Join Meriden Senior School on a fantastical, musical extravaganza that brings to life classic Dr Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird and the little kid with a big imagination – Jojo. The colourful characters will transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus and to the invisible world of the Whos.

Seussical tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the 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 in 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.

Running time: 2 hours and 20 minutes (this includes a 20 minute interval).
