~Seussical~

Music by Stephen Flahaerty

Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens

Book by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty

Co-Conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, & Eric Idle

Based on the Works of Dr. Seuss
Welcome to a world where anything’s possible – an elephant in a tree, a person too tiny to see, a heroic child and dreams running wild. Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the team behind such hits as Ragtime, My Favorite Year and Schoolhouse Rock, bring Dr. Seuss’s most beloved characters to life in this whimsical delight for the whole family. Imaginative Seuss-inspired sets and costumes will make this a treat for the eyes as well as the ears. Seussical is guaranteed fun and adventure for kids ages 8 to 108!

"Clever, colorful, tuneful and full of heart!

Dr. Seuss comes through again!" The Indianapolis Sun
