time favorite musicals, to HCT. He is sure that audiences of all ages will be delighted as the characters of Dr. Seuss come to life on stage. “There will be a hard working cast of 30 on that stage, and every single one of them will bring the fantastic world of Seuss to life,” says Parker.

Performances are July 30, 31, August 1, 6, 7, 8 at 7:30 PM and August 2 and 9 at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $16 for adults and $11 for students and may be ordered online or by calling 706-839-1315. Come join us!
