“Seussical” is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza that is perfect for the whole family. Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little kid with a big imagination – Jojo.
The cast is led by Austin Ragusin, Caleb Freeman, Abby Jolicoeur, Xan Mattek, Karen Blackmon, Kalene Blanton, Jackson Dorris, Haylee Couey and Megan Ahern.
WSU School of Performing Arts alumnus Daxton Bloomquist is the guest director and choreographer. The production team is led by co-director Amy Baker Schwiethale; music direction by Phil Taylor; stage managed by Katherine Donaghue and Erin Mittman; and designed by Performing Arts students and faculty.
The performance is sponsored by KMUW.
