more on the play:

Get ready for a whimsical journey through the world of Dr. Seuss as Sun Prairie West High School presents Seussical the Musical! Featuring some of Dr. Seuss' most beloved characters, this colorful and energetic musical brings to life a story of imagination, adventure, and heart.

The show, narrated by the Cat in the Hat, tells the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust that contains an entire world—the Whos, including young Jojo, a child whose "thinks" often get him into trouble. As Horton faces challenges from the skeptical world around him, including naysayers, kidnappers, and a trial, he also takes on the responsibility of caring for an abandoned egg left by the flamboyant Mayzie La Bird. Through it all, the loyal Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in Horton, proving that friendship and belief in one another can conquer even the greatest obstacles.

November 8-9, 15-16 at 7:00 p.m.; November 10 & 17 at 2:00 p.m. (includes ASL interpretation on Nov. 17th), at Sun Prairie West High School Performing Arts Center, 2850 Ironwood Drive, Sun Prairie, WI 53590
