“Gertrude McFuzz” and the Birdie Girls: Megan Davis, Jenn Harrison, Lindsey Liebert, Hannah Griffo, Kathy Bilinski and Kristi McClure in feathered finery.
The magical world of Dr. Seuss leaps off the page and onto the stage in Gananda's Seussical™ The Musical, opening April 4th at the Susan H. Alexander Performing Arts Center . This fanciful extravaganza filled with toe-tapping tunes, wild characters, fun, and laughter is directed by Kevin Farnsworth.
Based on the books of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss, Seussical™ is a montage of Seuss' most whimsical and wonderful characters, brought to the stage by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the award-winning creators of Broadway hits Ragtime, Once on this Island , and My Favorite Year. The “Cat in the Hat” (played by Brett Gunio), an outside observer, acts as the narrator who leaps into the action to create fun, as heroic Horton the Elephant (Max Frauel) endeavors to protect the people of Who-ville, who live on a tiny speck of dust.
Seussical™ The Musical is performed on April 4 and 5 at 7:30 pm and April 6th at 3:00 pm in the Susan H. Alexander Performing Arts Center in Walworth at the Ruben A. Cirillo High School . Advance sale tickets are $7 for adults, and $6 for students and Sr. Citizens. Ticket prices increase $1 at the door.
