The Middle School Theatre Department at Malibu High will bring to life the stories of Dr. Seuss with its Feb. 19 debut of “Seussical – the Musical,” directed by Brigette Leonard and featuring a cast of 22 middle-school singers and dancers.
Conceived by Tony award winners Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle (of “Monty Python” fame), “Seussical” is a musical adaptation of the books of Theodore Geisel (also known as “Dr. Seuss”). Guided by “The Cat in the Hat,” the audience follows young Jojo as his imagination carries him into the whimsical world of his favorite childhood stories.
Classic Seussian characters like Horton, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie LaBird and the Whos of Whoville draw Jojo into the story as they sing and dance their way through some of the most popular tales of Dr. Seuss.
